      Hello,

      I have a weird problem, it has been mentioned before in this forum but my problem is different i think.
      If is use 2 PS4 controllers wired there is no problem, if i use the 2 controllers wireless also not a problem BUT if i use one controller wired and the other one wireless then the wired controller start moving around on its own ....

      I did remove all the data from the following file but this did not help ...(read that in another post)
      /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg

      I also accidentally removed the date from the following file,

      /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_settings.cfg

      Not sure where it's fore but so far it seems i did not damage anything, can someone tell me where this is for and if i had damaged an important file ?

      Also hope that someone can tell me how i can fix the controller moving on its own when plugged in USB and another wireless at the same time ?

        @bios this linux controller patch probably will fix it.

          Thnx for your reply and advice ;)
          I take a look at it, but it seems like the issue with the northwest situation is well the controller goes up and left.
          My controller also goes up BUT not goes left and also random presses START and the SELECT button.
          If both are connected wireless no problem, both wired also no problem, but as soon as one of them is wires and the other wireless then it happens ...

            @bios this would still be worth trying. It is something good to have done anyways. If it doesnt fix that then it still fixed a huge linux issue.
