        Unsure about actually freezing and forcing you to reset - that may be a different issue altogether.

        There is a known issue with Vibration and Bluetooth controllers causing stuttering in PCSX-Rearmed. Go to the RetroArch menu and in the Quick Settings menu disable vibration. See if that helps the lags.

        I don't expect/know that it would cause total lockdowns - that could probably be emulator compatibility or a bad image - but see if this helps.

        Best of luck!

          Thanks, I will try. Image 100% is fine, because with USB controllers I can play without any problems. I will post update soon.

            Thank you very much! As you told, vibration was the problem.

            Solution:

            sudo nano /var/lib/sixad/profiles/default
            enable_rumble 0

              Oh my. I was suggesting something simpler at the RetroArch emulator level, but that certainly works :)

              Thanks for sharing, glad it worked out!
