[RESOLVED] Controller problems on Atari 8-bit games using atari800 libretro

Hello there everybody!!

Someone knows how to correct configure the controllers to run atari 800 games and his variants, using a xbox one or xbox 360 controller?

I've searched a lot and did'nt find any conclusive answer to this!

Still no "Hello" ?

I didn't understand your problem.

can you give more details?

Well, I run any atari 800 game from retrobat, and none of my controllers or keyboard works in game.

And the retroarch menu opens automatically everytime the games loads, with any atari 800 game, I'm using the atari800 libretro to run the games.

And sometimes, after I close the menu (not even in retroarch menu the controllers or keyboard works, only mouse) I can't open the retroarch menu with F1 again, or quit game with Esc.

I need to do a Alt+tab and close it manually.

So, the problem isn't only in game, is even on retroarch menus.
And that was I didn't understand, cause in aaaaall the others systems this wotks fine, even the dosbox games.

VERY strange !

what button did you use for the hotkey?

Yeah, reeeeeaaaally strange.
And I take a look on retroarch coore options, and everithing is normal on atari800 session.

On keyboard F1, on controllers select or back + button 3 (Y or triangle).

Y for ?

Y on xbox one S controller, using (X,Y,A.B) and triangle on DS4 or DS3 controllers, to open the retroarch menu in game.
The hotkey on controler is select or back.... but to open the menu I use + button 3.

But, how I said.... the menu opens automatically, but nothing works on that menu or in game
I need to click in continue with mouse and almost the times, I can,t open the retroarch menu again.

i'have no problem with my xbox 360 controller.

Reset the gamepad config with BatGui.exe (SDL selector menu)

Restart retrobat, config your gamepad and retry.

Gonna try that, cause is very strange it only happens on Atari 800 games.

And my DS4 and DS3 controllers are emulating X360 controllers with DS4Windows, and my Xone S controller (bluetooth) have the same problem on then.

Didn't undertand why it  happens.

Come back here soon.


Thanks.

EDIT: Problem solved!!!!

I changed the the Controller option do xinput on drivers menu on retrobat,and Input option on retroarch to dinput on drivers menu, and it works perfectly.

I use SDL before, cause I have a bluetooth controller to play on Android phones and sometimes use it on PC too, my bad.
