You can use jscal to modify the deadzone(s) of an analog joystick, then jscal-store to save the values so they can be applied automatically on boot.

Okay so I figured out what was going on. I had two micro-usb cords, one was connected to my RaspberryPi and one to my laptop. The issue was with my micro-usb to the RaspberryPi, it was powering the Teensy LC but not reading it.

I switched the cords and it started working on the RaspberryPi.

You can imagine how frustrated I was, given I am new to all this.

Thanks for your help Mitu!

See if that works for you.

i found the close session, but when it exited to the nothing running in retroarch menu, i couldn't press anything to navigate...this is difficult for me. i've been trying to fix this for like 4 days hahaah! i suck at this, but i enjoy the challenge i guess! anyway, thanks if anyone has had this happen to them and would throw me a bone, i'd sure appreciate it!
thank you

@krullbeast i'm only asking because the teensy hasn't arrived yet, otherwise i would just try it! hahah, sorry...

I used a teensy 3.2 with an xbox(ish) setup, the only difference being the r2 and l2 are buttons not analog triggers. This would also apply to the teensy LC which is similar.

Here's a couple pics of the handheld I made, I'm just getting the controls working and all the emulators setup and having a blast!

@Halvhjearne My preferred method is indeed to preserve the original hardware so that changes can always be undone.

Maybe there is another way. I did managed to mod 2 original gameboy advance with ags-101 lcd mod and custom made micro usb charging lithium battery option without destroying the original shell. I think i will buy 2 SNES USB adapters to begin with and then i can always look on the internet after other options as well and they are pretty cheap on ebay.

Thanks for your opinion. :-)

@BadMojo12 ok understood. Advmame can be installed as an optional package. I think it used to be installed by default but now its one of the optional packages. You'll need to become familiar with the Retropie directories. Can you get your pi on your network and drill into it from your pc with ftp or ssh? I use ftp to copy roms and move files around, and ssh to edit .rc files. I will also use a keyboard on the pi to run tests. Just about everything I've learned came from these here forums and the documentation.

@arturgomes I love how janky it is

Retropie detects 2 gamepads when I connect the Teensy with the 2 analog sticks, but I can't configure any input when I move the PSP sticks. Any idea? :/

Is anyone able to help? Did I miss something obvious?

I have tried these different profiles however they do not seem to do anything, I cannot even get to the emulation station config screen.
Any help would be awesome!

@bassholio which n64 emulator?

@Jiehfeng Just tried with another button, works fine. I guess that button was faulty. Thanks again. :)

I'm having the same issue with Teensy LC. The symptoms are exactly like https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3860/usb-joypad-teensy-appearing-as-2-joysticks/3. Were you ever able to find a solution?

Fixed my problem. Figured I'd post the resolution in the event that somebody else inevitably has the same issue. gunnarh's posted solution was right. It's not an issue of the multiple joysticks. It's actually the sketch. You need to use the bounce library, like was used in gunnarh's link. Without it, the buttons don't get recognized properly within retropie. I went as far as to edit the usb_desc.h for the teensyduino libary to only have it expose the joystick, and nothing more. That worked for only having a single joystick show up, but the button issue remained. It wasn't until I utilized the Bounce library, that my button presses behaved as I expected.
