@mitu said in Joysticks not detected after upde:

it's your device - did you purchase it with RetroPie ?

Not really, it's not my device. My sister gave it to me because they were not using it and after updating it the joysticks stopped working.
I will try to reinstall mk_arcade_joystick_rpi and if not, I will have to reinstall it from 0.

Thanks!

I had the same issue with the same controller.
Now they are working and the only thing I know I did was updating retropie and all packages and all of a sudden it was working.
When using steam link it will not work however but thats not the main focus.

@Earthboundfan15 Please add more info about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

only way to influez is to hold ps button when conecting pad usb, but all tries did not detect any gamepad.

@jenny18 a spinner automatically detects as a mouse. You shouldnt have to do anything to get it working. In a mame game you might have to enable spinner/trackball/mouse in the game. A spinner never will detect as a controller.

How do I remove the udev rule? I don't know if I have it or not. I presume I do because earlier I was attempting to change it.

You just delete the line you added from the file you edited.

Nevermind. I figured it out already. I had to SSH into it and write some commands to install the PS4 and 360 controllers manually. Works great now

So, oddly, I figured out how to make it work. Not sure why though.
So for starters, it started working again yesterday (when I made the post), but I didn't know how. Regardless, today it stopped working again.

However, it was fixed quite simply. I plugged it into my PC, and then plugged it back into my Pi. Now it works fine again. I have no idea why, though.

Okay everyone, thank you for your help, i did it !!
Now, i know that a Cheap USB HUB is not a good idea ! x)
I bought a new one, not really more expensive, and Tada !

Thanks for everything !

So i've finally got further with this issue. I've removed retropie from my SD card and reinstalled it. Added the correct driver and set every GPIO pin in de conf file to 2 so my config now looks like this: gamecon_gpio_rpi map=0,0,2,2,2,2
Interesting enough now all of my controllers seem to work without the 5v mod or extra wires whatsoever. I've attached the NES pad to the PAD 4 pin. The only thing not working right now is in-game. The NES controller works in the menus of retropie and emulation station but not in an actual NES game. Going to figure that out next!

@Arakenzo Yes, I believe player one will work fine "out of the box" that is correct. It's really just player 2 that needs to be mapped. Drop a reply here to update on how your progress goes and if you find a better tutorial than the one I provided. A lot of people are interested in this same setup. Good luck!
