USB Joystick only reads up
-
So I bought the following https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JF34XPB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should be a simple plug and play. I wired everything up and in emulation station it reads joystick up, but nothing else. Tried both joysticks and both did the same thing. Buttons work fine. I decided to check both on my Windows 10, and they worked fine. I have read through post, looked all over, and am now going bald from ripping my hair out. I know it's got to be a setting, but have tried all sorts of things and nothing. Sorry in advance if I didn't give you everything you need, just let me know. Thanks in advance.

I think this topic should be in "Help and Support" as I would have expected someone to have responded by now.
You might have a similar problem to the one here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18637/zero-delay-joystick-not-working-upleft-and-downright-directions-others-are-good-i-m-running-a-pi3-with-retropie/4
I did have a similar problem to you (but not the same) with zero delay arcade joysticks. I fixed it. Try this first. The 5 pin connector may be attached the wrong way around. I bought 4 or 5 similar joysticks about 3 years ago. The connector (ie the connector to the joystick) connects both ways but only one way is right. When I connected mine upside down, it would read only a couple of the directions until I turned it the other way around. I found back then there was no way of telling which way was right and which wrong - at least when connected to the Pi.
