On July 30, 2025, the U.S. Executive Order “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment For All Countries” came into effect. This removes the previous duty exemption for low-value packages and introduces new procedural requirements that are still being defined by U.S. Customs and the United States Postal Service. In response, DHL has announced a temporary halt to standard postal parcel shipments into the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Dismiss

I have done a fresh image install of retropie 3.2 and configured my gamepad on initial boot onto EmulationStation. The gamepad works perfectly in EmulationStation, but as soon as I load an NES ROM the D-Pad does not work in game, but other buttons work as expected. I have tried removing the config file through SSH and rebuilding using the retropie_setup.sh script. No change.
I have tried multiple ROMs in multiple emulators, all have the same problem.
Config File:
input_device = “USB Gamepad ”
input_driver = “udev”
input_b_btn = “0”
input_select_btn = “8”
input_start_btn = “9”
input_up_axis = “-1”
input_down_axis = “+1”
input_left_axis = “-0”
input_right_axis = “+0”
input_a_btn = “1”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “9”
input_reset_btn = “0”
input_state_slot_increase_axis = “+0”
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = “-0”
