@clyde said in Controls randomly locked for 1 or 2 secs:

Strangely, on my system only the other hdmi port away from the power plug has video and sound. 😛

weird......

@buzz Till that hiccup, it’s run fine from the desktop (This installation was from before rpi4 was supported and had an image). It just took a bit of tweaking. I did notice better performance when booting directly vs desktop, though it was outputting in 4:3 on a 16:9 TV and the resolution was low (I think) so the TV’s upscaling algorithm (4k tv) smoothed out the pixels (will have to tinker to see if I can fix that). I’m just glad it works again.

@oofiskoo Did you come up with a solution to this? I appear to be having the same issue.

@mitu ok sorry

Can you please add more info about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?
How are you trying to wake up the system - keyboard, controller, etc ? If you're running a screensaver, consider disabling the power saving option in ES.

For the audio part, try adding audio_pwm_mode=2 to your /boot/config.txt and see if it improves the sound cutting part.

@goobatroopa gles2n64 saves the day. Thank you very much for your assistance @quicksilver

@retromikey6 we don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones with Roms included. Please remove the link to the image.

@herb_fargus That's what I was thinking.. an overclock that won't run on his pi, since every pi is different. Or using different controllers with a driver enabled that is interfering with the controller he is using.

@TommyEllas What controllers are you and your friend using ?

I have similar problem. I thought its my adapter to the monitor. I use a dongle for keyboard too. What was the interval when you got this screen freeze? I get it maybe once in a hour. Maybe its a different story on my side.

@mitu I have it disabled, but it freezes too seconds after a game is launched, all I need is a way to auto update runcommand core on any startup.

@jacek We don't support 3rd party images - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. You're free to try the RetroPie image from https://retropie.org.uk/download and report back if you can reproduce the problem.

@rthorntn Switch the RetroArch video driver to sdl2 or try logging in with a Wayland enabled session. See

@wihaedud

I have this exact same issue. However the fix doesn't work for me. The bluetooth disconnects after 5 seconds as it should but then never connects back to the pie and wont until the pie is rebooted. Any ideas or anything I can check using ssh to ensure the bluetooth service has restarted?? I am a bit of Linux noob but can find my way around a putty window :)

@pjft sorry I didnt know i really wanted some help thank you

Try the official image from the RetroPie website. Custom images are not supported here. If you have an issue with the official image we'll be glad to help. If you're using one from another source, contact who created that image for assistance.

Forgot to mention, both partitions are formatted in ext4 format.
Not sure if that info was need lol but noticed i had not added it.
Cheers

@lostless was simply just bad rips. Thanks
