You’ll know which one to use based on what controller name pops up on screen when you start a game or plug in a controller mid-game. The next part of the process involves configuring the controller in RetroArch. In fact, it comes from the Raspberry Pi version of the EmulationStation application (former front-end for RetroArch emulators). I don't understand the difference between global, per-console Down = +32767. I have the same problem, with the same controller (logitech f710) using retropie 4.However, when I try to exit out of the game or try to save, the game just pauses like you just hit the start button normally.Because the Gamepad controller is not mapped properly by EmulationStation this is easiest if you have a keyboard or another controller connected so that you can easily navigate through the RetroArch UI.

It enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. First locate the following section in the retroarch file. The reason is that you’ll have to remap the UI Quit setting in-game which can easily become problematic. The buttons on the Shield controller are not setup well by default. Other times, as explained, controllers will not even accept any configuration or will not navigate on the Retropie menu at all. Now, provided you are seeing the Retropie menu, or the controller configuration screen but you can’t setup anything when pressing buttons on the controller, hit F4 on the keyboard to exit to the system prompt. If you use mixed controllers, I recommend using devreorder – it’s a program that allows you to define the order in which controllers are enumerated in Windows. In particular Select+Start to exit a game but also Select+Shoulder Buttons to Load/Save. "Quit" button in this screen is actually "Restart" button.

I am using Retroarch to emulate (Mednafen PCE fast) and within Retroarch I have enabled the left analog stick, I have binded the right analog press to exit Retroarch and the shield controller back button to exit to menu. Retroarch exit game controller input_exit_emulator = num4 input_enable_hotkey = num3 # Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the “nul” bind, which disables the bind completely, # rather than relying on a default.
