1.3.2

When I use my joystick up down left and right is now maps to the keypad not the arrows

Not sure what you’re doing but I can assure you it’s not happening with any of my pads. The keyboard arrows have always mapped as the numeric keys from the GUI, it’s a bug we haven’t been able to solve yet.

My controller is a custom build based on the keybiard (I pac). I was built for mame predates console emulators

1.3.2 claims that all my zip and 7z archives are empty.

update the info files

Make sure your info directory is set correctly in directory settings too. It should be “<path to RetroArch directory>\info”.

I updated the info files and checked the directory.

Archives are still empty according to RetroArch. Downloaded the latest 1.3.3 nightly.
