NES pad set up

bpyazel

Hello,
I've been trying to get Retropie working on a Raspberry pie 3 for a while now. I've installed the retropie image on a SDcard and went through the initial set up of configuring my controller. My controller works in the UI, but doesn't work when I launch any NES games. The keyboard works, but I can't even locate what the default commands are anywhere so I end up having to unplug the pi to exit. I'm not a linux guru, but I've spent hours reading wikis and and other posts and I haven't found anything that works. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using an original NES controller connected to this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GA43IN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That topic is hardly vague - it is very specific about the information you should provide when posting - which you didn't do (eg version of retropie)

how does the adapter map the controller ? Does it show up as a keyboard or a joypad ?

which nes emulator are you using ? (check via runcommand - see the wiki)

If you updated retropie-setup the version is shown in the main menu of retropie-setup

please post the contents of /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg any files in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

and the output of this (use SSH to paste it into a terminal)

for dev in /dev/input/js*; do udevadm info --name=$dev; done
