      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 B+
      Power Supply used: 5v AC Adapter
      RetroPie Version Used : 4.4.4
      Built From: 16 gb micro sd
      USB Devices connected: 1 TB portable HD, Dell Keyboard
      Controller used: Xinmotek 8 buttton joystick
      Emulator: Reicast

      When I first downloaded Reicast on the pi my joystick was automatically
      configured, and then one day it just stopped working for several emulators including Reicast.
      I'm trying to see if I can get past the date and time, but I can't since my joystick is not configured well
      I've tried doing /opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast-joyconfig and re configuring my controls that way but nothing happens, i'm a noob at this and still learning and would appreciate some help.

        Have you tried resetting the configuration ?

        Retopie setup / Emulation Station / Clear-reset EMU input configuration.

        When rebooting you get prompted to EMU input configuration screen so you can map your joystick again

          @Rutjes yea I even etched retropie v.4.4 on a new sd card and tried using it that way, but nothing.

              @menace23 are you going to the retropie setup script, manage packages, optional, reicast, configure/tools menu then input configuration? That’s the way I did it and it worked.
