      I added the lines.

      The es_input.cfg file looks now like this.

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

        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) ?

          Here is the new es_log.txt

          https://pastebin.com/KCjthYzU

          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

            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 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).

                    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 ?

                      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.

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

                          I just checked and there is no under voltage notification.
