      Pi Model or other hardware: Pi4
      Power Supply used: USB C
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.8
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: n/a
      Controller used: 8bitdo SN30 Pro+
      Error messages received:
      Verbose log (if relevant):
      Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide)
      File: (File with issue - with FULL path)
      Emulator: PSX default
      Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)
      How to replicate the problem: Run update and selected update OS files

      I got rumble to work when I first set the Retropie a year ago by having both the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ controller and the 8bit USB adapter set to X input. In the PSX retroarch settings I made sure to set the input type of "dualshock" and made sure the ruble setting is on. After running the update, the rumble no longer works.

      I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the xpad driver. Disconnecting and connecting the USB adapter. The rumble does work. It vibrates when it pairs with the USB adapter. I confirmed both the controller and the USB adapter are at the latest firmware versions. Does anyone have any suggestions what else to try? I really don't want to start from scratch again.

        I tested on my rumble enabled controller and it's not an emulator nor a driver issue - assuming you're using the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator.
        Can you post a verbose log from the emulator on pastebin.com ?

          I found a solution. I had to pair the controller and the USB adapter again. I noticed I have to do this every time I boot up the Pi4.

            @arroyjose then it sounds like an issue with the USB adapter rather than a RetroPie/Raspberry Pi problem.
