      How to replicate the problem:

      Hi guys,

      Recently I have been updating a lot of installed packages in my Retropie image (based on Nachos 64GB) and mostly everything seemed to be working fine until I tried PSX emulator lr-pcsx-rearmed. Loading any rom with this emulator results on a black screen with a yellow "Paused." text.

      From this screen I am able to open teh emulator menu (by pushing Home + Square button on my PS4 controller) but nothing I checked there seemed wrong and everything I changed resulted in the same screen. Hitting "Resume" in that menu simply freezes the screen showing the same menu but keys won't work until I press the Home + Square button again. Apparently it happens with any rom.

      It is not a BIOS or ROM problem as I changed the emulator to pcsx-rearmed and the ROM loads fine, but I am not able to correctly configure my PS4 controller on that emulator (buttons work but arrows/sticks won't).

      Hope you can help me with this issue. Thanks!

        We don't support 3rd party images. Ask the author(s) of the image for support or use the image from retropie.org.uk/download.
