I have the same Controller and it is working fine here with 4.8.2 .

Let's try to reset input configuration:

RestroPIe-Setup > Configuration > emulationstation > Clear/Reset ES input configuration. After that, restart and configure again the controller.

Also, the controller have a small button in the back, set this to X position.

@chuckwurt said in Raspberry Pi 4 using 4 controllers Help:

I have a Pi 4 8 gig using emulation station and it’s in an arcade 1up.

Does this mean you're using RetroPie ? Please give more details about your system, as explained in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

When navigating the menus all controllers work fine. Once I enter a game to play, only the Logitech controllers work.

If the game is a max 2player game, then only the first 2 controllers will work. What game/emulator are you using ?

@chipsnblip I've also tried with my iPad charger (5.1 volts at 2100 mA) and the same issue occurs with exactly the same repro steps.

This morning I tried a different distro (batocera-linux -- derived from Recalbox). Everything works without any issues on my PiZero W (NES, SEGA GENESIS, SNES). The only difference in my setup with batocra-linux is that my controller needs to be on the "D" switch instead of the "X" (my controller was not working in "D" mode with RetroPie). Maybe that's another clue to investigate. For the time being, I'll stick with batocera-linux since It Just Works™.

I will still be monitoring this thread as I am curious if anybody else is able to reproduce. I can't be the only one having this issue.
