Which files is that exactly? Because I have no idea about this stuff. This time it worked perfectly with my SNES controllers working without the need to go near the retroarch.cfg file. To fix it though I deleted all the automatically created config files and let it create a new one. Nothing seem to be working, the D-Pad still doesn’t work. I have also changed the /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/USB_Gamepad_.cfg with the text above. On the other hand, I have changed the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg with the text posted above. Though I have not changed (don’t know if it’s the correct one or even if I’m supposed to change that one) /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/retroarch.cfg it just says permission denied. I’ve tried what’s been written above, copy/pasted the files into my current files, but without any success. My D-Pad doesn’t work “in-game”, but it works in the menu etc.

(I have the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, with retropie v3.0 beta2 on it and I have these controllers – though that shouldnt matter since they work until I start a game, and I’ve tried a ton) I have also plugged the controllers in to a PC and they work fine there. I should probably tell you that this is a Pi 2 running the latest RetroPie build Version 3 Beta. I’ve tried reconfiguring the cfg file with just +1, -0, +1, -0 etc for the axis and have even added the input buttons for h0up and so on. I close out of the emulator and the D-pad starts working again. All the other buttons do, including the special configurations such as emulator quit, save state, load state etc. The confusing part is that once an Emulator loads and picks up the RetroArch configuration file of USBgamepad.cfg, the D-Pad does not work full stop. Using JStest and the joystick setup I can see the buttons are all working and register on both as the same results: I have run the Joystick setup and they are picked up there without issue also. They plug in and play beautifully in the menu system for EmulationStation once configured as new controllers. I’m starting to pull my hair out on this one! I bought two (let’s face it, knock off) USB SNES controllers off eBay.
