      I'm using retropie with my raspberry pi 4 and 8Bitdo zero 2. The controller works on emulationstation but not inside games (same problem using a keyboard). I tried to change the retroarch configuration files, but I've only managed to get the start key to work changing 'udev' to 'sdl2'.
      Any solution?

        Please add more details about your setup, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

        Is the controller is working in ES, it should work similarly in RetroArch, there's no need to change the input driver. Is the firmware updated on the controller ?

          I run retropie on a docker container.
          In the following video you can see that it's not a problem with Docker because I have the controller comnected to my Raspberry Pi (Bluetooth) and it works on Emulationstation. When I launch a room (Dr Mario for example) it doesn't work.

            That's not a supported nor tested configuration. Try it without docker and see if you have the same issue - if not, then you know who to blame.

              I wanted to play in a docker container because I can't install Retropie on Debian 11, and I didn't want to buy another sd card only for testing , but It seems it will be the best way...
              Thanks for your support, best regards 🤗
