      @redmarsbluemoon Yes, stock Raspbian. No need for userland ds4drv :) Imperceptible latency atlhough I've never measured it, I can easily play even games like Street Fighter II.

      Try updating your packages/kernel? apt dist-upgrade and rpi-update.

      Also be careful about interference from other wireless sources (Wi-Fi, other 2.4 GHz devices)... Maybe try moving things around and seeing if that helps. Best of luck.

      Had a look and I can't seem to set my input device to anything other than "Wireless Controller" either within the retroarch input menu. I do have the other devices under /dev/input, and evdev does correctly detect the motion sensor/touchpad.

      Nothing else obvious in /etc/udev/rules.d/.

      Looks like you've not defined a Hotkey when asked in EmulationStation input mapping - that's why B resets the current game.
      What version of RetroPie are you using ? Can you add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

      I can confirm: downgrading SDL to v2.0.8 solved my problem!
      Thanks for the help, as always. :-)

      Seems pretty straightforward to run a script from EmulationStation. Proof of concept, here is a crude 10-minute version I made using Hursty's "Bluray" theme. It already contains a "Power" system, so I just added a small script, uploaded a small .png of the DualShock controller and edited the gamelist.xml file.

      MAIN MENU (from Hursty):
      main menu.png

      SELECTION:
      selection.png

      OUTPUT W/Pause (currently requires a keystroke instead of a button-press, but can modify this):
      ps4power-2020.04.14-17.24.46.png

      The simple script:

      #!/bin/bash clear echo PS4 Dual-Shock Battery Level: cat /sys/class/power_supply/*/capacity echo read -p "Press Enter to continue"

      Be sure that the script is set as executable.

      Lastly, the es_settings.cfg entry for the "Power" menu item to appear:

      <system> <name>power</name> <fullname>Power Menu</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/power</path> <extension>.sh .SH</extension> <command>%ROM%</command> <platform>linux</platform> <theme>power</theme> </system>

      Ideally, the output would be prettier and require a DualShock button to be pressed instead of the keyboard Enter key, but this will certainly work.

      After hearing the replies I think I will just power it on with the front button.

      @ivooc
      Yeah I meant threaded video. I've had the same RetroPie build from version 4.4, its hard to remember all the changes and configurations I've made. I'll try to share once I think of them.
      Do you have a fan installed? The temp_soft_limit is 60 by default and will throttle the cpu to 1.2ghz
      I increased the soft_limit to 70 and it barely reaches 63 during emulation.

      Have you updated retroarch, raspbian, and your cores, since you installed the image?
      the firmware, I should search to find out for sure, I think it is updated when you go to retropie config >> configure >> raspbian >> update raspbian(next to install pixel desktop)
      It could be a psx_bios, some have higher compatibility, I have quite a few in my folder actually, but I think scph_101 is the highest compatibility and it will be chosen over the others, not to be confused with scph_1001.

      As I say that Gran Turismo refuses to work.
      I don't know why, but I did update the core since I last played it.

      @mitu said in ds4 and ds3 pads together:

      @pplatinumss .... Remove the PS3 driver and install the customhidsonly driver, then try to pair both controllers. Remove any previously paired controller before doing this.

      ok. That worked like a CHARM. MANY thanks

      I removed dual shock 3 driver added the Sony hid one and paired the DS3. The DS4 pad was working from being previously paired.

      Awesome

      @webodan I don't think ES reads the list of Audio cards present in the system - the choices you see now are the default choices.
      Try using the instruction from the USB Audio FAQ page.

      @rsn8887 RetroPie doesn't automatically maps the keyboard as a controller - it only saves the gamepad configuration from the configuration you made in Emulationstation. Unless you explicitely map the keyboard in ES, it shouldn't generate any configuration for it.
      You can find the saved configurations - one per gamepad configured - in the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads folder.

      Must be a new RA thing, does it do the same without the keyboard plugged in ?

      @herb_fargus said in Anyone's Inputs Change with 4.4?:

      There were some driver modifications but don't know how they affect PS4. It was discussed at length on GitHub. Don't remember if it was merged in or not before release

      Would this thread be what you're referring to? I wonder if that's somehow what I'm running into somehow?

      Edit: Just checked. Still at 1.7.1.

      Edit Again: Follow this thread.

      @blerkotron i have got the same issue with the analog sticks using a Sixaxis Controller.
      Also works fine with jessie.

      Something seems to affect the analog Inputs of Sony Controller when using stretch.

      @dankcushions O thanks that's very helpful. I really had my eyes set on the ps1 styled 20th anniversary ds4 controller, but that color layout is only available as a V1..so that could still be an option. (I prefer wired.)
