@mitu said in "No Gamepads Detected" upon start, even though there are definitely gamepads:

Does the controller have an additional D-Input mode ? Try switching to it and see if it's detected.

Problem solved, my man. I don't know if it was D-Input mode thing, but I found the controller's literature which mentioned you must power on the RP, and then plug the controller in, while holding the B-button down. Once I did this, the RP recognized the controller and we are in business.

I appreciate your help, man. Y'all are the best.

@rbaker thanks, but we've already ruled out the power issue (see my replies above on the progress). It detects in the command line thing, but won't detect in emulation station. Everything works fine in Windows, so i know nothing is broken. This is really for linux masters only.
