Homebrew Question Retroarch - PS1 Won’t respond to controller inputs

carnage781 · Jan 28, 2021

All other systems/core work fine.

I updated all things in retroarch including controller profiles, that didn’t help.

Tried closing it and trying different controllers (Pro, Joycons, Wired) none work

I tried switching the input setting from standard, to dualshock, and then tried analog, none of that works

Yet if I toggle the menus, that works perfectly normal, then when I resume game? Nothing no buttons work.

Is this a known/common issue, and any suggestions on a fix? Let me know if any other info is needed and I’ll provide it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Have you tried using the last stable build of the core? Also reset all your configs and see if that helps.

Yeah last night I installed the 1-27-21 Build, replaced all duplicate files with the newest, and updated everything in the online updater.

How do I reset the configs? I’ll try this later when I get home. Just weird that it’s just the one core PCSX Rearmed

I said the latest STABLE build which is from 21/08 (RA 1.9.0), get psx core from there and try it. Resetting configs is done either from RA itself (Configuration files>reset to defaults) or you can just delete your .cfgs inside RetroArch folder manually.

I had a similar issue with the controllers for PS1. I solved it by disabling the multitap in retroarch options.

Where do you find this setting?

Thanks for that @alex_wutang, but now it's moot. On the 2/1/21 nightly, it just crashes out to home menu when I load a psx game
