Gidday Drake,
There are a LOT of posts regarding issues with the F310…
I’ve been using both the dual action and the F310, but am only setting up at present. I’ve hit a few issues with the controller config too and found that the different settings options on the F310 (direct toggle switch underneath and the mode toggle on top) will radically change the input the controller is sending.
How comfortable are you with the terminal side of emulation station? I was setting up mainly for SNES and N64, and had to use jstest (ie “jstest /dev/input/js0″ where “js0″) is the first controller to figure out what input was being sent through, and fiddled with the different controller settings until I found something that worked. It’s slow, and arduous, but was about the only way.
Also I’ll apologise if it appears as though I’m speaking down to you, I’m just trying to cover all bases!
There's always one.
