      Im having setup issues with Raspberry Pi Compatible Wireless Gamepad / Controller when using retropi
      I have retro pi running,I have roms installed
      Cant seem to set up for use with certain N64 games see below

      Item I’m trying to configure
      https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-compatible-wireless-gamepad-controller?variant=38135423121

      When I configure game pad from configure input screen
      The left analog up, down, left and right says already taken if i hold against the setting it then says not defined
      The same goes for the right analog
      Also what should the hotkey be set to
      There is no setup instructions in the box

      And from my other post

      legend oz Zelda starts but can’t get past name screen, Wayne Gretzky 3D hockey won’t run, wwf no mercy runs and gets stuck in menu, super mario 64 keys a + b work but MARIO won’t move

        That indicates the analog sticks might emit the same input data as the D-Pad. I notice there's an Analog button on the controller - what is the function of it ?

        You can exit EmulationStation (via the menu or just pressing F4) and test the gamepad's buttons with the jstest command by running

        jstest /dev/input/js0
        

        and pushing the buttons and operating the analog sticks - see if the analog sticks are overlapping with other buttons/D-Pad. Exit the test by pressing Ctrl+C.

        Also what should the hotkey be set to

        You can leave it as default - don't set one and you'll be asked to use Select - or try to use the raspberry button at the top.
