      Hi,

      I’ve just wired in my controlblock and I’m having issues with the directional buttons.

      When in emulationstation, the right, left, up & down buttons don’t respond, or show up when trying to configure buttons.

      I ran jtest and when I press right, left, up & down it shows 32767 and -32767 for right, left and up, down respectively, and doesn’t show as a button being connected.

      Have I configured something wrong here?

      Thanks

        Hi! Which controller type do you have configured within the ControlBlock configuration? Which controller type are you using? Can you maybe provide a picture of your hardware setup? Often, these observations can be traced back to some connectivity issues, but it is hard to guess without further information.

          @petrockblog apologies, I got this working some time ago, and honestly I can’t remember what I did.

          It’s configured as arcade controllers however.
