I’ll start by saying I’m new to this, but I have been reading everything I can to try and figure out where I am going wrong.
I am using Jessie with the latest retropie (must be 3.3?), and a rumble pad 2
My problem sounds just like everyone else’s. I can use the joystick and configure it in the GUI (emulation station). However, once I launch a game, it doesn’t respond, saying ‘rumble pad 2 USB controller not configured (it seems like it’s detecting it quite well for the recognition of the controller in the message!). I’m back to the keyboard only.
Some people have mentioned pushing f1 in-game can get to the controller setup and it works from there. But, I can’t seem to launch a menu by pushing F1.
I have a suspicion that there is nothing at all under:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/
And from all my reading it seems like something should be there. I feel like that’s why the ROM’s are telling me my joystick is not configured.
I’ve tried changing the drivers to Udev and rebooting, but that didn’t help.
Am I right in my suspicion about the missing file? Is there anyway to generate it?
Thanks for any help.
