      Hello
      I have arcade joysticks hook up to an ultimarc controler into my retropie.
      When I play games like Donkey Kong or digdug, when I move Mario to one direction for a few seconds, he stop moving.
      Same thing for Dig dug, and it does exactly the same in every direction.
      I have to put the joystick to neutral position and then go to right again for mario to continue running.
      I try with different games (dig dug, DK) on different emulator (NEO GEO, advance mame)
      always the same issue.
      My guess is that the raspberry pie stop register keyboard key when its pressed for too long.
      Any help with that will be appreciated

        P.S.
        I'm using a Raspberry pie 3 b+
        and the retropie version is 4.5.1

        Also when I lauch a game that is long so start (Metal slug ) I can see the input from my joystick on the screen.
        And the keys repeat themself for an 2-3 sec before they stopped from repeating.
        Seems to me like its a setting on the raspberry /linux.
        But I cant find it
        I tried "xset -r" to prevent the key to repeat them self, but the command is not recognized.
