@mitu said in My Xbox controller stay off when my raspberry pi 4 get turned on:

The Pi4 and Pi3 are different hardware and have different USB controllers, hence the difference. That's not why your controller behaves this way.

There must be some difference somehow. I tried 2 different controllers: Xbox One Series X controller and Xbox One S controller ("S" not "Series S"). I tried all 4 usb ports. Everything work fine on my Pi 3 but none of them get turned on when my Pi 4 boot.

I think I will move on, anyway I planned to use the Xbox One wireless dongle and buy batteries + a docking station for refilling the batteries, so this problem shouldn't bother me anymore after that. I'm just leaving as much information as possible in case someone else encounter the same problem in the future.

Thanks for your help.

@bulbisaur685 said in Pi Zero - screen and i2s using same pins, no sound:

I have both devices connected to the pins on the Pi Zero, but when going into the settings for audio I am getting information that the audio is disabled

That message is shown because the audio configuration utility only knows about the on-board audio. For any other configuration - where you disabled the on-board - you'll need to configure the audio yourself.

My suggestion would be to start with the audio configuration first (in config.txt) and then try to configure the screen once you've got audio working.

@greenhawk84 Download the latest image and open it with 7zip to look in the boot partition and read it. This is what it looks like, extracted from the PI4 image:

For the PI2/3 models, I think there's a memory setting added that's extra, the rest should be identical.

Nvm i figured it out

@g30ff thanks!!!!

@marukotenada the poster hasn't been here in 4 years - there's a slim chance it will reply back. Please don't bump old topics - open a new topic instead and explain your issue.

After playing with this quite a bit, I discovered that the controller becomes active as soon as the right trigger button is pressed. This seems very strange, but at least I know how to work with it.

@stevenhurwitt No, I don't.

@chizzer
We've all been there. In fact I just recently was scripting some batch file operations and introduced a space after something that broke it all. Gotta love those facepalm moments.

Glad you got it sorted now.

This diff should do the trick, clearing also any keyboard type controllers

I don't think it's 100% correct, since any errors during startup would leave the joystick disabled, further testing is needed.

@mitu ahh ok, perfect, I'll give that a try today and hopefully that will work around the permissions.
Thanks again 😊

@koerty I think gaussian is the preferred option for most psx games for accurate sound emulation

Ok thanks Mitu

@dankcushions thanks for that suggestion. I tried that now but to no avail. BUT: it lead me down the right path and I found this thread here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/763/psx-multitap-retroarch-4-players/70?lang=en-US
That solved it for me!
Thanks y‘yall!
