PS1 not seeing any controllers

xpz

@BuZz I updated using the Retropie Setup Menu in Retropie. Now I have another problem, probably related to this. Snes9x gave me the message "Saved new config to retroarch.cfg" and then the controller stopped working. It seem like some of the emu cores are ignoring then overwriting the Retroarch configs.

I have not made any changes whatsoever in the SNES config after a fresh install of Retropie 4.0.

@xpz runcommand overwrites on exit moving the include to the end. If it's still breaking it sounds like you don't have an updated system or the inifuncs didn't update. I'll give you a couple of lines to type when I'm in front of PC.

BuZz

Or the config had been damaged already before you updated.

@xpz Please can you give me the output of the following (paste it into the terminal via ssh)

for file in /opt/retropie/lib/inifuncs.sh ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/inifuncs.sh; do ls -la $file; md5sum $file; grep -A8 "re-add" $file; done

@BuZz A big thank you for all help! I made a complete update of the Retropie Setup Script plus all the binaries and now the problem seem to have disappeared. Do you still want me to run your script?

BuZz

Might as well thanks, but I suspect everything will be fine. The only case I could think of that the update hadn't worked was

doing a manual git pull which would not have triggered the required change (copying updated inifuncs.sh to /opt/retropie/funcs).
a case where the new inifuncs.sh didn't get copied because the date of the existing one had been changed, which could happen I suppose if the file had been edited recently.

This fix worked PERFECTLY. Thank you to all the experts
