@nixzero said in How to save controller configurations to IMG backup?:

Does this provide any clues?

Not really, the Joy2key keyboard messages are ok since they're associated with the runcommand menu and the joy2key utility. However, the fact that there are no disconnects for your physical gamepads means their connection is fine - it's what the dmesg command was used for.

@Ranma doesn't log level 0 remove all text?

@windg That might work. Thanks.

Can you please add some info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

On the Pi4 (and 400) there's no need for the GPU memory split, that's required for earlier models. If you have installed from the RetroPie image downloaded from https://retropie.org.uk/download, the memory settings should be fine. For a Pi4, a 512 GPU split is excessive and will not help the performance.

@George-Spiggott I switched up some of the games to the new Amiberry. Wow, it's a lot better now and very easy to use.

It's been a while since I used it, and the last time I had a lot of issues with controllers being properly recognized. Now, no interaction required. One-click, and I'm playing.

I also did some performance tests between the two with A-10 Tank Killer, Knights of the Sky, Bonanza Bros, and PowerMonger.

Nearly the same performance between the two, Bonanza Bros definitely ran a little better on Amiberry Angina 500+ setting.

But other than that, they're equal. That was with overlay and shaders active on lr-puae-2021.

@niwi said in First boot rasperry pi 400 with Sony PS4 controller:

Should the PS4 controller be discovered at first start?

Yes. Check the cable - it may be faulty or allows only charging (and no data communcation). If you have a PC available, check if the cable+controller are detected there.

@blboun said in XBox one controller logo button not working in games:

not sure what you mean by that ? how can it work in retroarch ? it still doesn't work when I open any game...

I thought you disabled the Xpadneo driver and the hotkey would start working. Xpadneo maps the SHARE as a key event, that's why I asked for the model and checked whether you're using it or not:

Full support for the Xbox Series X|S controller is present including the share button. This is currently mapped to keyboard event KEY_RECORD and may not work at all for any purpose.

and yes, it says Button 10, not key 10, my bad

OK, that's cleared up, though it doesn't explain why the hotkey doesn't work with it. I have an older Xbox One controller (not S) which has the same layout, but it doesn't have Bluetooth. The Xbox button works as a hotkey, but since it's wired it's not the same thing.

I fixed it, but it is very weird. I connected it to another monitor, standard office FHD, 60Hz monitor and it now works (only on that monitor), it also works on out TV, which is 4K, 120Hz. I don't really understand, what's going on, that it doesn't work especially on my monitor (1440p, 165Hz).
Pls devs, fix it =)

@darksavior said in What Exactly is the Raspeberry Pi 400?:

@Jiryn I use a flirc case for my pi4 but it's not enough so I attached a fan. It's stable just don't go beyond 2Ghz.

Same goes for my fanless aluminium Argon Neo case. I like its magnetic cover that can be easily removed to access the Pi's internal ports.

@maschine Yes, you can.

@mitu Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try.

@oli said in Updated : New to retropie - no audio on Retropie using new Rasberry Pi 400:

The background music is only playing in the main menu.

RetroPie doesn't include any background music - are you using a RetroPie standard install image ? Please open a new topic and add your info, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@busywait Thanks!

@webbsmurfen On the PI4, the GPU core freq is 500, not 700. You're confusing it with other value. See https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#overclocking

@askcompu you may want to try forcing a specific output resolution when you use that tv. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md

@spyhunter said in Running existing Retropie SD Card on Pi 400:

... BBC Micro, C64, Amiga - have downloaded FS-UAE and ZX Spectrum emulators. Do I need to change Repo it points to? will that work?

Not sure if any of the listed emulators have a repository with binary packages for Raspbian - you'll have to check their homepage/documentation. For Amiga emulation, Amiberry has binary releases which you can download and start directly.

@ecks said in Raspberry Pi 400:

things like debugging when needed?

You'll find A LOT of uses for a keyboard once you get into it. I use a Bluetooth keyboard all the time.
