DualShock 4 not working in PS1 Games

[RAC]

I’m having some trouble getting RetroArch to recognise my DualShock 4. The analog sticks work fine in EmulationStation, but not in any analog compatible PlayStation game. I read the guide (link below) but the options suggested don’t appear.

How to replicate the problem:

1. Connect DualShock 4 via USB
2. Configure in EmulationStation
3. Launch analog compatible PS1 game (tested with Alien Resurrection, Need for Speed 3 and Metal Gear Solid).
4. Launch RetroArch menu
5. Go to Controls > Port 1 Controls > Device Type

Expected Result:

According to the guide, the available options should be “standard” and “DualShock”.

Actual Result:

Actual options are “None”, “RetroPad” and “RetroPad w/ Analog”... and none of these options allow my analog sticks to work in a PS1 game.

Ok, after some more digging around in the menu, it’s just a simple error in the documentation.

The correct path is: Quick Menu > Options > Pad # Type
