Hi Dank. I just figured it out.

I started Retroarch, went to settings --> input --> then looked at Input User 1 Binds and compared to Input User 2 Binds. Both had the same Controller (Mad Catz Chun Li Fight Stick) listed, so I pulled in a secondary controller and mapped it accordingly.

The problem is solved. Now I have one other question I'll have to ask in the a new topic after I search more.

Thanks!

Did that, but nothing changed.
I have no idea where else to look.
Talk about frustrating.

@tspgallagher said in Brand new Pi4 2GB, controller works in Estation, not in actual games:

I just have to figure out how to get OUT of a game once I get into one.

Hotkey + start

I just updated to the Beta version for Raspberry Pi 4 and it seems to be working. Thanks!

@mitu All right, I'll try it and update. Thank you for your patience.

Edit : Looks like it works. Four reloads without a crash. Thank you so much!

Incidentally, I've found this on the github wiki :

'NAM however will run and continue to run everytime you start it up but it changes the eduke32.cfg file located in .etc/eduke32 on its own and breaks duke3d and all expansion packs till you manually modify eduke32.cfg selectedgrp field back to duke3d.grp. I've tried multiple times and nam breaks duke 3d and any expansion packs every single time. To avoid this change the permissions on the eduke3d.cfg file so no one can change it. And then you can run duke 3d the expansion packs and nam without anything breaking or having to modify anything after running nam.'

I am wondering if this is the same glitch?

Ok, that makes sense, I will try that...Thank you sir

Check this out and you can get even 4 Atari joysticks connected with a single USB. Works great with my Raspberry Pi 4 and emulation station. https://www.icode.com/atari-joystick-usb-adapter-design/

All is good. I couldn't recreate the issue. After several attempts.

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@dankcushions thanks, I will try

Edit: It works! :)

@renepela confirming lr-vice problems too, build fail on linux mint 19.3 x64 (RetroPie 4.6)

@DarkGlobe said in kodi - Retropie 4.6 - Raspberry Pi 4B:

Could this issue be fixed by making customisations to the /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg directly rather than creating a copy or would that put the customisations at risk of being overwritten & lost?

The system file (in /etc) is maintained by the RetroPie-Setup script, so it might get changed by an update, so it shouldn't be used for custom systems.

@Amorphous thx it says Up to Date

Just to close the issue: I've set gpu_mem at 320 Mb via raspi-config and now everything works fine! Thank you very much!

@mitu omxplayer accelerator was already on so i turned it off to see if it worked but it didn’t

I see, i guess this is a recent change, since i installed it about a month or two ago in the same machine and it worked fine. Thanks!
i will do the change.
Also sorry for duplicating the topic, i didn't find this before searching, i guess i searched for different parts.

it worked btw. i'm sure you knew that, but wanted to confirm i did it :D how do i mark this as solved?

Well I figured this out myself so thought I'd share in case someone else has the same issue.

Go to RETROPIE and open RETROARCH.

Go to settings and redo whatever buttons you need to for INPUT 1.

Go back to the main menu, into configurations then SAVE current configuration.

Job done, all works fine on SNES now.
