      I've also noticed that I can't do anything after I go into the Neogeo menu after loading a game. I was going to see if I could configure the controller in there, but I load the quick menu and I can't move around in it or get out of it except by resetting the raspberry pi.

      Pi Model or other hardware: 4 (with 4gb ram)
Power Supply used: PSU that came with canakit for raspberry pi 4
RetroPie Version Used: 4.8
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: usb keyboard, logitech mouse dongle
Controller used: xbox one controller (times 2)
Error messages received: (no messages, just controls don't work)
Verbose log (if relevant):
Guide used: no guide
File: 
Emulator: neogeo
Attachment of config files:  (configs) https://pastebin.com/bwgDNmgR
How to replicate the problem:  install retropie, load up metalslug 1 (or 2) and try to play after configuring an xbox one controller in emulation station.

          @slooker the log looks okay, I think; it doesn't show any remaps in use, or any obvious errors that I can see. Can we see your neogeo/retroarch.cfg?

          /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg

            It was in the original pastebin

            # Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if
placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/"


#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

              @slooker oh sorry I didn't realize that was a different link than the log. That looks normal too. As does your global config. I'm not sure what else to look for; hopefully someone else can pick this up and get you sorted.

                  Right trigger for example is jump when I push it down, and shoot when I release it. Obviously that's not ideal. :)

                  For some reason, your gamepad is detected as keyboard (?):

                  [INFO] [udev]: Keyboard #0: "HOLDCHIP USB Gaming Keyboard" (/dev/input/event4).

                  Are you using a genuine Xbox One controller or is it a clone/3rd party controller ? Is it detected as gamepad on a PC or does it appear as a keyboard also ?

                    @mitu It's a genuine xbox one controller that works as a controller on my PC. I've got two of them connected, and they both work fine on PC?

                      Ok, it's also detected as a controller. I guess the driver adds an extra key input so that's why is detected with a keyboard input.

                      You can remap the buttons via the Core input remapping menu in RetroArch and re-arrange the buttons as you want.

                      If the controllers are connected via Bluetooth, I'd also recommend installing the xpadneo driver (it's included in RetroPie-Setup, you just need to install it from the drivers section). You may have to re-pair the controller and re-configure it in EmulationStation.

                        @mitu As soon as I open the Quick menu in a neogeo game, I can't move around the menu at all. I can't exit the menu with the controller OR keyboard. I usually end up having to ssh in and reboot. I'll try adding the xpadneo driver to see if that helps.

                          @mitu Looks like I already have xpadneo (Installed - via source). Is there something else I should be doing?

                            Unplug the keyboard ?

                              I unplugged the keyboard and completely rebooted. I still have weird controls and I can't move anything after opening up the quick menu. Here's my verbose log of this run: https://pastebin.com/u2hepqCb

                                I'm not sure why the quick menu doesn't work - just for Neogeo games.

                                FBneo added some input macros bound to L1/R2 and L2/R2, so that may explain why the triggers have actions associated. They can be disabled from the Controls sub-menu from RetroArch's quick menu, but if that's not working for you, I guess you can't change it.

                                If you use only the keyboard, are you able to open (F1) and operate the quick menu ? Can you post the controller profile - there should be a .cfg file from /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads named Xbox Wireless Controller.

                                  @mitu After plugging the keyboard back in and restarting emulation station, F1 does nothing at all when I push it on the keyboard.

                                  Here's my xbox wireless config though:

                                    So I was actually wrong about being able to navigate the quick menu in other systems.

                                    I can't navigate the quick menu in ANY system using the keyboard or controller.

                                    I've just never needed to in another system because the buttons work the way I expect them to. :/

                                      Apparently the right and left bumper lets me move (3 or 4 lines at a time...) through the quick menu. So I can navigate the quick menu, just not with any precision. :)

                                        Apparently after waiting ~5 seconds, the bumpers work, then everything works, as far as navigating the quick menu. Now I just have to figure out how to reset the controls for neogeo....

                                          @slooker your controllers are bluetooth, right ? can you plug them on usb, run lsusb and post the output ?
