CONTROLLER Error - Always remapping between cores
-
So I have had my raspberry pi 3 for 2 yrs. I have 2 - usb arcade sticks and buttons plugged in along with a track ball usb. I had zero problems until about 3 months ago. Here is the problem....
- After the initial controller configuration, and I select a game in a core ( mame, snes, fba, etc...). The button mapping goes haywire. So much in fact its hard to maneuver and go back to the menu ( with the hot key + start). I have to reconfigure the controllers every time I exit a rom in order to manuver ( its unplayable at this point)
- As of today, the mame emulator is only recognizing the "game pad" #2. #1 isn't recognized.
I have been troubleshooting like crazy the last several weeks. Today I deleted all the configurations from the opt folders ( via a SFTP) and uninstalled and reinstalled retroarch, hoping to give me a clean slate.
After I reinstalled retroarch, I rebooted, mapped my usb controllers upon reboot, started a game in mame, and the problem still exists.
Any help would be appreciated, I am at a lost right now. Thanks for the help!

Please give more information about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Which MAME emulator ? There are several emulators for arcade available.
Your problem seems to be triggered by using 'Save Config on Exit' option in RetroArch - did you by any chance have this option turned on ? -
Thanks for teh qyick feedback, please see below for more info.
I verified, the "save configuration on Exit" is OFF

How to replicate the problem: -
Sorry to say it, but we don't support 3rd party images (Motion blue ?). Please use the image provided at retropie.org.uk/download and then we'll be able to provide support.
