Gamepad Config - Buttons not recognized - Pi Zero

mitu

The \\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation path is for using File Shares to access the Pi.
If you're using SSH/SCP, then the same folder can be accessed at $HOME/.emulationstation or at /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation.

I added the lines.

The es_input.cfg file looks now like this.

But the PS4-Controller is still not recognized after rebooting.

mitu

The file looks right, but I still can't pinpoint why this doesn't work.
Can you run again emulationstation --debug and then post the log (now with the new configuration file) ?

christalclear

Here is the new es_log.txt

After running emulationstation --debug I tried to configure the PS4-Controller.

It recognized the first button press but after that I got a error message.

I recieved that message a couple of times now.

I already checked the gpu_split which seemed to be ok.
It was set to the same values as in the documentation.

gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256

mitu

I don't think the gpu_mem is at fault, the RetroPie image already has this configuration.
The log file shows ES shutting down cleanly - are you sure it's the one from the crash ?

Try updating your RetroPie packages - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/ - if you haven't done so.

No it is not.

It was from before the crash.

I tried again and another crash happend.

Here is the es_log.txt file from that new crash.

I just did the update but nothing changed.

I tried doing a new installation on my second micro-sd-card again.

But I still got the same issue (gamepad recognized but emulationstation freezes on button press).

mitu

I don't think there's something wrong with the card or the Pi. The symptoms are similar to the gamepad being disconnected/re-connected.
Have you tried connecting the gamepad directly to the PI, without the USB hub ?

christalclear

So I now tried to connect the PS4-Controller directly via a micro-USB cable.

It was better then before.

I managed to map about half of the keys but then emulationstation froze again.

mitu

@christalclear That rules out any issue with the HUB. Do you get any under-voltage notifications when your the Pi ?

christalclear

I just checked and there is no under voltage notification.
