      There is a recent post for this issue, but there was no resolution. I think i have a general idea on how to fix this issue i just need some additional assistance please.

      Basically the issue specifically with the 8bitdo sn30 pro, it does not see the d-pad at all, i attempted to re-configure in retropie, I also attempted in the menu for ppsspp. (it does work for my buffalo SNES PAD)

      What i think needs to be done is the file for the gamecontrollerdb.txt needs to be adjusted.

      I am currently using WinSCP, and it also states i don't have admin rights to adjust this file, I have not had that happen before, I can say i am using the default login user pi password default.

      When i configure the d-pad within retropie it reads the directions as HAT 0 UP, HAT 0 DOWN, HAT 0 LEFT, HAT 0 RIGHT.

      05000000c82d00000161000000010000,8Bitdo SN30 Pro,platform:Linux,a:b1,b:b0,x:b4,y:b3,back:b10,guide:b2,start:b11,leftstick:b13,rightstick:b14,leftshoulder:b6,rightshoulder:b7,dpup:h0.1,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,lefttrigger:a5,righttrigger:a4,

      I think this the line i need to edit, what would i put for dpup? HAT 0 UP?

        So i was messing with this a bit more to get an idea of what is going on, the mappings are all crazy within the ppsspp application.

        A = O PAD 1 B2
        B = X PAD 1 B3
        Y = Square PAD 1 B6
        X = Triangle PAD 1 B4
        Start = PAD 1 Thumb L
        Select = PAD 1 Back
        L = PAD 1 B5
        R = PAD 1 Thumb L

          So i figured out the solution. I was using the ppsspp emulator, and not the lr-ppsspp emulator. Once i used the correct one the issue has been resolved.

          I feel dumb.

            That's more like a workaround, since lr-ppsspp doesn't use the same input configuration as the standalone ppsspp.

            What you could try is get the latest gamecontrollerdb.txt and copy it to /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/assets/, then see if your controller behaves better.

            Since the destination folder is not writeable by the pi user, copy the file to the roms folder first, then run, from the command line:

            sudo cp $HOME/RetroPie/roms/gamecontrollerdb.txt /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/assets/
