I'll go ahead and post the obligatory "more info needed"
Are you trying to set it up to navigate the menus? Is it not working in gameplay?
If your buttons and encoder are setup and the system is reading keystrokes you're on a good path. Hyperhq has the settings for navigation in hyper spin. Game /system settings should be done in emulator. That's a quick answer from my phone. But you need to explain your problems, your set up.. Etc
