Alone In The Dark doesn't recognize existing controller on PCSX ReARMed

Libretro Cores
#1

Hi!

Yesterday I updated PCSX ReARMed to the latest version on my Nvidia Shield TV and noticed that Alone In The Dark - The New Nightmare prompts to plug a supported controller into port 1 although my controller is registered to input #0 and controlling the game’s main menu or any other PlayStation game works well. I tried enabling/disabling the analog/standard controller and multitap option, but none of that worked.


The last core version working with this game didn’t have the multitap option. Might this new implementation cause something that let the game think there is no controller plugged into the emulated console? Or might it be possible that the game is looking for something like “SCPH-1180”, but RetroArch identifies it’s virtual controller as something like “RetroPad” to the console.

Kind regards Frufo

I found a workaround. When I set the pad type to “normal”, enter the game and reset the pad type to “analog” the prompt is gone.
