      What version of RetroPie you would suggest for the GPi Case2 with Raspi CM4 Lite?

      Use the image for the Pi4/400 from retropie.org.uk/download and apply the GPI Case 2 specific patches to it.

            GPi CASE 2 display patch, have files for RecalBox, Batocera, RetroPie. Are you sure you install the correct one for the RetroPie?

            My English isn't at a good level.

              @windg The .zip-file says "GPiCase2Wpatch_retropie+zero2.zip". So there is no other available for retropie..

                Yes, there's just one config.txt, which I don't think it works for RetroPie.

                    I don't know, I'm not familiar with the RetroFlag's case configurations. You can probably just pick a few lines from their config.txt to add to the default (from the image) configuration file, but since I can't test, I'm not sure what/if will work.

                      No i found a solution for my issue:

                      in raspi-config run the setup for the GL drivers. After a reboot emulationstaion was able to run.

                      BUT: The welcome screen show "No gamepads detected" and i cant use any button there. So now i dont know how to solve this... anyone can help here please?

                      Edit: I know that the gamepad is alright on the hardware side because I recently tried it with recalbox.

                        If the hardware side seems to be fine, then it means the software is not working - doesn't the gamepad on the case need a driver to work ? Maybe it needs an additional driver package or configuration.

                          @mitu Yes a good thought. But that means that all the retropie images i got on my different SD cards seemed to be damaged. Damn, the last GPi handheld ran perfectly with retropie. Thank you.

                            @mitu Omg, shame on me. All the time i used the wrong patch for my GPi Case. Instead of GPi Case 2 Patch i used GPi Case 2W Patch.

                            I installed the correct patch and retropie boot as it should and works immediately. Thank you for the help anyway...

                            And sorry for double post^^
