Reply To: Problem Setting Up Controller

[steveowl]

Still have not managed to sort this problem out.

Since my last post I have purchased a wifi dongle to make things easier.

Here is where I am at:
– Fresh installed Retropie
– Expanded system
– Configured wifi
– Connected to Raspberrypi on my mac using Terminal
– Accessed cmdline.txt file and added this quirk: usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
– Rebooted
– Went into rom to test and saw that it now recognises two controllers instead of just one
– Accessed retroarch.cfg file to add my controller configs into the file.
– Added this:
input_player1_r_btn = “15”
input_player1_save_state_btn = “15”
input_player1_start_btn = “6”
input_player1_exit_emulator_btn = “6”
input_player1_l_btn = “14″
input_player1_load_state_btn = “14″
input_player1_up_axis = “-1”
input_player1_a_btn = “11”
input_player1_b_btn = “13”
input_player1_reset_btn = “13”
input_player1_down_axis = “+1″
input_player1_right_axis = “+0”
input_player1_state_slot_increase_axis = “-1”
input_player1_x_btn = “10”
input_player1_menu_toggle_btn = “10“
input_player1_select_btn = “7”
input_player1_enable_hotkey_btn = “7”
input_player1_y_btn = “12”
input_player1_left_axis = “-0”
input_player1_state_slot_decrease_axis = “-0”
input_player1_shader_next_btn = “13”
input_shader_prev_btn = “7”

input_player2_r_btn = “8”
input_player2_save_state_btn = “8”
input_player2_start_btn = “6”
input_player2_exit_emulator_btn = “6”
input_player2_l_btn = “9”
input_player2_load_state_btn = “9”
input_player2_up_axis = “-1”
input_player2_a_btn = “1”
input_player2_b_btn = “3”
input_player2_reset_btn = “3”
input_player2_down_axis = “+1”
input_player2_right_axis = “+0”
input_player2_state_slot_increase_axis = “-1”
input_player2_x_btn = “0”
input_player2_menu_toggle_btn = “0”
input_player2_select_btn = “7”
input_player2_enable_hotkey_btn = “7”
input_player2_y_btn = “2”
input_player2_left_axis = “-0”
input_player2_state_slot_decrease_axis = “-0”

– I ran a test to see what buttons are assigned to what number and took them down BUT when I rebooted and tested the controllers in a game it is not working properly.
– Joystick on one side is fine, on the other it is messed up. The start and select buttons no longer work and the jump button (I’m testing on Sonic 2) also pauses the game at the same time.
– Another thing to note is that when I exited the game (used the keyboard as start and select now do not work) I navigated to the retropie controller configure menu that comes up when you first boot up retropie to set buttons that way.
– Where before I did a test and start and select were assigned to 16 and 17 they now appear to read 6 and 7 when set this way. Also the A,B,X,Y buttons on both sets are reading the same values (1,3,0,2) even though there is no possible way they could be wired to the same place?

I feel like I’ve made some good progress but am unsure what to do now!
