wilenek

Thanks Mitu. I've tried already that. No dice.

@wilenek What's the message appearing in dmesg when you plug in the controller ?

wilenek

@mitu i'm at work right now. I'll post the dmesg when I got home. I'm new to Linux so it might take some time.

@mitu Hello Mitu

Here is the content of dmesg

And the contents of dmesg | grep usb if that helps

@wilenek I see that the device(s) are detected as 1 gamepad (FightStick) and 2 mini-keyboard input devices. So Emulationstation does not recognise them so you could configure them ?

wilenek

@mitu Riitek i8+ keyboard works fine and I've configured it without problems.
Emulationstation don't detect the fightstick in input configuration.

With a fresh install of 4.3 on first boot emulationstation detects the controllers & the keyboard and then I press any button to configure then.

@wilenek Upon looking in the log, it appears the device is reset after connecting

How many devices are connected when the log was captured ?

wilenek

@mitu The fight stick and the keyboard.

wilenek

Tried to connect the fightstick to a powered usb hub with a 5V - 2.5A but didn't recognize it.
Any other thoughts?

How can I downgrade retroarch version to 1.7.0 to rule out retroarch problem ?

wilenek

Good news,

After i update my system yesterday the fight-stick suddenly was recognized by pi and i was able to configure it.

Problem solved.
