@martin87 The fact that Dual Shock 2 is recognized as Dual Shock 3 probably happens due to the adapter used, and it is probably because of this same adapter that the buttons are not recognized correctly.
You can test your joystick:

And manually edit the file:
\share\system\.emulationstation\es_input.cfg

ok so my Gamesir's work perfectly fine connected usb. So i guess i have to get 25ft usb cables LOL 😐 , yeah i have a huge theater room that i sit 16ft from the 65 in screen, so i'll have a little bit of slack in the cables.. If anyone from Recalbox team is reading this, please take this post in combo with the gitlab issue

https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues/1378

it's some BT issue and only with the Gamesirs, my old Gamesir 3GS and the new T4 pro.. same thing that happens with Mame in the gitlab issue happens with N64, if using the Gamesirs BT , once i start a game with N64 or MAME the controller still looks connected BT but doens't work i have to turn it off/on , on Mame that works, but on N64 it causes only 1 stick control on the Gamesir and my select and start buttons to work..

so while not ideal i would prefer to be able use BT instead of having a cable dragged across my floor 😉

Hola, buenas!!

Pues efectivamente la versión que utilizaba era antigua.

Me he bajado la última versión, he copiado las ROM y configurado todo sin ningún problema.

Con los botones y palancas conectadas al GPIO tambien te deja remapear los botones.

Muchas gracias por vuestra ayuda!!!

Saludos!!!

post your retroarchcustom.cfg with pastebin please.
