        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 ?

          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.

                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.

                    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.

                      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.
