      Latest Retropie on a Raspberry Pi 3.

      I've got a lovely double arcade joystick hooked up to the Pi by USB, and I'm running two versions of MAME - the "standard" MAME 2003 (0.78 ROMs in the "ARCADE" folder), and also MAME4ALL (0.37b5 ROMs in the "MAME-MAME4ALL" folder, obv).

      MAME4ALL recognises all six face buttons on both sticks no problem. But MAME 2003 just shrugs its shoulders and does nothing if you try to assign buttons 5 or 6 on either of the sticks to anything, failing to register that you've even pressed them. Is this a known bug or have I just missed a setting somewhere?

        @spudsmctoole for lr-mame2003 (or any other lr- emulator) to recognise a button, it must be bound during https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#configure-controllers

        you can repeat that process by going to 'configure input' in the emulationstation options.

          I would have thought it already was, otherwise MAME4ALL wouldn't be recognising it, but I'll give it a go.

            @spudsmctoole mame4all is not a libretro emulator.
