Controllers doesn't work on Redream for Official Raspberry PI4

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

Yesterday I installed the RetroPie image from the official page and I installed redream (multiple times) through Retropie Setup. I checked the forums and saw various posts regarding this issue. I found the redream.cfg file and it exists although it's empty. I uninstalled redream, deleted teh file and re-installed it. it created the file but it's still empty. I found a post on here with someone settings below, but that didn't work.
I have a wireless keyboard hooked up and a controller. I've set the input to both a Sega Genesis controller and an Xbox One controller. Once I launch the game, it runs farly smooth but that that point, it doesn't accept any controls. I press escape on the keyboard in Redream and it brings up a menu (Now Playing Games, Library, etc), however I can't really navigate around. The controllers do nothing. The keyboard make it do random things but I can't really navigate off of "Now Playing". The only way I can get out is to uplug the pi and start over. Everywhere else, my keyboard and controller act normally. What am I missing?

I've updated my retropie script, and operating system to latest version. Please help.

Does this issue happens only for Dreamcast or for all games ? Can you post the log taken after you're having this issue - from /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

Did you overclock your Pi or are you using the stock settings ?

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

It only happens for Dreamcast (I haven't tried N64, or PSP yet). I did overclock my PI. I don't have active cooling so I didn't go to the max.

These are my overclock settings
1.75 Ghz 620 GPU
over_voltage=2
arm_freq=1750

#Add these 2 lines for GPU Overclock
gpu_freq=620
over_voltage=4

Here is the runcommand.log

Remove any overclocking and see if you can still reproduce the issue.

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

@mitu I commented out my overclock settings and it is now running at stock. My controller within redream still does nothing. I found keys on my keyboard to kind of navigate around in the menu. Seem like T will go up, F and H will go left and right I haven't figured out down, but I can't actually select anything.

I try to navigate to input to see if maybe I can map a controller there but after pressing every key on the keyboard, nothing will execute. This issue only exists in Dreacast.

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

@ULTRA-MAGNUSS One more note, redream.cfg was empty. The only reason there is anything in it is because I copied someone elses's. I don't know if it matches my controls or not. I can't seem to get it to populate the file on it's own.

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

@ULTRA-MAGNUSS I found how to navigate with keyboard from redream webpage . I got it to set my Xbox Controller for Port A, Genesis Controller as Port B, and Keyboard as port C. But so far I still can't use the controller. I'm playing around with it now.

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

@ULTRA-MAGNUSS Ok, I figured it out. Now that I have the mapping for the keyboard, I was able to navigate and map all the buttons on the controller.

inolen

I think you made this problem a lot more difficult for yourself by copying someone else's config complete with their input settings.

Without copying the config, the Xbox controller should "just work" as soon as you press a button on it.

ULTRA-MAGNUSS

@inolen Yeah I though it would "just work" when I plugged it up but it wasn't. If I had thought to go to Redream website to see the keyboard mapping, that would saved myself a lot of time. All other emulators just worked (minus Daphne). Once I saw that mapping, I figured it out. It should have just used the mapping from emulationstation but whatever, it works now.
