Help setting up keys on Logitech gamepads

[wood12]

Hello,

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2
RetroPie 4.8

I have a problem setting up the keys on the Logitech gamepads (F310 and F710). I launch the Lost Vikings game on Genesis, and half the keys do not work (as if they were not set in the emulator). I got into the control settings of the emulator and started trying different key combinations to pick up ... but this did not work. How to properly configure the keys for emulators, maybe the settings are buried somewhere deeper !? In the emulation station itself, the gamepads behave well and work as I set them up at the first start. Below I will post a couple of photos with the config that I found:


Help me please!

input_a_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"

I see this is for the F310 -- are they the same in your 710 cfg? In mine (F710) these are reversed, a=1 and b=0.

When you mapped your controller, when it asked you for A button did you press "Logitech A (south)" or "Nintendo A (east)"?

Lost Vikings (October 1995 version) works for me in lr-genesis-plus-gx using correct ("Nintendo") button mapping.

I also notice you're on an older version of RetroArch, at 1.8.8 while we are currently using 1.10.0, if just fixing your controller map doesn't work.

The "auto # (n/a)" labels in the first pic can be made more useful if you add "button label" info to your autoconfig file (I think recent versions might add these labels automatically?):

...

## Input Descriptors
input_a_btn_label = "(B)Red"
input_b_btn_label = "(A)Green"
input_x_btn_label = "(Y)Yellow"
input_y_btn_label = "(X)Blue"

input_start_btn_label = "Start"
input_select_btn_label = "Back"

input_l_btn_label = "LB"
input_r_btn_label = "RB"
input_l2_axis_label = "LT"
input_r2_axis_label = "RT"

input_l3_btn_label = "L-Thumb"
input_r3_btn_label = "R-Thumb"

input_left_btn_label = "D-Pad Left"
input_right_btn_label = "D-Pad Right"
input_up_btn_label = "D-Pad Up"
input_down_btn_label = "D-Pad Down"

input_l_x_minus_axis_label = "L-Analog Left"
input_l_x_plus_axis_label = "L-Analog Right"
input_l_y_minus_axis_label = "L-Analog Up"
input_l_y_plus_axis_label = "L-Analog Down"

input_r_x_minus_axis_label = "R-Analog Left"
input_r_x_plus_axis_label = "R-Analog Right"
input_r_y_minus_axis_label = "R-Analog Up"
input_r_y_plus_axis_label = "R-Analog Down"

Do you have issues with others games? I have the same controllers but no issues so far.

Try to reset and reconfigure the controllers:
RetroPie > RetroPie Setup > Configuration/tools > emulationstation > Clear/Reset ES input. Then restart and configure again the controllers.

Updated RetroArch to the latest version 1.12.0
Reconfigured gamepad F310
Downloaded another rom game The Lost Vikings
heh, didn't help...(

Not all keys work in the game, for example, switching between heroes.(
Jump, ram while running, start, up, down, right, left - it works.

What are you using to switch heroes? In the Genesis version it's done with hold Start and press D-pad left/right.

@sleve_mcdichael
I pressed all the keys on the gamepad to search for switching between heroes, but I did not find it ...

[sleve_mcdichael]

@wood12 did you press start and D-pad at the same time?

@sleve_mcdichael
I've tried every button combination...
did not find the desired combination of buttons!
