Gamepad no more working Binary Update

frank-w

Hi,
i made today a binary-update (after script-update) and now my gamepad is no more working. i got no message "no gamepad detected" (as if i plugout it at boot), but i can't navigate in ES...also keyboard does nothing.

over ssh i see this in syslog:
May 15 16:54:25 retropie kernel: [ 7.416364] input: Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 USB as /devices/platform/soc/3f980000.usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.5/1-1.5:1.0/0003:046D:C218.0001/input/input2

May 15 16:54:25 retropie kernel: [ 7.417258] logitech: probe of 0003:046D:C218.0001 failed with error -1

any hints?

Hey frank-w,

I don't have any answers for you, but I can confirm that a binary update also wrecked my xbox 360 controller's connectivity. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it would only partially work, and sometimes I got the "no gamepads" problem too.

Best solution I found was to save my home folder (with the roms, saves, etc.) and reinstall. I didn't have the patience to look for a way to back out those updates. Something to do with a kernel update, I suspect.

Exactly the same issue here, after the update my Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 is detected (if I try to configure inputs using another pad in Emulation Station it says 2 pads detected) but does not respond to any button pressed.
I want to clarify that the Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2 is not a bluetooth pad, but rather uses a wireless receiver that is USB-connected to the Raspberry Pi. I tested the pad with my laptop and it works fine, and it was working fine also with the Raspberry Pi before the update.

Same Issue here. I did binary update to Retropie 3.8 and now my gamepad IS detected but buttons do not respond. Rumblepad 2 wired. Also tried clean Retropie 3.8 installation from official image but problem is still the same. Any suggestions?

The only way I was able to make it work again was to back-up my home directory, reinstall from the 3.7 image, and then copy back the content of my home directory. I lost some setting in the process, but now the pad is working.

I have the same issue with my NES30 and SNES30 gamepads. I pair them fine but as soon as I open emulation station it says "No Gamepads Detected" and only responds to D-pad inputs and the keys do nothing....I don't even have a backup of my older retro pie images so i am SOL right now

Same here.
I was with a previous version of Retropie and everything worked fine. As I like to live on the edge, I did a binary update to 3.8.1
Then my pads would not work anymore.
So I formatted the SD card, installed from scratch version 3.8.1 But still the same problem. The Logitech Cordless RumblePad sends its controls to the receiver (I see a led light turn on each time I press a button), but Retropie does not read them properly. Even though it sees there is something connected (emulationstation tells me the correct number of connected gamepads when I go to configure one).

Any help would be appreciated... I know I can still go back to 3.7, but I'd rather see this fixed so I won't miss all new updates and get stuck on 3.7.
Thanks

rpi-update should sort it, or wait till a new kernel is packaged. Controller may still work in xinput mode.

rpi-update does not work currently....SSL-Issues with curl (ca-certificates installed and time is correct)...
how can i activate xinput mode? currently i cannot access ES...only SSH

can i downgrade kernel without rpi-update-script?

frank-w

got it (with patched update-rpi.sh) working:
