need help controller button issue

[pattaboy]

Hey Guys,

Just bought a raspberry pi2 and installed retropie on it.
installed a few roms and it works perfectly.
then I bought two snes usb controllers and installed them via this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0FT4i2CQVI

the controllers work but whenever I press X on the controller
it will go left.
it just looks like my x button is mapped on to the left d-pad however I can’t find the problem in any of the config files. not the USBgamepad.cfg and not the retroarch.cfg in the /all folder.

I have exactly the same controller as in the video so I thought I needed the same settings as expained. both controllers work and both register is player1 and player2.

Can somebody please help me?

EDIT: just noticed when pressing A on the controller it will respond like A+dpad down

this is the config file from: /opt/retropie/configs/all

Try running sudo ~/RetroPie_Setup/retropie_setup.sh and selecting “Register RetroArch controller”

This is really just an automated way to run retroarch-joyconfig (which is located in the retroarch binaries folder) and add the results to the retroarch config. So if you’re comfortable with it, you can run this yourself to see the way the buttons on your gamepad are mapped

Does this happen in emulation station as well or is it only in certain emulators such as SNES (2 player with pocketnes has issues and made it seem like my controllers were having problems but it was just a bug in the emulator)? Try testing to see if just the retroarch autoconfig files work without your custom additions to the retroarch.cfg (so change the input_autodetect_enable from false to true and comment out the joypad buttons you added) and see if that changes anything. Also be sure to only have one controller plugged in when running retroarch config (and be sure to make sure no buttons are sticking before configuration). Let me know what you come up with. I can also give you my working configs when I have access to them later if nothing else works for you.

Thanks a lot!
Weird. I did this before and then the player2 controller wouldn’t work.
but now it works thanks a lot!

I left the hotkey untagged so that I can return to emulationstation without the use of a keyboard.. PERFECT..
