I wanted to update this as resolved after reading some other posts (apparently controllers are a big issue!) and share how I fixed it.

I manually accessed my /all/ retroarch.cfg file and scrolled all the way down until I found my inputs. For one reason or another, when I autoconfig’d my BuffaloPad it pasted a new set of controller inputs on the end of the original one everytime I used auto config so there was like 20-30 repeated versions of however I put my inputs in. So I had to delete like 200 lines of controller inputs and manually set mine to the correct inputs and added exit/savestate shortcuts.

Everything worked! No more multi-mapped buttons!

Do I have to use Sudo chown everytime I boot?

I had used that before but not today, it might be the difference and honestly don’t know what the sudo chown command actually does.

I’m new I this website/Linux/rpi and I see a lot of ‘random’ command line type stuff posted. Knowing the purpose of the command might give me some context and help me in the future.

For some reSon my mobile wot display wide enough to see your entire directory but that looks right. The directory from floobz controller config post with attached files

When I try and modify my .cfg I get an access denied message and this happened out of the blue. I have never seen the message before today even when modifying .cfg files before.

UPDATE: alright so I’ve figured almost everything out. I can manually config the controller modifying the master config file (/all) or individually. I got the resolution issue resolved as well.

My only problem is when I configure the controller either manually modifying the config.txt or having it ask me the inputs, the mapping is completely messed up. Start/select move, left arrow jumps and shoots, etc. as if buttons are double mapped and not mapped correctly.

I looked at someone’s configuration file for iBuffalo and copied it exactly which helped but a lot of stuff is still off or double mapping.

I also plugged in a Logitech dual stick controller and experienced essentially the same issues

Buttons aren’t mapping correctly. Please help!
