        @robthedude81 can you imagine a patient going into a doctor that had been seeing him for ages with a worsening cancer and then finds the cure, then doctor calls to check up and he responds. Oh I found the cure to cancer. All sorted. Then hangs up.

        Not quite life or death, but other people would appreciate solutions to issues if you've found them. Though I'd be willing to bet it was user error in the first place and the answer is almost certainly already in the documentation.

          @herb_fargus Perhaps, I'm still scouring the forums looking.

            @enlikil this is likely the page with an answer: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/RetroArch-Configuration

              This is currently happening to me too. The SNES controller and joystick config works in emulation station but not within the games.

              I get the same message

                  @herb_fargus I agree and that is freaking annoying, just like a recent topic in which the guy simply deleted his post and said it was solved.

                    SOLVED: for those still having this issue. (This is not my original thread but I'm going to solve it)

                    One of my 4 controllers was mounted upside down. So when I would go to configure it. it was perfect, then I would go in a game and come out and it would be broke again, If I reconfigured the controllers they would repeat this behavior.. Someone mentioned it in another post to mount them all the same and it worked flawless. So if you have arcade controls i.e.: joystick and buttons and you can't hold a configure when you enter or exit games or menus. First Check to make sure ALL Joysticks are Aligned the same way. I had one in upside down and it would effect all 4 of them.

                        @x8xid82 The user is unlikely to notice it, since their profile shows the last login in October 2016 (I reflexively check that for old posts). But still a nice gesture. 🙂
