I just received the Retro Link SNES Controller USB adapter I ordered to use with RetroPie, however upon launching EmulationStation, the "Up" button and the "left" button on my snes controller is not recognized during configuration.

I plugged it in on my laptop, and tested every button with Windows' game controller setup, and everything is working fine.

Is there any way I can get my controller/adapter working properly on my Raspberry? Any drivers I can install?

I'm rather unfamiliar with Raspberry / Raspbian, so any help would be appreciated.

EDIT

lsusb outputs :

I ran jstest, every button worked except "up" and "left", just like in EmulationStation.

The new Linux kernels (Raspbian is Linux) have better support for game controllers. You may be interested in downloading and compiling your own custom kernel with all of the new drivers. Also, this Linux article (http://www.linux.org/article/view/joystick-and-other-game-controllers) may help you.
