[quote=8902]Sounds like a localisation issue.
In bash execute sudo raspi-config
then option 4 Internationalisation Options
Check your language and keyboard layout settings there.

Thanks! Didn’t find my keyboard in the list (though it is in the approved list on the Raspberry Pi site) but found something similar and that seems to be working so far.

[quote=8902]use jtest /dev/input/js0 to check that the buttons and axis are working. (ctrl+c to exit)

That will also give you the button numbers so you can then edit config files for each emulator and assign them.[/quote]

Thanks. I think you meant jstest /dev/input/js0 though. Anyway, went through all that (had some trouble figuring out how to do the axis settings though–had to do a bit of guesswork and online searches before I finally figured that out) and the controller is working now. (I have not yet hooked the original Atari controllers up and tested those with jstest.)

I am using this controller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002B9XB0E/

Seems to work fine except the “Turbo” and “Clear” buttons don’t register as doing anything, not even with jstest.

Also, I am curious what I need to map to the controller so that I can run the system without using a keyboard. As it is now, I can select an emulator from EmulationStation and run a game but, once in a game, I cannot quit that game and go back to EmulationStation nor can I switch to another game in the same emulator.
