@BuZz @mitu i just updated everything tested all was good. Then hooked up wiimote and it is screwed up. The whole problem is my wii classic controller pro’s axis -1 is stuck. All of this issue cause by something stupid. When i found out it was happening only with my wiimote on i tested it on my wii and immediately the pointer hand shot straight up. Time to replace the analog.

And i am back in business. What a wasted day of backing up everything. Glad i didnt wipe the card without updating first which allowed me to find the issue. Otherwise tomorrow would be a wasted day too.

@BuZz i do have one issue that might have been from my previous update. (Not the update i did 2 days ago) When i quit emulationstation by any method, the first time it restarts emulationstation and says loading config file. Then it shows it loading all of the system configs on the es splashscreen. Next time it works fine. Not a huge deal, just an inconvenience.

@BuZz said in (Solved) Lots of massive issues after updating to retropie 4.4.11:

SDL update was reverted a few mins after my post in other thread

I know, but @edmaul69 was having problems updating the script from git, so the new version wouldn't have been pulled - it was just a workaround for the network problems.

@edmaul69
For ES restarting check some of these files for a trace of the init
/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostop.sh
/home/$USER/.bashrc

And try resetting the boot behavior
retropie setup script>>Configuration / tools>>autostart
raspi-config>>boot options

Set to Auto-login Command line Interface

With the wiiremote, the analog is stuck, has it got any liquid spilled on it? Try taking the batteries out and resetting it. Make sure that the analog is neutral when putting batteries in/resync.

@Efriim thanks for the info. Actually the issue on the analog was a bad solder pad. I just jumpered a wire to the 5v/gnd (didn’t test to find out which it was) on the other axis

@Efriim so the issue was in the autostart.sh. I had the emulationstation line with the —-no-splash in it to disable the splashscreen . Somehow a line with just

 emulationstation auto

Got created underneath it. Now it works fine. Thank you.

@edmaul69
Is that the place to put --no-splash? I had added it directly to the configuration file but it wouldn't merge with any update.

@Efriim that parameter is not persisted nor read from the configuration file, it only works from the command line.

~~I plugged in my pi. It was closing on netplay everytime.~~

in emulationstation on the 'retropie list' there is an item 'RetroArch Netplay' There is an option for hostname set to "retropie" by default. If you have a different hostname for your pi. Change this so they are matching, that worked for me.

ooppss wrong thread.

Not to mention that usb rom setup no longer shows up on the setup

edmaul69

@Efriim yes that is where it goes. You change the line to:

emulationstation --no-splash #auto
