@jay81uk The problem with the Pi0 image not working with the Pi0W was fixed within a day or two of the Pi0ws release as far as I can remember.

Have you tried any other controllers? Also, more information on your setup and usage would help. The necessary information is found at:

@Shootersf I have only tried PiFBA briefly. I use lr-fbalpha as I use a Pi3. Does PiFBA have a config file that can be edited and saved? It may well stick if you go that route.

@herb_fargus OK. Got it. No emulators we're installed.

Cheers

Well done man, well one.

@meleu Hey, thank you for the steps! The problem as described in that other thread certainly sounds like what's happening with me.

This doesn't seem to solve my problem, unfortunately. Something I did notice - in the RetroArch config file, after I set the Bluetooth controller up as Player 2, it still gives me this:

input_player2_b = "nul"
input_player2_b_btn = "nul"
input_player2_b_axis = "nul"
input_player2_y = "nul"
input_player2_y_btn = "nul"
input_player2_y_axis = "nul"
input_player2_select = "nul"
input_player2_select_btn = "nul"
input_player2_select_axis = "nul"
input_player2_start = "nul"
input_player2_start_btn = "nul"
input_player2_start_axis = "nul"
input_player2_up = "nul"

It also still gives me the same problem if I set the Bluetooth controller as player 1 and then manually edit the input_player1_ button variables to represent the buttons on the Bluetooth controller. Nothing changes.

I wonder if a fresh RetroPie install and configuring via RGUI is necessary, like the last guy did. Any thoughts?

@malleymob No prob, glad i could help save you the extra steps

@hendrix Oh well i'll have to find a use for them. i found cheap ones at walmart for 10$ so that will be that

@edmaul69 yeah i'm using usb 2. my goal was to get a cheap hub and the usb 3 are rather exempensive for the use ;)

Formated the microSD card, wrote the latest img file (4.2) and now all is good.
Controllers are now installed and working fine.
Case closed. Thanks.

did anyone ever provide some type of response to this or has anything been identified?

I think it deserves props for having six face buttons so you can play MegaDrive games properly, while still having the shoulder buttons for SNES.

@obsidianspider yeah, bit this one was working with pi zero. Thank you

@jacklaidlaw Thanks!
