Controller not working once game is launched

RetroArch Android devices
#1

Hi ,

I just bought my first fire tv 3rd gen and installed retroarch and using MY OWN LEGALLY DUMPED CARTS for the games. I bought a bluetooth controller that seems to work fine. When I go to launch a game it loads up and goes through the demo but then I have no controller response at all. I have to hit the home key on my fire remote to get out and force stop retroarch. If there a fix out there for this I would much appreciate it.

Thanks

Try to manually map your gamepad in input 1 binds and disable autoconfig.

Libretro! Please! Help me, if possible. I’m having problems on the android version. My USB gamepad working in GUI menu of retroarch, but not in ROMS ! Gamepad defined as Tomee_N64_USB_controller in Retroarch (through OTG microusb interface). It is determined in the retroarch menu and works fine, but as soon as you launch any rom in any core - it’s not work. if after that you go to the retroarch menu, the gamepad also stops working! if you restart retroarch - the gamepad in the menu will work again, but only until the first launch of the rom :(. P.S. My android device - redmi 5.

Im having the same problem this is how it happens:

Using DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick

autoconf file: https://pastebin.com/uRzdUd2C

1 - Open Retroarch.

2 - Controler autoconf message pops up in the bottom of the screen. At this point everything is working great.

3 - Load a game from any core, the game works normally. but the autoconf message does not pop in the bottom of the screen. So the controller does not work.

4 - So now i have to unplug the controller and plug it back in. After plugging the controller back in, the autoconf message pops up at the bottom of the screen. and the controller works again.

It happens all the time, when changing shadders, when exiting a game, while opening a game. So I have to keep unplugging and plugging the controller back in for the autoconf message to appear at the bottom of the screen.

I have no problem when using a Logitech f310.

Sorry for my bad english.
