Is it possible to navigate in the EmulationStation and RetroArch's menu by using the left analog stick of gamepad?

Hi.

I have:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
-- AC Adapter - Output: 5V, 3000mA
-- SD Card - 64GB
RetroPie v4.3 (Pre-made image)
-- EmulationStastion v2.6.3rp
-- RetroArch v1.6.7
-- Xboxdrv v0.8.8
iPega gamepads
-- PG-9062S (it has real analog triggers)
-- PG-9037 (it has buttons instead triggers)

My question is in the title. Is there a way to configure this native?

for retroarch yes. in /opt/retropie/config/ there are folders for each sytem. inside those folders is a retroarch.cfg file. in all of the retroarch.cfg files, except the ones in "all", "psx", and "psp" add these lines. this also make the left analog work just like the d-pad in games.

input_player1_up_axis = "-1"
input_player1_down_axis = "+1"
input_player1_left_axis = "-0"
input_player1_right_axis = "+0"

input_player2_up_axis = "-1"
input_player2_down_axis = "+1"
input_player2_left_axis = "-0"
input_player2_right_axis = "+0"

Thank you! It's almost perfect. It's good for me. But the IDs of the axes (-0, +0; -1, +1) are used from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/ . They can be different in different controllers. For example, I have 2 gamepads. And they have different IDs of the axes of the right stick. Probably, it can be with the left stick. So, it's not really a universal solution.

To solve this problem You can specify these settings for each controller in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/<gamepad's name>.cfg:

input_left_axis = "-0"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_down_axis = "+1"
