Well, I don’t know what I did, but the Wiimote suddenly started working... weird...

@noiz13 First, you should answer the questions asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, as requested by the forum.
For your particular controller, see these topics covering similar problems

Thanks! I guess it's just a matter of time then.

@driagonv Don't use save_on_exit for playing with re-maps, use the RGUI/RA Menu to Save Core Remap - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.

I think it is definitely related to the cheevos. When I load up RetroArch from the RetroPie menu, the controller is detected instantly like always. When I try to load a game, it takes a long time before detecting. When I disable the cheevos and load up the same game, the controller is recognized instantly too. The strange thing is, it waits like it's connecting to the server, but doesn't pop up my profile being logged in until AFTER it detects my controller. Even then, it's slow popping up the list of earned cheevos for me. I wonder if there's work being done on that side of the system?

@meleu - Anything going on you know of?

Twinaphex said the he would like to fix this color shifting bug but somehow the bug hasn't been fully documented yet. Probably not on the fast track to a fix :(

@wesleyaraujo Ask for a refund and get a working system with 4 USB ports.

After poking around a little longer I have realized that I am in fact an idiot and dropped the file in the wrong folder. This is embarrassing. That being said, this controller is pretty great for retro console gaming.

For anyone wondering, I got it working using Raspidmx PNGView: ./pngview -b 0 -l 10000 file.png

I set the layer to 10000 so it overlaps EmulationStation as well as RetroArch

@mitu notepad ++... cfg file. Might just try to revert retroarch, seems challenging for the non tech saavy tho. Or just remap over about 80 remap files

@mediamogul got it working. i think it sees my dolphinbar as 4 mice. so i needed mouse index 4 for my regular mouse. thank you for your help.

What was the solution here in the end? Why doesn't Mame2016 work?

@cloudlink Dude, you are the best! I can at last launch atari games without a keyboard!

@thekraftyman if you log out of Ubuntu and then log back in with "wayland mode" that will fix the gl driver issue

I tried to reconfigure from within retropie, and for some reason the changes weren't holding correctly. I suspect it was probably permissions related, though I'm not sure how the permissions on the .cfg could have gotten messed up.

@lostless Thanks for the link, it does seem like the problem I'm having. I'll have to try the patch that was mentioned at the end of the thread and see how it goes. Unfortunately my build is in a old NES case with the two original controller always plugged in and inaccessible without opening up the entire case. So if I can't figure this out I guess my only remedy is to open the case and unplug the NES controllers each time I want to use the SNES ones. Here's hoping that isn't what I have to do.

@jasonw Dude - that worked! Thank you so much.

What I did was uninstall xpad driver, reinstall, reboot, reconfigure the joypad in ES. And bingo! Back in business :-)

@herb_fargus said in Anyone's Inputs Change with 4.4?:

There were some driver modifications but don't know how they affect PS4. It was discussed at length on GitHub. Don't remember if it was merged in or not before release

Would this thread be what you're referring to? I wonder if that's somehow what I'm running into somehow?

Edit: Just checked. Still at 1.7.1.

Edit Again: Follow this thread.

@ogbuehi said in FBA emulator not registering controllers:

Okay, I found something that worked. Thanks all!

Detailing what that was could potentially help others in the future. Care to share?
