[SOLVED] 8bitdo ZERO Gamepad controls are mapped incorrectly

[Ladyslayer0160]

I have been trying to get my 8bitdo zero gamepad to work with Retropie 3.8.1. I am using a raspberry pi 2 b with a USB Bluetooth dongle. I mapped the controller using emulation station, and it works fine in emulation station, but when I try to use it with an emulator, the buttons don't work correctly. The d-pad is mapped correctly, but the start button registers as the b button and no other buttons do anything. I have tried many different emulators and systems, but none seem to work. I have also tried changing the controls from the retroarch GUI menu, but I can't get anything to work. I deleted and installed a fresh install of Retropie, but alas, the same problem. I tried it with a USB iBuffalo snes gamepad, and the controls work fine with that, so my guess is that retroarch is the problem.

Any help is appreciated.

@Ladyslayer0160 look at floobs post here:

Short answer is:
If it works in ES but not games, go into the bluetooth menu, change the hack setting, re-register the controller (although this step probably wont be needed), go back in to ES and re-add the controller to regenerate the controller file.

@Floob Where or what are the hack settings?

[Floob]

You can find this in the Bluetooth menu page with RetroPie Setup script.
You may need to select the option to update your script before you see the option.

@Floob What should I change in the settings?

[Floob]

Change the hack option, I assume it will be set to on, change it to off and add your controller in ES again.

I solved it by going into the configuration file and manually editing the button configurations. The Bluetooth hack option didn't change anything.
