      Hi, I’ve read through all the documentation but couldn’t find anything to help me so I was wondering if someone out there can?

      I’ve been using (and loving) my Raspberry Pi 3 since last summer and I’ve never had any issues with my controller (a WiiU Pro, definitely recommended for Retropie!).

      However, recently I’ve downloaded a load of different options on the experimental menu and my controller has been playing up ever since.

      I went back into the options and got rid of all the new stuff I’d downloaded that had to do with controllers, Bluetooth etc.. but to no avail.

      It’s a weird one, because in the main menu it all works fine, but as soon as I’m in a game only the keyboard works (and even that doesn’t have the full options it used to!). None of the buttons work and there’s no way to come out of the game without turning off the machine (I used to be able to use the home+start combination to go back to the menu).

      I’ve tried all the ‘obvious things,’ like re-configuring the controller, looking through all the Retropie AND Retroarch options, but still no luck.

      Like I say, apologies if this is an easy fix, but if anyone can help I’d greatly appreciate it!

      Tim :)

        NOTE: I deleted you previous topic, seems to be identical to this one.

        Regarding your issue, what exactly did you install from the drivers section ? What controller are you using right now - and it's not working ?
        Can you please add more details about your current setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

          @mitu Sorry, my internet dropped off when posting the first one so didn’t think it had sent!

          Here’s a list of the drivers I have downloaded at the moment:

          Controlock
          custombidsony
          Gamecondriver
          Mkarcade joystick
          Powerblock
          Sixaxis
          Snesdev
          Streamcontroller
          Xpad

          Does that help?

              @mitu yes, have uninstalled them all and it seems to have done the trick. Thanks :)
