Reply To: USB SNES Controller – D-Pad not working in games

[herbfargus]

If any of the above steps didn’t work for anyone, this is what I did to get my dpad to work:

I went into

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

and changed

# Axis for RetroArch D-Pad. 
# Needs to be either '+' or '-' in the first character signaling either positive or negative direction of the axis, then the axis number. 
# Do note that every other input option has the corresponding _btn and _axis binds as well; they are omitted here for clarity.
# input_player1_left_axis = 
# input_player1_right_axis = 
# input_player1_up_axis = 
# input_player1_down_axis = 

to

# Axis for RetroArch D-Pad. 
# Needs to be either '+' or '-' in the first character signaling either positive or negative direction of the axis, then the axis number. 
# Do note that every other input option has the corresponding _btn and _axis binds as well; they are omitted here for clarity.
 input_player1_left_axis = -0
 input_player1_right_axis = +0
 input_player1_up_axis = -1
 input_player1_down_axis = +1
