8bitdo SF Pro - up/down left/right are not the same analog joystick

[peterd0404]

From the RetroPie Setup Script, I have 4.3.8.
controller fw: v1.23
Raspberry Pi 3

I have searched the forum, web, and Retropie documents for this same issue and did not find a resolution.

When I am using MAME, my left analog stick moves left/right and my right analog stick moves up/down. How to configure the left analog stick to do both left/right/up/down?

I also noticed that different emulators (advmame-0.94, advmame-1.4, advmame) will have different settings for the analog stick.

I assume I have to modify emulators settings for the analog sticks. Are there instructions to modify that?

I am a newbie to RetroPie. Any information to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Check the emulator page in the docs to see more details about input configuration. There are 2 kinds of emulators present in:

• Libretro based emulators - they're run from RetroArch and they all benefit from the same input configuration. You can easily recognize them by their name (lr-...). To configure them, just press Select + X while in-game and then you'll get the configuration menu for RetroArch where you can change your input settings and then save it.
  I'd suggest trying to set your gamepad with the Analog option - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Playstation-1/#analog-controller-type

• Non-libretro emulators (like advmame), which have their own input configuration. RetroPie will try to pre-configure them, based on your input mapping from the Emulationstation configuration dialog, but some of them might require tweaking.
