Flipped Buttons on DualShock2 with Adapter

IonicOwl

Hey everyone. Fairly new to Retropie, but I've been using it for a couple of weeks and have got it working pretty sweet.

Except for the controllers that is. I've previously used a PS3 controller with no issues aside from some button remapping in RetroArch for the PS1 emulator, but because this Pie is going to relatives I can't let them have my controller, so they'll be using PS2 controllers instead.

I've bought one of those two port to USB adaptors (this exact one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01K1CRX6A?ref_=pe_3187911_248764861_302_E_DDE_dt_1). It seems to work out of the box just fine. I can map all of the buttons in ES, but when I load up a PS1 game, the X and Triangle buttons are switched.

All other buttons correspond perfectly, it's just X and Triangle for some reason. If I go into the RetroArch RGUI (with Select + Square), I can flip the buttons around and it works fine. If I quit out of the game and launch another, it reverts it back to X and Triangle being flipped again.

Things I've tried:

Saving the config in the RGUI
Saving the config in the RGUI and restarting the game from the RGUI (without exiting). This works until I exit the game with Start + Select.
Editing the config file at /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/Twin USB Joystick.cfg. Swapping the values for X and Triangle manually, followed by a reboot.

No matter what I try, the config just won't stick, despite working initially before exiting the game.

That's not how it should be done - you should (have) use(d) the Core Remapping option in the RGUI - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.

I guess I must have completely missed that option somehow. That's worked perfectly - thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction :)
