Hello together!

I have the same problem.

It is like this:

  • Recalbox 8.0.1 Electron on the PC (Thinkcenter M93P).

  • Logitec wireless mouse and keyboard via a USB dongle. Sometimes switched on, sometimes not. Played and plays no role in the error.

The XBox One controller (model 1708) ran error-free so far - when pairing, in the EmulationStation menu as well as in the Retroarch games and in Dolphin.

Recently, the following has been happening (the video evidence is here (copyrights are mine!)):

https://t1p.de/controller-dont-work

a) In Retroarch-emulation: All keys stop responding with the start of emulation. ONLY if you press the shoulder keys often and fast, the keys work again for a short moment. With Dolphin everything works fine.

b) In the wireless keyboard only(!) the combination "ALT+F4" works to stop the emulation. All other keys (e.g. "F1" for the menu) do not react. As said, only during Retroarch emulation, not in Dolphin.

Video times to fast forward:

00:00-00:45: Controller is logged in and works fine.

00:46-01:55: Example Mupen64Plus. A little bit works, but the key combination for the Retroarch menu does not.

01:56-03:20: Example Flycast. Not working until you finally press the shoulder buttons several times.

ESSENCE OF THE PROBLEM
03:21-04:02: Retroarch menu example. Not working until you finally press the shoulder keys several times.

QUESTION:
Who knows some advice?
Do you need my recalbox-support.sh script?
Is it perhaps a reportable bug?
