It has nothing to do with the modules, there's something related to the kernel files copied by rpi-update which breaks the compilation - see https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1364.

@TheFloW said in Randomly slow EmulationStation menus on RPi 4:

I was referring to how to get to HDMI boost and TV mode

HDMI boot configuration is not available for the Pi4, as for the mode selection, you can just use raspi-config and select 1080p as default video mode.

That did it, my homemade joystick is working now direct into the CPU.

I do find it disturbing though that an official release is internally inconsistent. With any open project my next move should be to volunteer to fix it. I'm not there yet but learning every day.

Thanks for all the help!

I take it nobody uses the GPIO for anything?!?

I had the same issue with the same controller. I suspected it was the Xpad driver and was correct after updating everything else individually.

I'm not certain it will fix the issue, but here is my working Xpad driver's entire folder.

Working Driver: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HYT5lnioWIvuF3LuNHe4Wf91DzfLM5-k/view?usp=sharing

These go in /opt/retropie/supplementary/xpad, but everything in there requires Root access to alter.

I hope I was helpful.

Retropie4.4 's support of Xbox 360 controllers is broken

Xpad works just fine. Xboxdrv has known issues with multiple controllers but that isn't something the retropie project maintains.

@dankcushions

Well I guess I wont be playing that game. Thanks for the info

@mitu No, I did it but the behaviour is still the same, as the 8bitdo N30 pro (with the difference that it doesn’t have the TURBO button).

USB >> 8Bitdo NES30 Arcade
Bluetooth >> szmy-power Ltd.Joypad

@retronoobie3000 I know this does not help DosBox but malcolm's Revenge runs flawlessly in scummvm.

@psyke83 Hi, I was away since a long time.
I'm installing the latest Retropie version on an Rpi 3 and wanted to try the sixaxis driver with a SHANWAN PS3 clone controllor.
I was able to pair the controller but not to connect, the led on number 1 turn on solid red for less than a second and then disconnects.
Sometimes happens that while doing it, Emulationstation crash.
This is the messages on bluetoothctl

There is something I can try to solve the problem ?
Thank you in advance.

@buzz

Thanks a lot - yeah I thought i'd open an enhancement anyway as I did some reading and one of the Retroarch devs confirmed the SW and HW cores are identical, except the HW one has the additional options. Both are the same if you run in software mode:
https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/7hxke8/psa_psx_beetle_hw_is_absolutely_amazing/dquv1jp/

So I figured it would probably be a useful enhancement enabling HW support at some stage - albeit I appreciate not high priority.

@psyke83 has kindly done a bit of work already to enable and i'm happy to test this out:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2279

Thanks again.

On my system
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

install kernel 4.9.35-v7+. DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick works without any problem (just redo controller configuration from EmulationStation).

You should never use rpi-update ;-)

Here are some tests i have done :

@sdhoigt Donkey Kong II Jumpman Returns is playable in MAME2003+ as i added support for it several years back

@wombat We released the version without PCB yesterday (https://www.amazon.com/Super-Kuma-Case-Raspberry-Kintaro/dp/B0767HHJY1/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512052347&sr=8-1&keywords=raspberry+pi+case+snes+kuma#Ask) and it comes with a custom heatsink. The version with pcb is expected to be released in january

@nsuk ok so you made me look like a jackass thanks.
