Reply To: Configuring USB Game Controllers after messing up initial configuration

[karloss]

missed the sudo commands..

at the bottom on the /RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg file, you will see input_player1_joypad_index stuff, delete all of that…
then drop into terminal (F4) or ssh and do this..

cd ~/RetroPie/emulators/RetroArch/tools

sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -o p1.cfg -p 1 -j 0
( -o for output file, -p for player, -j for joystick id )

then do this

sudo cat p*.cfg >> ~/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

this will setup the controls for the emulators, if you need to do the emulationstation controls, delete the esconfig file in the .emulationstation folder and reboot.

good luck
