@PetroRie

Thanks - I do have a PS4 so will give that a go later. Cant get much cheaper than "already have"!

@Everett1954

I can always ask a generic controller question.

You can do so and someone may be able to help. However, you'll always be working at a disadvantage in regard to troubleshooting any problems going forward, as you will never be sure exactly what was changed in the image that could be a contributing factor. This will not only exhaust your own time, but also that of others trying to help you.

@Brunnis Wow that was very in-depth, glad there are more educated people than me looking into this kind of stuff. All my tests were done using slow motion iphone video with side by side comparisons, not very accurate in the technical sense. Thanks for the extra info!

Very nicely done. Now I'm contemplating tweaks to my own build.

@derebo You can enter the menu on a keyboard initially, and then under Input (general) the first item is Config Menu which can be changed to a joypad button

Note that lr-mame2003 is a better mame emulator for the rpi3 though (Supports more games) - along with lr-fbalpha

Thanks for your reply. As mentioned by various other users it works without any flaws!

@BuZz I tried using those instructions to set up the controllers initially and it didn't work.

@ckylesworld I got the Buffalo controller too; slightly "soft" dpad but generally happy about how it works with Retropie 4.1.

@Rumblebelly5

This one looks even better.

@meleu Is there a way I can set a specific .cfg for each controller or system? So I avoid changing and renaming the retroarch.cfg every time I want to use another controller? For example on a system folder I have: Snes-usb.cfg, PS3-shawan.cfg, PS3-official.cfg. Can I select the cfg depending on the controller I will use?

@KillerQ you can set different mappings even for specific games. ;-)

@Jeddo no worries. I've done worse, sometimes resulting in fried parts. I'm glad it was something easy. Sometimes you just need another set of eyes to look at the problem.

That video worked fine for me with an original SNES controller. What problem are you having?

@Darksavior check the instructions made by joolswills in the comments here:

Maybe it get some improvements in the future, but you can change it currently.
