XBox controller config problems

[writeson]

Hi all,

I’m running the RetroPie 2.3 project from downloaded binaries, which works well, accept for one thing. I’ve got XBox 360 wireless controllers hooked up to the Raspberry Pi, which looks good, I can see all the buttons when I run jstest. My problem is that in game the save/restore buttons are mapped to the “B” and “Y” buttons and nothing I do the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file seems to change that (or anything for that matter!).

Here’s the button configuration part of my configuration file:

input_player1_joypad_index = “0”
input_player1_b_btn = “1”
input_player1_y_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “10”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_btn = “h0up”
input_player1_down_btn = “h0down”
input_player1_left_btn = “h0left”
input_player1_right_btn = “h0right”
input_player1_a_btn = “0”
input_player1_x_btn = “2”
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_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = “-3”

input_player1_joypad_index = “1”
input_player1_b_btn = “1”
input_player1_y_btn = “3”
input_player1_select_btn = “10”
input_player1_start_btn = “9”
input_player1_up_btn = “h0up”
input_player1_down_btn = “h0down”
input_player1_left_btn = “h0left”
input_player1_right_btn = “h0right”
input_player1_a_btn = “0”
input_player1_x_btn = “2”
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_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = “-3″

input_enable_hotkey_btn=”10″
input_exit_emulator_btn=”8″
input_save_state_btn=”6″
input_load_state_btn=”7”

If anyone has any ideas, hints, pointers, obvious stuff I’ve missed, please let me know, I’m trying to get this done by Christmas!

Thanks in advance,
Doug

Starting from obvious – you are sure that these settings work (ie changing button setup here changes how it works)? I got save/load set up in SNES (snes9x) folder cfg file and it works fine.

Hi sand king,

Actually, I’m not sure at all. No edits to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg seem to do anything. I thought this file was the basis of all controller configuration (buttons are recognized in all emulators), and there is no controller configuration in the emulator specific retroarch.cfg files.
