You need to create a udev configuration file under /etc/udev/rules.d.
Run from the command line (or a SSH) session:

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="*Touchpad", RUN+="/bin/rm %E{DEVNAME}", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=""' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-disable-touchpad.rules

then reboot. See if the touchpad still functions after this.

To get back the touchpad, you can remove the file with

sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/99-disable-touchpad.rules

followed by a reboot.

There's an overview of the audio settings which should be used with the Pi's on-board sound in this sticky. It's probably related to incorrect settings - see 1., once you have the correct audio settings, the message should disappear. it might be related to 1. Is the audio played directly by your TV or is it routed to the home cinema ? Any messages logged in /dev/shm/runcommand.log ? Are you using Steamlink over WiFi or wired ? What's the resolution of your display ?

Hi everyone,

I was able to make it working with:

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
disable_overscan=0
overscan_left=0
overscan_right=0
overscan_top=0
overscan_bottom=0
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16
config_hdmi_boost=7

Then I got 60fps in Steam, but no image. After disabling the Nvidia overlay in the Gforce settings I had an image again but heavy framedrops. After setting Bandwidth limitation in Steamlink itself to "Auto" these were gone as well. Now Rayman is running with 60pfs, what results in no speed change of the game. Why the game reacts so badly on not having 60fps I did not found out.

Best regards!

I figured it out - key is to map the controls in the native emulator (in this case RPCS3) using a keyboard. Then, when playing on the pi via the Steam Link, everything worked great. What a fantastic addition!

@undrwater Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Please provide more details of set up. No idea which hardware you're running even.

I would definitely like to see this option come to EmulationStation, since I have several items I would want to move out of ports into their own separate items on the carousel.

@wmarler first of all thanks to your work.
I encountered an issue when using the command make. So when I try to use the commands
make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build/ M=$(pwd)
$ sudo make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build/ M=$(pwd) modules_install
its something like :
make : Entering directory ........
make : *** No rule to make target ´ /build/´ . Stop
make : Leaving directory ´ /lib/modules .......

I am quite new to linux on that level so I dont know what to do. Has somebody an idea.

Did anybody get this working? I've got it to the point where Steam Link will load and I can access settings, but if I select Start Playing then it kicks me right back to the ES menu...

@Darksavior mine drops to the console if that's where I start it or if from ES, drops me back there.

I'll try mitus suggestion first and see how that goes. It would be nice to be able to use this as I move my computer to the living room currently each time for the wife and I to game.

I finally brought my Pi4 home today so I might just give this a shot as well and see what happens with both retropie and SL later on.
