@abj I got a new HDMI cord and it worked.

Doh!

Thanks for the help!

@ilpappa unfortunately I'm not the one to give advice about electronics - I don't have enough knowledge/experience.

@djdq13 Apologies for the delay here, hadn't seen this. This should be fixed in emulatiostation-dev now, if you want to try and confirm? Thanks.

So most likely the USB hub is disconnecting at some point and EmulationStation crashes during that moment. Can you try and get a separately powered USB HUB ? Or perhaps a newer PC, since the one you have is more than 10 years old ?

@dumisky said in emulationstation crashed when connect two joysticks:

So, could it be a driver problem?

Hard to say without any logs to help diagnose what makes EmulationStation crash. Did you have to install any driver to make the controllers work ? I don't think they've needed any drivers on Linux at least.

@mitu Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry ended up with some custom BS image, but at least I'll learn more by starting from scratch.

I guess the question is why ES crashes - can you get the log file from /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_log.txt and post it here ?
