RetroPie Not Recognizing New Gampad #76

Closed vogtjame closed 1 year ago

vogtjame commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I have configured a new gamepad using gpionext config and was able to get all the way through the config process with no issues. However, when I do "gpionext start" and then reboot, retropie is unable to detect a new gamepad. Any advice on this issue?

RetroPie can be picky if there aren't enough buttons registered. Can you describe your controller?

Ah that is the problem then. I wired up only 4 buttons just to test. I see the previous thread now where you said it needs at least one directional pad and two buttons to work. When I tried that, it works. Thanks for the quick response!
