I have been trying to compile RetroFE for a while, but haven't been able to get it to run. However, the latest version seems to solve the problem! Awesome!
The only thing that might be a issue is deadzone. I've noticed that it's very sensitive so if my Xbox360 stick is just a little off the menu starts to go left/right.
Might be possible to work around this issue by calibrating the controller in Windows, not sure yet, but I really appreciate the update Pieter Hulshoff!
