Emulators That Support Controllers

RetroPie supports many popular controllers out of the box. On first boot you will be prompted to configure a controller in EmulationStation. Once you finish configuring your controller, multiple configuration profiles will be automagically generated for most of the systems in RetroPie.

May 22, 2009 With support for an incredible amount of mappers, it outdoes some of the best NES emulators around. It also supports NSFs, the famicom disk system, save states, IPS patching, battery-saved ram, NES movie files, and many VS-Unisystem games. Finally, it emulates four non-standard controllers (including the Power Pad). In short, World of Joysticks XInput Emulator does exactly what its name suggests, enabling you to play games that only support Xbox controllers using other devices. It is easy to set up, and very.

Some emulators will still require manual controller configuration which will be detailed on their respective system page here in the documentation.

You can also configure controls for individual systems and individual games. For more advanced controller configuration with libretro cores (any emulator that starts with lr) see the RetroArch-Configuration page.

Note that some controllers (primarily wireless or bluetooth controllers) may require special drivers to be installed through the RetroPie Setup Script which are detailed on their individual controller page.

Controller Configuration

On first boot this menu in EmulationStation will configure your controls for both Emulationstation and RetroArch Emulators:

Hold down any button on your keyboard or gamepad and the name will appear at the bottom and then open up into a configuration menu:

Follow the onscreen instructions to configure your gamepad- if you run out of buttons just hold down a button to skip each unused button. When you get to OK press the button you have configured as 'A'.

If you wish to configure more than one controller, you can do so from the start menu of emulationstation. For more details on manual controller configurations see this page Here.

Hotkey

The Hotkey button enables you to press it in combination with another button to access functions such as saving, loading, and exiting in emulators. It is suggested to use the Select button as the hotkey. The following chart shows the default hotkey combinations. For example, if you chose Select as your Hotkey, that means you hold down Select while pressing the other button to execute the command.
