Controller Configuration Problems Logitech Dual Action

[regulus]

Hello,

I am attempting to configure a Logitech dual action game pad using the retroarch-joyconfig utility in a RetroPie v2.2 system. Everything appears to go smoothly in the configuration process. However, when I play a game nothing appears mapped correctly. The up and down buttons map to start and select. The 1 and 2 buttons map to D-Left and D-Right. Am I not writing to the correct retroarch.cfg file location? I believe the retroarch.cfg that came with the disk image is in the /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/ directory.

Hi all,

I am experiencing the same thing.

You can manually edit the config via ftp. It’s in /opt/ somewhere (am not at my system currently).

I just can’t figure out the buttons :-S

what is the file ?

The config file for ALL Retroarch emulators is here:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

To run the controller config from the command line, input the following:

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
 cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
 sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

I will be testing this myself soon.

Yep, that worked for me. I had to make one change:

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
 cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
 sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j <strong>0</strong> >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

The number in bold is the id of the gamepad. 0 is the first gamepad attached. Not sure if the keyboard counts as a second gamepad.

After doing this you’ll still want to edit the file over FTP because it doesn’t let you define buttons to exit the emulator!

Sorry, here’s that revised script again, outside CODE tags because it displays wrong.

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Don’t forget to add this to your config afterwards:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “7”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_save_state_btn = “4”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”
input_load_state_btn = “5”

On my controller this adds the following inputs:
Exit Emulator: Select + Start
Save State: Select + L1
Load State: Select + R1

This did not work for me. The script works, but when I play a game the buttons are still mapped incorrectly. I will see if I can manually edit the retroarch.cfg file instead.

try:

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

and

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

It turns out the retroarch.cfg file included two sets of button assignments and RetroArch was using the first. I manually deleted the first set of assignments and now everything works like it should.
