      I was just curious if anybody else had run into this as I can't figure out why it's happening. I have a Wii U Pro Controller that works great for RetroPie but if I let it idle on the main menu or rom selection screens it will randomly after a random interval of time start selecting things, and will usually launch a random game. Any clues what might be causing this?

        @Hubz It's a known issue on a few controllers, yours and the iBuffalo SNES seem to suffer the most.(perhaps because they are commonly used with RetroPie). It seems to be a Pi or Raspbian issue rather tban specifically a RetroPie issue. When I test my iBuffalo SNES in terminal using jstest random inputs are registered there. Normally d-pad inputs. No-one knows the cause, so no known fix. At this time.
