krull

After following the guide to pair a new DualShock 4 controller by using the ds4drv method. After rebooting the pi after it paired with the controller.....it sits there and does not go to emulationstation. None of my inputs are recognized.

Help!

@krull What version of retropie ? What platform? Which guide ? What steps did you take ?

Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

You have been asked this before. It wastes a lot of peoples' time to keep repeating these instructions.

@krull How are you launching ds4drv ? I still don't know which guide you used, or how you have installed it.

This guide ? https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv or another one on github ? (edit - just noticed the one on our wiki too - https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Setting-up-a-PS4-controller). best to provide a link to avoid confusion.

Please post the contents of any files you have manually edited for this (use pastebin.com or directly on the forum if you wrap it in a code block).

It was the wiki you posted. I followed the user space controller driver section.
After I edited the rc.local file and rebooted.....the system is stalled at the spot I posted.
Thx

@krull please post the contents of that file. Use pastebin site, or put in code block (SSH in).
