Controller Stopped Working

Post by kawavulcan97 »

Using Linux Mint 18.1. I've been using a cheap SNES controller I bought on amazon for years. It says RetroLink on it, but when I type "lsusb" into terminal it says "DragonRise Inc Gamepad" for that USB port. So yeah, the computer is recognizing it, it's working fine in zSNES, which I hate using. Snes9x just doesn't recognize it at all. Not in the mapping section, not playing the game. And it was working fine until maybe 3 days ago. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Hello,

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 17.10 with Snes9x-GTK. My controller 8 bit do stopped working on Saturday 2017/11/25

The controller still works with others emulators such as ZSNES or Higan.

When I run this command, it kind of works but i don't have the GTK GUI.
snes9x -paddev1 /dev/input/js0
This is the PPA I use : https://launchpad.net/~random-stuff/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
