Check for initialisation files SD/config/sys-con/

Hi, this is the contents of that directory:

$ ls config/sys-con
config_dualshock3.ini config_xbox360.ini    example.ini
config_dualshock4.ini config_xboxone.ini
config_global.ini     config_xboxorig.ini

Are some changes required?
Cheers - Scott.

Is your sys-con configuration folder located in the config folder in the root directory (not atmosphere)? Check it.

[scottmeup]

Yeah, the above output is run from SD root.
The full path to those files is SD/config/sys-con, where SD is the mount point for the SD card.

I had a similar error and it was solved by fixing the location of the configuration folder. If you have everything in order with the placement, then I can only suggest using the fix of archive bit on this folder and files (especially if you are using macOS).
