      Reset your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg to default - copy the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist file over - and then try again. Don't use 'Save Configuration' or 'Save config on exit' for now.

        @mitu Do I just copy and paste the retroarch.cfg.rp-dist onto the retroarch.cfg file? And how do I turn off the Save Configuration setting?

          @Efriim Yes I do and here is the file:

          input_device = "Xbox Wireless Controller"
          input_driver = "udev"
          input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3"
          input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
          input_l_btn = "6"
          input_load_state_btn = "6"
          input_start_btn = "11"
          input_exit_emulator_btn = "11"
          input_r_y_minus_axis = "-3"
          input_down_btn = "h0down"
          input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
          input_r_btn = "7"
          input_save_state_btn = "7"
          input_right_btn = "h0right"
          input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
          input_select_btn = "15"
          input_left_btn = "h0left"
          input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
          input_l2_axis = "-5"
          input_l3_btn = "13"
          input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
          input_up_btn = "h0up"
          input_a_btn = "0"
          input_b_btn = "1"
          input_reset_btn = "1"
          input_enable_hotkey_btn = "11"
          input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
          input_r2_axis = "-4"
          input_r3_btn = "14"
          input_x_btn = "3"

            Looks normal except I have never seen a h0 for d-pad. Why do they call it hat anyways?

            In the link it says that the enhanced re-transmission mode interrupts connection to... RetroPie. Though I thought since you are connected maybe this is outdated.

            If you could connect to SSH or Command line type this to check its status
            cat /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm

            and then try this
            sudo bash -c 'echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm'

            the parameter will not be saved upon reboot.
            if you dont want to set up ssh you could edit that line into \configs\all\autostart.sh

              @Efriim It responded with Y which I assume means it is disabled. So this isn't the problem.

                @DavidB21 Remove the .cfg file, then rename the other and remove the .rp-dist suffix. Save on Exit is not enabled by default in RetroPie and can leave to un-desirable effects - like controllers not working.
                Just reset the config file, then boot up a game to see if the controller is responding.

                  @mitu That didn't work. I booted up the game and everything was the same as it was before.

                    @DavidB21 Can you try another system and ROM besides NES ?
                    If that doesn't work, then try installing the xpadneo driver from https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo:

                    1. exit Emulationstation with F4
                    2. run git clone https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo
                    3. run cd xpadneo
                    4. run sudo ./install.sh
                    5. reboot, then reset your input configuration and re-configure the gamepad again in Emulationstation.

                      A difference I could see in the retroarch config is the device index for player 1 2 3 and 4 are all 0, where mine is 0, 1, 2, 3.
                      input_player2_joypad_index = "0"
                      this should still work for player 1 though.

                      Do you have the xboxdrv package installed, and have you configured it or enabled it. I don't know much about this package, it might not be necessary try disabling it.

                          @mitu I got an error when running the install.sh

                          * replacing version string if necessary
                          * copying module into /usr/src

                            sudo apt-get install dkms
                            dynamic kernel module support or something other.

                                @mitu The xpadneo driver worked but there are still some issues with the nes emulator. The xbox controller worked the first time I booted up the nes emulator after installing xpadneo, but then never worked after that. It worked with other emulators, but not with the nes one.

                                  @DavidB21 delete the retroarch.cfg file in the nes config folder and then reinstall retroarch.

                                    @DavidB21 Also the hotkey to leave the game doesn't work on the nes emulator either.
