      Hey guys, so I launch crazy taxi and it boots up fine, but if I use my controller it just types letters and symbols in the bottom left. Please help!

        @Maalik_ standalone reicast or lr-flycast? If standalone did you run the controller configuration in the retropie setup menu / manage packages under the reicast emulator?

          @BJRetro standalone and yes, I did run it. It seems to be typing in a terminal or something i can only see it on the black bars on either side of the game, if i type enough the letters and stuff will go behind the game.

            @Maalik_ I had that before sometimes but not where my controller didn’t work to actually play the game; however there have been a couple recent threads on people having control people having control problems with reicast. Seems there are some issues with the more recent version than I have.

                @BJRetro I just read in that post that I need a controller with an analog stick, I'm using an arcade which has sticks but it acts as a keyboard and the different directions are different numpad keys on the stick.

                  @Maalik_ I see. I don’t know what happened that made reicast so screwed up recently. I was fortunate because when I built my bartop reicast was working the best it had and then we got access to lr-reicast (now Lr-flycast) and that was working well on the pi and even gave us access to some Naomi and atomiswave games and then all of a sudden it is like both projects fell off a cliff with a ton of users reporting various bugs. Sorry wish I could be more help.
