      Today for some unknow reason my wireless controller a 8bitdo sf30 pro controller stopped working. None of the emulators would recognize its input so as I had been instructed to in the past and the issue was mainly with mame4all I deleted the config file for mame4all but the controller wouldn't map properly.

      I tried removing it as a bluetooth device and then detecting it again but retropie fails to detect it. To add further complications retropie stopped recognizing all but the function keys on my keyboard. Upon resetting the unit which I have been running through a nespi+ case it wanted me to map the keyboard as if it was a controller (which I have never encountered).

      I just want to if possible reset the controller back to factory settings and try updating the firmware and then try adding it as a bluetooth controller. Not sure what the issue is with the keyboard but I would like to get the system to just recognize it as a keyboard without having to map anything. I am running a 3b+ board with version 4.4 of retropie. Apologies for the long message.
