That seems like the case. As mentioned earlier, I’m a total linux noob, but all the tutorial fixes I saw for controllers not working seemed to reference the old file structure that’s in your link.

Hopefully they can get that ironed out. I was getting super frustrated, and I imagine a lot of other people have run into the same problem.

Thank you for the reply Floob, but I got some help from someone on Neogaf last night who is a lot better with Linux than I am. This is the code that he gave me which worked on my version 2.3 build.

sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

All I had to do was F4 out of emulation station to get to the command line, and enter these three lines. It ran me through the retroarch controller configuration again, but this time it actually stuck.

If anyone else is having trouble getting your controllers to work, give this a shot.
