Although I use xinput mode on my gaming PC i will give it a go as I can just use my duelshock 4 on my PC so i'll give it a go and update you guys on the results.
Edit: nothing in games like dinput and unlike dinput the trigger didn't work so it looks like switch mode is the only one that works however as I said I use that for my switch so is there anything else I could try or am I stuck with switch mode.

@mrdowntempo no problem. Just remember one thing, linux is case sensitive so caps and lowercase are important. Even though if you are inside dosbox and you want to run say WOLF.EXE you can type wolf or wolf.exe, when you do it in a .sh file, even though it actually runs the commands inside of dosbox you have to have it say WOLF.EXE.

However, if you do it in a .conf file it doesnt matter.

@caver01 Well it was a lucky coincidence that I did the migration shortly after I read this thread. I wouldn't have done that only out of curiosity. :)

@gomisensei Yes it is, when you enable launch images.

Have a look at this:

@zero2k Shouldn't make a difference.

I doubt there would be any advantage of running on 64bit (aarch64) OS, in fact many emulators are likely to run slower as they have armv7/neon optimisations which wouldn't work on aarch64.

@mitu I gave it another shot and moving the line to autostart did the trick! Music still starts and I get to keep the music folder on my usb stick. Thanks!

You must understand that you've given us fairly little to work with. No specifics on hardware, no logs, no EmulationStation version, no real source for the error, etc. It's kind of why the warning before posting exists: the more info you provide, the more likely you are to get an attempt at an answer.

Let me try something: do you hear audio in everything? Are you using videos? When do you get that error - in an emulator? In EmulationStation?

Either way, in the sound menu from EmulationStation try to change the audio device one by one, restart and see if the error persists.

And yes, I suppose if nobody answered it's likely nobody has had that error.

Best of luck.

Slight correction to my above post. After restarting the pi, the stop emulationstation and start emulationstation script no longer works. It is stopping emulationstation but no longer will resume it.

@capeman
Keywiz works great on PC but it uses a PS/2 port. Would it work with a PS/2 USB adapter?
-I just got a GPWIZ 40 but it's giving me fits. I can only get one joystick to work and none of the buttons are recognized at all. I'd really like to know what people are using other than a keyboard to play games without having to write your own program to get it to work.

@lodan-zark have you tried the test image

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16307/retropie-4-3-11-stretch-images-for-testing

@obsidianspider ok i found the issue!!!!!

i had copy/pasted the config line within /etc/udev/rules.d/10-retrogame.rules (i create this manually rather than using the adafruit install script)

was checking the config file and noticed that the config contents looked odd

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="retrogame", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"

at first glance it looked fine, but when i typed another double quote next to the exsisting ones, it looked slightly different!! so i re-typed all the quotes, and everything is fine and dandy again!!! :)

@xboxwin defeats the purpose of the forum rules. Stop it.

@dwarfboysim Start with Emulationstation input mapping and see if it fixes the RA problem. Have you done additional configuration for your gamepad besides the mapping in Emulationstation ?

@chrisbati

Unfortunately, c64 and spectrum joysticks only had one fire button command, no matter how many physical buttons there were.

The adapter may support more buttons on the output, but if it has no difference in the incoming signal, it won't be able to do anything else.

@dankcushions said in Garbled Audio when crt shaders enabled:

the ‘new style’ xmb menu is not enabled in retropie by default. we use the old green menu for these kind of reasons. i guess your configs are all messed up and it’s using default retroarch settings, so all bets are off.

Yep. I got it fixed now. Not even sure how exactly but I noticed that my nes and gb system cfg files had a ton of stuff in there copied from the default retroarch. I just rebuilt them by hand and all is well now.

@sano I would try later, but you are probably right.

~ edit ~ It works. Thank you dude.

So i tested the remote on some snes games and the shoulder buttons worked. I also have been able to play some ps1 games also. Not sure whats going on but it didnt work this well last time i messed with it nor did the graphics look as good and i hadn't messed with it since i encountered the issue about a month back.
