USB Keyboard disabled after exiting Mupen64Plus and ES?

[d3sim8]

Run an N64 Game. Use Start + Select to exit to ES. Exit ES via menu or F4. Now try and type into the terminal, nothing works.

RPI3 - Stock, no OC
5.1V 2.5A Power supply
RetroPie 4.1 (tried Prebuilt, also Updated from Source/Binary)
105 key generic Acer USB Keyboard (set to US in /etc/default/keyboard) and Wired genuine PS3 controller connected

runcommand.log:

Emulator is mupen64plus-GLideN64

Restarting fixes the problem, however I would not like to do this every time. Any workarounds?

Hi there

I face almost the exact same issue !

Only keyboard, no controller

• Can play on mastersystem with keyboard, exit with start+select... all good

• Can start stock N64 emulator, but keyboard do not work within the emulator (I read it was a known problem - possibly comming from the ROM)
  The only way to exit the N64 emulator is Esc of F4
  Once in emulationstation, I can use the keyboard to navigate and exit
  Back on the terminal, keyboard is not working but one touch, the tiny 2 bellow Esc
  If I unplug and replug the keyboard, Pixel is displayed...
  I can then navigate from terminal to pixel with Ctrl + Alt + F1 to F7

RPI3 - Stock, no OC
5.1V 2.5A Power supply
REtroPie 4.2 setup script on top of Raspbian NOOBs installed following this tuto
HP USB wireless keyboard+mouse "Desktop C7000"
Locale set to Fr
No controller

I have the same issue, the keyboard does not respond after I quit Retropie back to the shell whenever I play a N64 game. I had hope that 4.2 would fix the problem. I prefer to kill my bash session from another terminal instead of restarting the Pi.

Just gonna jump in with me too. Rebooting using ssh is no big deal but it's a minor annoyance.
