PS1 classic controller on RetroPie?
-
So I've recently purchased a used PS1 classic for $20. I mainly bought it for the classic ps1 usb controllers. I have retropie installed on Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop. I figured that it would just be plug and play like most usb controllers. Turns out Retropie doesnt recognize it. I did 'lsusb - v' just to make sure that Ubuntu recognized it and it did. I literately did this for just a few minutes so I havent done much troubleshooting. I was just wondering if I was missing something obvious like a missing depedency or package that needs to be installed.
Output of 'lsusb -v' for the controller:

@polygonman244 did you try to program it in emulationstation as you need to to get it to work? The controllers work fine for me.
-
@edmaul69 Usually it will prompt me to program a controller, would i be able to manually map it in retropie config?
-
Nevermind, I just used the 'map controller' setting and it worked. I feel really dumb right now

@polygonman244 if you have mapped a keyboard in emulationstation it will never ask again for you to configure a controller.
