Dude, thanks so much! I’m excited to try that out. Apparently, it’s just the space bar.

Zoot,
Thanks for posting your config. I’ve been having trouble with my d-pad not working. There’s two types of direction configurations in your file. I’m not familiar with the controller you’re using, but does it have a d-pad in addition to two sets of analog joy stick direction thingies? I’m just wondering if that’s what the three types of direction statements in your config means, since I don’t have those. In its place I have something like

“input_player1_down_btn = h0down”

input_player1_up_axis = -5
input_player1_down_axis = +5
input_player1_left_axis = -4
input_player1_right_axis = +4

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 = -2

Looking at your config, you don’t have any “input_player1_down_btn” parameters. And comparing yours to mine, I don’t have any “up_axis” or “x_plus_axis” type parameters. Where did you get those parameters in the first place? When I run the controller configuration program, it autogenerationes the /all/retroarch.cfg, and only generates the “down_btn” or “up_btn” parameters, none of your “up_axis” and “x-plus_axis” type parameters.

bump? I’ve scoured the internets. Still couldn’t fine it. The emulation menu exists in PSX and SNES, but that’s only on the windows version of the emulators where you have access to menus. Not sure how to do it in this case.

Hey, I have no help for you. But I had kind of the opposite problem. One controller was controlling both player1 and player2 on mine at one point. Weird. I’m struggling with getting controllers to work right, but not having much luck.

I think I’m having the same issue as you, jayce.

I’ve tried going through the controller configuration a few times. I got the “script error” before both when only RetroArch was checked, but also when others are checked.

If I only check the RetroArch option, I can go through the complete configuration and save it and test it. But it only kind of works in-game. In a couple games, the A, B, X, Y buttons work, but not the direction pad. But the direction pads work when navigating the Emulatorstation menu, for example, I’m using the direction pads to select which game to start. Once the game starts, the direction pad doesn’t register.

I’m using Logitech Cordless rumble pad 2, but I have another generic brand coreless controller and a similar thing happens.

On my RPi, I’m using the latest (as of last night) SD card image.

I’m not sure if this helps, but it seems this exact some question has been posed several times before:

No luck getting any controllers to work with emulators.

Controller not working. Help?

I don’t see any straight forward solutions in those posts. Some of the suggestions I just don’t understand – like “You need to use retroarch-joystick and put its output into ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg”

Hoping for some responses that would clarify this.
