      @mitu I need you to unlock that recent post of mine about the splashscreen. I reposted on that topic because nobody was able to help me with my previous post and the one that you locked had more detail and pictures that might be able to be diagnosed by someone who actually knows how to fix my issue.

      USB SNES controller not configured message when rom loads

      @RonsterMonster said in USB SNES controller not configured message when rom loads:

      So the name match, but i think there is a catch.
      usb gamepad.cfg is the file name
      running cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives:
      Name="usb gamepad "
      Looks like a lot of empty spaces ???

      If you look in the issue link I posted, you'll see it's the same situation. The .cfg name is without spaces, while the name of the joystick has a lot of spaces at the end. Just rename the file so it has the same name (usb gamepad .cfg, with the spaces at the end).

      would I be better off if i want to use my laptop to run emulators manually and not use retropie? I prefer retropie as its all bundled up :)

      Not sure what you mean here - you mean installing the emulators outside of RetroPie and running them ? You can do that, but I don't see how that can be easier for someone that's not familiar with each emulator in particular (i.e. know about RetroArch et. all).

      Although strange, I have only declared one controller in ES.
      By this way, I have no more strange behaviour on some buttons. So it's better now.
      Still have the controller 1 or 2 swapping in some emulators...
      Try to manage with joystick-selection, but not sure it could handle this 100%, as name and reference are always the same.

      A couple of my favorites:

      Logitech F710
      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Logitech-Controller/

      Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
      https://store.nintendo.com/pro-controller.html

      The Logitech is pretty affordable, works right out of the box, and uses 2.4GHz wireless adapter so you don't have to mess with bluetooth pairing. Supports rumble.

      The switch pro is more expensive, but the stick would be in a better position for N64 games. It does use bluetooth so it needs to be paired, but I had no trouble with getting it to work.

      Late reply, but confirming...

      I wanted and did the same thing with the same result. I switched back to HDMI to composite video and audio converter and the system works well, again.

      @crush ... Ok testing complete. The powered hub will work with or without the adapter pulling power from the adapter if present.

      --> Shutdown Pi.
      --> Add USB hub *unpowered.
      --> Add USB audio.
      --> Bring back up.
      Result: Same odd behavior with the controller etc. on different newer hub.

      -->Shutdown Pi.
      --> Plug in power adapter to USB hub.
      --> Turn on.
      Result: Everything works as expected.

      So in my case it was a voltage issue with the X-Arcade and the USB audio being on the same USB hub.

      @joesnow81 I've just started setting it up here, and have the same dragonwise usb controller.
      I see the exact same behaviour, it works in the menues, but when I start the game it shows 'controller not configured' and then starts the game.
      Did you get it solved?

      @mitu It works just fine within EmulationStation, but once I start RetroArch everything freezes until I connect the USB controller.

      @jakejm79 Did you ever figure this out? I was thinking it would be awesome to use the same idea to unlock the console with key inputs to be able to use a coin dispensor. But am not finding anyway to do what you were requesting either.

      Button mapping and hotkeys

      The 'Auto Config Buttons' dialog allows selection of single keys for each of the control functions, then, right at the end, it asks for the 'hot key' button. Without a 'hot key' assignment the control buttons work on their own. If you hold a key down for more than 2 seconds while at any selection (including for 'hot key') the dialog will assign 'nul' as the button.

      If you don't have very many buttons/inputs then the use of a 'hot key' + 'game button' is the only way to control Retropie. This also is the mode you will have to use if you use genuine console pads which do not have any control buttons, just game action buttons.

      If you do have spare buttons/inputs then assign the control functions to unique buttons and set the 'hot key' to nul. This can be done by running the config buttons dialog manually with - 'Settings -> Inputs -> User 1 Binds -> User 1 Bind Default All' or by manually editing the file it creates at '/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg'

      I'm also new to this and awaiting the delivery of extra hardware to experiment with how to add an extra Zero Config board that is used exclusively for the control buttons. (Maybe configure it as Player 5? does anyone know how to do this?)

      bye for now ...

      Ahhh shoot. Thanks both.

      Out of interest, is there any way to set the Logitech as the 'primary' controller - so that when I plug in the RetroFlag one the Logitech continues to be the one that can access the RGUI menu?

      actually i think there is a hardware problem with the controller.
      as i booted retropie right now.. no controller was found. unless i plug in the other controller.

      so i probably think there is a hardware issue with the one controller..
