Ok, so I upgraded to 2.5 of the emulator, and it mostly fixed my first issue- now the two generic N64 USB controllers work (except for the analogue joystick) my retroarch.cfg got corrupted

and the second issue was due to the wrong type of “quotes”

– How can I get the analogue controls working? When I run the

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Here is what was visible on the screen when I was programming the controller

Up D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 1, Value -20945
Down D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 1, Value 23002
Left D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 0, Value -20174
Right D-pad
Joyaxis moved: Axis 0, Value 22745

and here is what was added on
