iBuffalo USB Controller Works in Menus not in Games

[amoreau13]

Trying to setup a new iBuffalo USB 8 button controller. Runs through the standard emulation station setup just fine. I've also successfully used JSTEST to test out the controller and it passes the test. When I get into games the start button doesn't work so you cannot start a game and cannot exit a game. When loading the game I get the little yellow message and it says the controller is not configured. I've scoured the web for answers and haven't come up with anything.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi3 and the latest version of Retropie. I have a Logitech F310 controller that works just fine with the system. No issues at all with the start button.

Any suggestions as to what I can try? I've tried reprogramming the controller several times using emulation station.

@amoreau13 I have one and it works. You really need to say what emulators and games you are experiencing this with as per the link along the top.

Adding some info to request:

1. Raspberry Pi 3
2. Retropie 4.1 downloaded from Retropie web site
3. Experiencing controller issue with stock emulators in Retropie - Sega Genesis games and NES games tested so far - select and start buttons do not work.
4. Used JSTEST to make sure I had the button numbers correct on the controller in the config file.
5. Controller is iBuffalo USB SNES controller
