      RETRO PIE VERSION:

      ERROR MESSAGES: None

      Hi all-

      First post here and a total newb to all things Pi, so get ready for some hand holding..... Everything has been going well overall except for the issue of not being able to use my PS4 controller in game. It is connected via USB. It works fine to navigate menus, but once a ROM is selected, it will not work for any game on any emulator--currently have NES, SNES and PSX. I have a SNES USB controller that works fine on all games, all emulators.

      I am on a MAC and I am connected via WiFi to the Pi, so I am able to navigate through the BIOS, CONFIGS, ROMS and SPLASHSCREENS folders. But I really don't have a clue as to what to do from here.

      I'm more than happy to provide additional info--just not sure what else I need or where to find it.

      Many thanks,

      Bill
