I just updated to 2.10 and I'm trying to configure my keyboard for Genplus-gx, but the only two things it allows me to configure are power and reset, no options for any other buttons (and none of them appear to have any default mapping). Am I being incredibly dumb or missing something obvious here? I never had an issue like this in previous versions.

Select the "Player 1" tab.

That's the problem, there is no player 1 tab. Here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/gFVnC8h

This is indicating no controller is connected with sync settings, what do you have in sync settings in GEN -> Settings.

They're both set to "Normal," here's a screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/JGH30xq I tried the other controller types, but none of them changed anything.

What game exactly are you trying to play.

It was a Sonic 1 hack, but does it matter? I wasn't under the impression that the game you load should have any bearing on controller settings.

Which game you load can affect controller settings, as the core is free to override which emulated controller is plugged for specific games which expect specific controls. Some Sonic 1 hack I would assume would work fine... does base Sonic 1 work?

Actually, the screenshot you just showed indicates that is NOT 2.10. There are many more settings present in 2.10. Please show an image with 2.10.

Just tried base Sonic 1, exact same issue. Tried Sonic 3 & Knuckles as well for fun and it was the same there too. And I know they're good dumps since I saw the green check in the lower left. Just to make sure I didn't flip some weird setting, I completely removed my settings files and started from scratch, and I still get the same behavior. At first I honestly thought I was just missing something silly, but I'm beginning to think it's an actual bug.

I would suspect there was more some botched update attempt if anything, if that sync settings screenshot is actually from your 2.10 install. Please make sure to keep all BizHawk versions in separate folders, do not try "updating" by plopping the folder contents into an existing install, that will more have weird issues.

You're right, I just did a clean update to 2.10 and it's working fine. I thought I had done this earlier, but I think I got my folders mixed up when trying to move my saves over. Either way, sorry for the wasted time.
