8Bitdo SFC30/SNES30 GamePad

[Anonymous]

I have one of these new snes pad from the company 8bitdo, the have a NES pad out also. The SNES pad doesnt seem to work with libretro emualators that well, if you press the shorcut key to enter the menus (select + Y) then i brings the menu up but at the same time bring a ‘search’ box up which im unable to exit out of with the pad or keyboard and need to turn the RPi off.

Also have noticed when pressing the A button it also seems to be pressing down on the D-Pad. Any ideas how to sort these issues out?

If you start with a fresh image (retropie 3 beta 4) it has the rgui freeze fixed. It also has a different location for autoconfigs so that they aren’t conflicting with the config files there by default since it sounds like your autoconfig may be confused. If you don’t want to do a fresh image you can update your setup script and install retroarch from binary in menu option 5, and you can delete all the auto configs by typing

sudo rm /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/*.cfg

And then reconfigure your controller for retroarch and it should work.
