Joysticks and Directionnal pad doesn't work on ES

[reaver63]

Hello guys, i followed a lot of tutorial, did 2 times the source installation (16-20hours) and i still got a big problem… really boring
I need your help, My xbox 360 controller works properly in emulationstation menu, but when i’m in a game, only A B X Y are working, the joysticks and directionnal pad doesn’t work. the Led 1 is on, i don’t know what to do even with searching on google for a lot of time.
I don’t have the folders like configs & retroarch.cfg (on winscp) but i got bios, and roms only.
I’m really bored about that : / Help me please :(

for example in megaman x i can jump, i can shoot, but i can’t move
i tested it on all my games, even with keyboard unplugged

Keyboard works for everything
but wired Xbox360 doesn’t work for moves

help me please :'(

Hi, in terminal run this:

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

If -j 0 doesn’t work try -j 1

i’m running (for the third time) a source install, but i saw another problem like mine on this forum, i’m gonna try it, and if it doesn’t work, i’m gonna try yours.
But could you explain “why” this is not working?
is it “normal” to don’t have the folders in winscp?

The config location has changed in RetroPie 2.x, now located in /opt/retropie/configs/

Its working but… i don’t understand wtf is happening, it seem controls are assigned by more than 1 button, for example, megaman is jumping and shooting, running and start etc…

i don’t understand AT ALL the prompt, it says “B button (Down)” O_o i only got 1 B button,

does somebody can give me his retroarch.cfg for the controls? that’s a really big mess to configure that thing… U_U

After a lot of rage, and searching on the internet, i’m pretty close!
All the controls were buggy (for example the button B was moving left & down my character)

So here is the script, if somebody got the same problem one day

But i got a really last small problem
On all my games, some controls are reversed

For example: the B button is for shoot in megaman X, in a normal case, it would be the X button, same for the dash, i’m dashing with X, in a normal case, it’s B

Does somebody can help me to change theses controls or give me a link with a mapping plan for the controller?

input_player1_joypad_index = "0"
input_player1_a_btn = "0"
input_player1_b_btn = "1"
input_player1_x_btn = "2"
input_player1_y_btn = "3"
input_player1_l_btn = "4"
input_player1_r_btn = "5"
input_player1_l2_btn = "6"
input_player1_r2_btn = "7"
input_player1_l3_btn = "11"
input_player1_r3_btn = "12"
input_player1_start_btn = "9"
input_player1_select_btn = "8"
input_player1_left_btn = "h0left"
input_player1_up_btn = "h0up"
input_player1_right_btn = "h0right"
input_player1_down_btn = "h0down"
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = "+3"
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = "-3"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "11"
input_exit_emulator = "3"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "11"
input_save_state = "0"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "11"
input_load_state = "2"

By the way, thank you really much for the help.
