Description
I have a USB adapter that can receive two PS joysticks. My joystick doesn't work in RA, even to control the Menu. When I open RA, it shows the message "Twin USB Joystick configured in port 1". When I try to set controls, no commands are recognized. I've already created a file in autoconfig with the correct vendor and Product ID but nothing happens.
In Drivers, it only shows me hid and mfi options for controller.
Currently I'm using the "enjoyable" software to map keyboard commands and play as if I were using the controller. But it doesn't work so well. I would like to configure my joystick directly in RA.
Could anyone help me with this?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the controller-detection problem on RetroArch 1.17.0 under macOS High Sierra with the Twin USB Joystick (VID/PID 2064/1). Check the available hid and mfi controller drivers and the existing autoconfig entry; done means the joystick is recognized for menu navigation and control mapping.
