Hi all, firstly, and again, thank you to the developer for making RetroPie exist. I have had an interesting time with my project “Apple Piie” (see my other thread) and almost everything is working now as it should, with a few exceptions.

I have set up the wireless Xbox 360 controllers successfully, and both of them register in the Input Configuration, and I can configure every button correctly on Player 1 & 2, and they test perfectly in the config program.

However for some emulators, they do not control gameplay, with a few exceptions. I have tried:

Atari 800 – They won’t control anything (tried with Asteroids for Atari 400)
Apple //e – Won’t control anything
ZX Spectrum – Won’t control anything

EmulationStation menus – controls everything, can swipe left and right, menu, select
Input Config tests – works beautifully
Commodore 64, MAME4All, also work

To get the above to work I had to do some config work in each individual emulator’s settings, to map the joysticks to the same mapping that I thought I had done in Input Config. I’d politely recommend to the developer that this be automatic in future, if at all possible, otherwise there seems little need for Input Config if it is not in fact configuring any of the emulators.

So basically, half the emulators that recognize and utilize joysticks on Mac/PC, do not recognize joysticks on Raspberry Pi with RetroPie, even after trying to individually configure said emulators.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
