The menu's are the same and it was installed as per documentation.

No, they're not. Your screenshot show a heavily customized RetroPie installation - that's not what a default RetroPie configuration looks like (even with added games). You're clearly using a 3rd party image, for which - as @Ashpool mentioned - we don't offer support.

@w-ekapak I also have delay and even disconnecting issues with ds4 at times. I solved it by using an 8bitdo bluetooth adapter.

@Efriim thanks for that info, i'll try it when i get back home later.
i'll report back.

I don't remember, I used the wiring from raspicade.
But the wiring doesn't care, I think you really have to set usbhid.quirks

@BuZz not entirely sure, i played around with the settings as you suggested, then when I reset the pi the on-screen keyboard started working. I know the joystick cant work with every game but I've attached a keyboard as well so it all seems to be working.

Thank you :)
