I don’t think it’s an issue with the roms at all, Have you registered the controller for retroarch?

if not go to the command screen (press F4 while in emulationstation) and do the following

1)Type “cd RretroPie-Setup” then hit enter

2)Type “sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

This will bring up a menu,
3)go down to “UPDATE retropie setup script” and hit enter, if you already did that before then skip this step

4)it should bring you back to the menu, if not just repeat steps 1-2, now go down to “SETUP” and hit enter

5)Now go down till you see something like “Register controller with RetroArch” (my wording may not be exact but it should be close enough) and hit enter

6) it will tell you to hit enter, do it, then it will tell you to hit enter again though on a black screen, make sure you have your controller ready, then hit enter and follow the prompts on screen, don’t worry if you don’t have enough buttons for all the comands, just let them “time out” and it will still save your config.

Now when all that is done, reboot your Pi and once in emulationstation press start and configure your controls, if everything is done right it should work now

What file exactly did you put these hotkeys in? they’re supposed to be in the retroarch.cfg file, also you don’t need the quotes (mine works fine without it) and make sure input_exit_emulator_btn is right below input_enable_hotkey_btn with no empty line in between

OK, so i gave up on the 360 gamepad, figured the one that works easiest on PC would work on the pi but that didn’t work out, after going through a few more USB controllers i had laying around i found that the best and easiest one is the Dualshock 4 (PS4 controller) my guess is that the RetroPie/RetroArch has an issue managing analog inputs since my PS3 controller didn’t work and only the face buttons worked for the 360, and also that the PS4 switched to a purely digital input system from the PS3’s analog.

All i had to do was boot it up while wired via USB, go through the RetroArch gamepad registration, and now everything works great (though be sure to just barely tap the triggers when registering with RetroArch, otherwise it’ll go a bit wonky and register it for more than one button really fast)

So i’d say use your PS4 controller if you have one, otherwise fond a simple gamepad that has little to no analog systems in it (a standard PC gamepad should do fine) to keep from going through all the hassle.

Still hope this issue gets solved though for the many others having the same issue
