      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.

      More details:

      Pi Model or other hardware: Pi 4 B
      Power Supply used: Official Power Supply for Pi 4
      RetroPie Version Used 4.7.1:
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website

        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
