From this issue, RA doesn't appear to support analog triggers properly, at least in linux. Hopefully with this fixed, cores such as reicast and other future cores making use of such inputs will function as they should.
Updated with details: In linux, attempting to set L2 and R2 within the RA GUI results in inproper digital values (axes 6 and 7 in my case) rather than proper analog values (axes +2 and +5 in my case). Manually editing retroarch.cfg to add the proper values will work, however this is counter-intuitive and not everyone would know to do that. All other details are in the upper part of this thread.
@hiddenasbestos realizing you're probably the best person on the team for this, if you could find some time to look into adding such support, I can help you test whatever you'd need. I currently have a test Intel Kaby Lake-based system with kernel 4.15 and ds4 pads, and can compile RA as needed. Thanks very much.
