JOYPAD NOT WORKING WHEN LAUNCHING ROM FROM IAGL TO RETROARCH - jojjua - 2019-05-29

Hi,

as mentioned in the title i don't know the reason why but when i launch a game using retroarch as emulator instead of the retro-player one the joypad (an official xbox360 controller) stop working and i can only use the keyboard to play the games...

Does anyone knows how to fix this issue?

I could try use retro-player for all the games but sometime, it seems to me that retroarch is doing a better job emulating some systems.

Thank in advance

By the way:

I'm using Kodi Leia on  and Android Tv box

Have you set up the controller in Retroarch? Is it recognised?

Does the controller work when you launch Retroarch directly?

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, when i launch retroarch directly it works fine!
I don't know why but if i start retroarch from IAGL it doesn't work.
I can't find a fix for this problem...it's quite annoying

You likely have two configuration files (one which is the default when you start Retroarch and one that you pointed to in the IAGL settings). You'll have to make sure those match. See here. IAGL doesn't do anything with regards to configuration of controls for retroarch, it just starts it and tells it to run the game you specified.

I have a similar issue with my Xbox one controller connected to my pc only I use the built in player to launch iagl games. Everything seems to work fine in the controller with the exception of the joysticks which dont seem to work at all.
