ControlBlock2 stops working after reboot, reinstall of service required each time

[trigger_d]

Hello,

I have an RPI5 and ControlBlock2.

I installed Retropie by following these instructions: albeit I'm using the full Raspberry PI OS (64 Bit) https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file

I've used the below command to install the service ControlBlock service

"wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2/master/install.sh | sudo bash
"

Using jstest /dev/input/js1 I can see it working when using a jump wire. However, whenever I reboot, it appears the only way to get it working again, is to run the uninstall and run the above install again.

I've ran sudo systemctl stop/start controlblock.service to no avail. running sudo systemctl status controlblock.service returns the following

"pi@retropi:~ $ sudo systemctl status controlblock.service
● controlblock.service - ControlBlock Service

Hi, do you have any other hardware attached to the board?

Hi,

I have the following usb devices connected
usb to 3.5mm jack converter
keyboard, mouse
xbox one controller

Though I've attempted the install without the xbox controller connected; with it connected, it appears to occupy /dev/input/js0, shifting the controlblock to js1+js2.

Kind regards
