      I would like to see these files:

      • /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
      • /opt/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg
      • the files in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

      Can you paste their content in pastebin.com?

        @meleu will do. At work at the moment... probably a good 8 hours before I can get back to it :)

            I tested everything again today and NES is working great. The manual bind instructions you gave me for RGUI did the trick for mirrored controls and cannot replicate the issues I was having with Contra or Donkey Kong last night (IT'S WORKING!!).

            Thanks for the great response time and help!

            ...how do I mark topic as "solved?"

              @dawtyne10 edit the first post of this thread and put [solved] in the beginning of the title.
              putting a "solved" tag would be nice too.

                I having the exact same issue as described above. BI have retropie 4.3 running on a pie 3 with 2 genuine PS3 controllers connected via BT. Both controllers work flawlessly everywhere except the NES games. On every two player game (contra, blades of steel etc...) The Emu seems to see both controllers on loading, but the games themselves don't recognize the second controller. In fact when you start a one player game both controllers control player 1. I've done everything suggested above....controller order in the Libretro & NES Emu respectively, configured the inputs\binds in retroarch, and updated all of the core packages. These were great suggestions, but nothing has worked for me yet

                    I'm sorry for replying to an old thread I want to play NES Games and I have my RetroPie can connect with the controllers. There is no consistency sometimes works sometimes not working. What should be the problem, bad controllers because they are a little old or something with the Raspberry Pi is not ok?
