      @treedude the reason the 4 face buttons are wrong is because you configured the controller in emulationstation wrong. You need to configure it like a super nintendo controller. Then all the retroarch emulators will be correct.

        @edmaul69 How exactly is that possible? Upon first boot (using the raspberry pi 3 image) you configure the controller. There is no option for what controller type. The buttons are right for emustation or A and B would be reversed and I would notice that.

          @treedude have you verified both buttons function properly. The shoulder buttons can have issues. Sometimes they get pushed back because from taking an impact or too much pressure put on them. You can push the button on the board back out. Sometimes the shoulder buttons need replaced. Im not talking about the plastic but the physical button. I was playing resident evil 2 with a ps3 controller and didnt have any issues. So i would make sure to test your buttons in jstest to see if they are working correctly with both long and short presses.

            @edmaul69 If I just hold R1, the character will aim no problem. The moment I hit A the character will act as if I am clicking R1 rather than holding even though I didn't let go. I can reproduce this every time exactly the same way so I do not think it is the controller. I have an Xbox 1 controller I will try a little later just in case though. I'd rather not use that one though.

              @treedude is it an official controller or some aftermarket controller.

                @edmaul69 Official with a knock off reciever. But I've used that reciever extensively with PC games without trouble. Granted that was in Windows using the Microsoft driver.

                  @treedude if you have a charge cable have you tried it that way without the adapter?

                    Is it the V2-version with Bluetooth ? If it is, use the Bluetooth connection instead.

                    My soul rests, when I hear the PS1 boot music

                      @edmaul69 I don't have one I'm afraid. But those only charge the controller, they don't pass data.

                      @dd-indeed The Xbox 1 controller is a v2, but I'd prefer to use my 360 one.

                        @treedude well that sucks. It would be nice to be able to rule that out. But the xbox driver might be an issue too...
