Required input [A] not mapped!

[plonka2000]

Hi all,

I’ve got my Raspberry Pi setup using RetroPie with 2 USB SNES controllers.

I’ve got main menu controls setup, but when I configure controls for a game, I receive the error “Required input [A] not mapped!” when trying to save the configuration.

I’ve gone back and remapped all the buttons and directions. Been through it a dozen times and can see all the buttons work in the ‘TEST’ function.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.

Hi,

I’m still experiencing this issue, I suspect that I’ll need to generate my own controller config file.

Does anyone have any idea where I can find the config file and any idea of the default layout or recommended configuration?

Thanks.

the file you need to look at is retroarch.cfg located in home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

To determine buttons run:

sudo apt-get install joystick

then

jstest /dev/input/js0

Here is the joypad section of my retroarch.cfg configured for my Xbox pad for example:

input_player1_joypad_index = "0"
input_player1_b_btn = "1"
input_player1_y_btn = "3"
input_player1_select_btn = "8"
input_player1_start_btn = "9"
input_player1_up_axis = "-5"
input_player1_down_axis = "+5"
input_player1_left_axis = "-4"
input_player1_right_axis = "+4"
input_player1_a_btn = "0"
input_player1_x_btn = "2"
input_player1_l_btn = "4"
input_player1_r_btn = "5"
input_player1_l2_btn = "6"
input_player1_r2_btn = "7"
input_player1_l3_btn = "11"
input_player1_r3_btn = "12"
input_player1_l_x_plus_axis = "+0"
input_player1_l_x_minus_axis = "-0"
input_player1_l_y_plus_axis = "+1"
input_player1_l_y_minus_axis = "-1"
input_player1_r_x_plus_axis = "+2"
input_player1_r_x_minus_axis = "-2"
input_player1_r_y_plus_axis = "+3"
input_player1_r_y_minus_axis = "-3"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "7"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn ="6"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"

For player 2 controls copy player 1 controls and change ‘joypad_index’ to 1 and ‘input_player1’ to 2 e.g. :

input_player2_joypad_index = "1"
input_player2_b_btn = "1"
input_player2_y_btn = "3"

etc

Here is the skeleton config for retroarch.cfg:

Thanks, this is really useful.
