      Hey guys, I'm brand new to RetroPie and brand new here, so bear with me. I got a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and was using it just fine. I was playing games on SNES, Nintendo, Ports, Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, etc. Then, one time when I went to play, the gamepad wasn't working. I realized that some of the systems were saying "not configured." Sorry, at that time I didn't make a list of which ones were and weren't configured, but it was working for some and not for others. So, I read some stuff online and followed the instructions in this video:

      It helped, because the gamepad was once again configured for every system...except for SNES. I cannot seem to get it to work for that one! The weird thing is that I never changed any settings before this happened, it wasn't connected to the internet, etc. I'm using an SNES gamepad, by the way.

      Thanks for hearing me out. I appreciate any help, links, steps in the right direction, etc.

        I had a similar thing happen, but with 32x. I deleted the retropie config file for 32x, uninstalled the emulator from retripie set up, and uninstalled retro arch. Then I reinstalled retroarch and the emulator and all is well. You may have to reconfigure retroarch settings
