Controller Issue - ChuckZRetro - 09-22-2025
Hi, does anyone else have an issue with assigning keys to L & R on controllers?
I have Retrobit Legacy16 Wired USB Controller and the L & R is not being picked up when assigning keys.
It does pick up the LZ and RZ buttons, but not the big L & R ones.
If anyone has a solution, please advise.
L & R work fine on other emulators.

Can you post a screenshot of your mapping screen? I'm curious if there's something conflicting.
RE: Controller Issue - ChuckZRetro - 09-23-2025
On mGBA it just does not register, as per the screenshot 1.
Screenshot 2 shows that I am using the LZ & RZ buttons currently.
Screenshot 3, think I might have found something, this is screenshot of VBA-M. what I noticed on VBA-M I have to deselect the SDL Controller Game Mode, for the L & R buttons to register.
Attached pics of config file of my mGBA if it should assist.

As I suspected, this sounds like an SDL bug. I'll see what I can do approaching it from that angle.

Appreciate it, thanks Endrift.
And thank you for the amazing work you have done on creating this emulator, and the work you are still doing on it.
