Controller not working in some PSX games.

CCH3900

The game does support Analog. And I already tried this to no effect anyway.

I gave it a shot and I had no problem with the game - even with a Sony Dualshock 4 controller. Game supports analog and even rumble.

Try disabling the 'Show Bios Logo' and '2nd Memcard' options and see if that fixes anything.

Tried disabling the BIOS screen and 2nd memcard to no effect.

Get a log with Verbose logging enabled from the Runcommand launch menu. Run the game and then upload again the /dev/shm/runcommand.log to pastebin.com, just to see what options you have selected.
Just for comparison, I'm using the SCHP1001.bin bios and a .m3u playlist instead of a compressed PBP.

There's a warning somewhere in your log that I don't find in mine:

[..]
[WARN] Input device ID 5 is unknown to this libretro implementation. Using RETRO_DEVICE_JOYPAD.

You also seem to have a core remap file in use

[INFO] Remaps: core-specific remap found at /home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/remaps/PCSX-ReARMed/PCSX-ReARMed.rmp.

Could you try renaming the .rmp file and see if you get anything different ?

CCH3900

No change on the renaming of the remap file.

Can you also attach the retroarch.cfg files you have:

the global file from /opt/retropie/configs/all
the psx system from /opt/retropie/configs/psx

I don't have any other ideas except to re-download/re-upoad the game again to Retropie.

Deleted for sensitive info.

You've used 'Save configuration' from RetroArch and it's dumped all the configuration parameters into the .cfg files. The warning is produced by

input_libretro_device_p1 = "5"

which seems present in the psx config file. There's a slim chance that removing those input_libretro_device_p[X] might help, but I'd say you should try with a clean config (use the .rp-dist files in the configuration folders).
Btw, you should edit out your cheevos user/pass from the file or straight out remove the pastebins.

I'm actually having a very similar problem. Was playing Ape Escape the other night with a PS3 controller, Not the .PBP but .Bin and .Cue format, worked fine, the next morning I decided to update my RetroPie and now it seems the analog function isn't working anymore.

CCH3900

That solved the problem, thank you. ~~but now I'm getting a no BIOS found error and instead of giving me the RGUI it uses the XMB instead.~~ But I fixed the BOTH issues.

Aengeon

The opt/retropie/configs/all and opt/retropie/configs/psx retroarch.cfg files for me both have input_libretro_device_p1 = "1" not really understanding the fix, Could you explain in more detail please? I'm not the greatest with computers.

After going through all the PSX RetroArch settings I figured out my problem. To change the controller to Analog you used to go to Quick Menu>Controls and set User 1 Device Type to RetroPad w/Analog. After the update, you put that back as Retropad (without the analog) as default, go to Quick Menu>Options and change Pad 1 Type to Dualshock there. Maybe this will help someone with that problem in the future.
