Don’t know what your problem is but my phone as key works perfect. It used to work 95% of the time but it’s gotten perfect over the last several months. I can’t actually remember the last time I pulled out my keycard.

If I get the update soon I will test a few. Xbox 360, and this guy (which is also USB)

I also have converters for super nintendo, N64, and nintendo that can be tested but are less likely to work.

I tried today after the upgrade and it didn't work.
Anybody had success? Do you think it matters which front USB port? I will get another controller if necessary, but the one I have works for all of my RetroPie setups.
Hey guys it's late but I decided to test a couple controllers. I tested a nintendo gamepad with USB adapter and it did not work.
I test Xbox 360 USB controller and it works, but you have to have it plugged in before the game is loaded. Also it works with the left stick, and A/B buttons but the pad didn't do anything.
I will try the 8bitdo pad soon.

Let us know if this controller works. Looks great. Pricey but looks perfect for the car.

This controller works: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XB6FRPR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's $13.
My verdict is that it works great for Asteroids and Moon Lander -- actually better than the steering wheel/screen controls. It's not so great for Centipede, Millipede, and Missile Command. The direction buttons move the "cursor" too fast in each direction making it hard to have accuracy when playing the game.
Now I use a hybrid approach. I still use the screen to move around (Centipede, Millipede, and Missile Command), but keep the controller in my other hand to fire. Better to wear out the $13 controller than the scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
I can't quite figure out how to use the controller with Pole Position. It seems like you use the A button and the right trigger simultaneously to accelerate, but still need to use the actual steering wheel to steer.

I can report that these smaller SNES-style controllers do *not* work:

(I was hoping to find something smaller to leave in the car than those bulky XBox-style controllers.)

And, as a follow-up, I'll report that while the Logitech F310 controller basically works, it doesn't provide fine enough control to play very well. Like that XBox-like controller above, the slightest nudge in the movement controls (either using the analog stick or the directional pad) causes too much movement. In something like Centipede, you can't move your character a small distance.
I found that an actual XBox One wireless controller (connected with a USB cable) does give fine enough control to play reasonably well.

Good to know since my kids have a few extra controllers lying around. Will test out this weekend.
My GameSir G3s controller works great, as does an old Sony CUH. Trick is, you have to plug it in *before* you start the games. I'm still on 8.3.

Can you better explain this? I have an 8bitDo, but I don't understand what you mean it is paired with your PS4 controller?
Do the D-pads on these controllers work or just the analog sticks? I hate the analog sticks for most of these games.
I plugged in my 8bitDo but it didn't work. Maybe I should try it again with new updates?

Interesting, I have never needed it. I use it on my RPI, and phone since they already have bluetooth. The car detects it but does not allow me to use it as a controller.
Micro-USB to Red Crystal Dualshock PS4 controller works for me, plugged into a usb hub thats in my front port
