@gordonfreemanjr do you have any other controllers plugged in? Did you map your keyboard as a controller? It may be worth going into RetroPie-setup and resetting your mappings and then remapping just to see if that fixes the light issue.

@rodolfoaguilar Hi. I did not have time to research any further. I can only guess what is causing the problem, but it is definitely something tied to ppsspp. I guess that not enough people had stumbled on it yet. Hoping for an update from the retropie team working on ppsspp.

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. What controller type/model are you using ?

@quicksilver Absolutely devastating. 2.4 GHz didn’t made the TV to couch distance...

@matchaman normally at a flee market you could find some in decent condition for like 5$ each and the kit is like 20$ so 25$ for a wireless OG controller would be the best but for me when i play my console games on my Pi i use the SN30 Pro and Pro+ but when i am on my Switch i use the official one they offer when you have the Nintendo online service (which i have not tested on my Pi yet).

I have a theory why this happened I had my channel width set to vht80 my 5g wasnt showing up either. It shows up now after changing it.

wireless super Nintendo work great $26 new from amazon

If the controller is plugged in with a cord it will detect it, but it will not detect the 8bitdo adapter. I didn't install a heat sink on the internal Bluetooth chip because I had this adapter and planned to use it. I don't know why it can't be detected.

Press Start to open the Emulationstation menu, then use the Input Configuration entry to re-configure your controller.

I believe that is a Windows only device

I have a similar behavior with the most recent version of Retropie running on my pi 3 B+. My Logitech F710 controller runs very well inside the Emulationstation, however if I start a games - regardless with kind of emulation - the controller stops to work.

Welcome to this forum. Please provide all the information that is asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first in addition to the vendor and model of the wireless keyboard.

@Jshhh Try using a RetroPie image and see if that works. If it does, the problem may be the kernel/firmware version in OSMC.

Thank you @seanbeedelicious ! Works like a charm.

Got it thanks again for all the help. I guess this brand is more commonly referred to as a shenwen controller and that's what the pi recognized it as. After installing the PS3 drivers, I used this guide to help: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/54522/retropie-ps3-controller-over-bluetooth/54630 I appreciate the help as I'm now able to play from the comfort of my couch, as opposed to a folding chair I had set up in front of the TV.
