      I have RetroPie 4.6 installed in a Raspberry Pie 4.

      I can configure the controllers (both a 8bitDo Zero 2 and N30 Pro 2), but whenever I try to start any game, it shows the press a to change message, and then it goes into a black screen.

      I just tried the N30 Pro 2 using the USB cable and it works.

      Any ideas? Thank you!

        It's a known issue with certain 8bitdo controllers when configured in XInput mode - RetroArch takes a long time to start. Try configuring the controller(s) to start in 'Switch' mode instead of PC/Xinput mode.

          You are right on. I tried one of the controllers in Switch mode, and the other in Android mode and it works very well. Thanks. I looked around and couldn't find the error.
