      @meleu I just found out that the buttons don't work in raspi-config. Cursor movement is fine but A and B don't work.

        Just like Aunt Josephine, I have a great love of grammar.

        YES, WE GOT A LEMONY SNICKET FAN! :D

        Anyways, back on track, I think this seems like a good idea. Helps to clear up confusion and helps to not trigger grammar enthusiasts.

          Forgot to mention this as well, but is there a way to change the buttons on the main menu to be fit for each controller? e.x. PS3 and PS4 controllers, since they use different buttons.

            Didn't get what you mean... Which main menu are you talking about?

            Anyway, if you configure the circle to be the A on your controller (PS2/PS3/PS4/Whatever), it will be the <enter> on the runcommand/retropie_setup. Is it you're talking about?

              The Emulation Station menu, the one that looks like this: 0_1495061501943_d1942560-627b-4bc6-b554-b2cf2adc64e1-image.png

                @itsnitro oh... my changes in joy2key has nothing to do with emulationstation...
                if your controllers don't have an uniform behaviour, I think you need to reconfigure them.

                    @DarkWolf So I was finally able to test the "older" ps4 controller and I have to say "It works, ... kind of"
                    The input works but has a delay around 5 seconds or something like that
                    Dunno if this is a problem with the kernel, the controller itself or the joy2key script...

                    System: Raspberry 3 Model B, RetroPie 4.2.1
                    Storage: 16gb Micro SD, 64gb USB Drive
                    Theme: Updated NBBA

                    Documentation solves many problems: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

                      Does it happen on retropie-setup/runcommand menus only?

                        I think it's worth to mention it was implemented. Those who like to update frequently may have noticed. The PR 1980 was merged, and now the "a button" means "A button".

                        Thanks to all the testers here!
