Reply To: Updated for 2.2: Step-by-Step Guide

[quote=21510]I have the newest image (2.3) and in both 2.2 and this I have not been able to get my joystick/controller to work. The keyboard works fine in ES, but not in an of the Emulators and when I try from the command line to configure the joystick I get the error message “Couldn’t open joystick #0″. I’ve tried changing the joystick code to 1, 2, etc. but no luck.

Has anyone been able to configure their joysticks? Am I missing a driver or perhaps since I’ve got my Arcade joystick plugged into a Keyboard encoder (along with a real keyboard in the pass through) and then into my Pi, is there a conflict?

I can’t wait to really try RetroPie/Emulation Station but this is driving me crazy.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like the joystick isn’t natively supported or you need to set it up like a keyboard.
