Buttons are pressed without touching them!!

[Substring]

@saver run evtest for each input and see which one is doing that mess

[saver]

@substring can you please give me directions how to run evtest because i m not so familiar with this. Thanks in advance

[Substring]

@saver ssh to your recalbox, type evtest, then test input 0 to see if there are some events happening by themselves with no user action. Press CTRL+C, try then with input 1 etc ...

In the end, give me the name of the input(s) that had ghost inputs

[saver]

@substring thank you very much but i need additional help. I run evtest then i press 0 and then i don t know what to do. How can i understand if some events are happening by themselves with no user action?

[Substring]

@saver they'd just pop after the description of known events the input reports

[saver]

@substring i run evtest via putty and i took a photo to show you the results. I couldn t copy the text. How can i upload a photo please?

@saver nothing happens after the "Testing..." You should try events 2 and 3. By tthe way, are you using the GPIO controllers as you have a xinmo ?

I got the same problem but only in Kody, with "Zero delay" arcade joystick

[saver]

@substring how do i continue to event 2 or 3? And sorry but i didn t understad your question. I use the xin mo set - 18buttons. I bought it from ultracabs while i was following orders from here http://www.instructables.com/id/2-Player-Bartop-Arcade-Machine-Powered-by-Pi/ . Ps. Thank you for your patience with me and for your answers and realy sorry for my awful english

@saver use the recalbox webmanager to edit recalbox.conf and disable the gpio driver. Set controllers.gpio.enabled to 0

[saver]

@substring i have this image to my sdcard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kklTCp8HZBo and i can t find to the menu the recalbox webmanager to edit recalbox.conf. I tried from the config text but i didn t find "controllers.gpio.enabled"
I made two arcade cabinet with the same setup and i have this problem only in one of them. Do you thing that if i disable the gpio driver i will fix it?

[Substring]

@saver i'm not doing any support for unofficial images

[saver]

@substring i am really sory but i didn t know that it was unofficial. I just made a resaearch for a recalbox image 32 gb like my sd card. I am not so familiar with all those things. I ll try with the official way. Anyway thank you very much for your help.

@saver The official image is here: https://archive.recalbox.com/

[saver]

@oyyodams thank you very much. I hope with the ofdicial image to solve the problem.

[saver]

Hello again. I install the official recalbox image but i still have the same problem. Here is what is written to recalbox.conf. The gpio controllers are already set to 0. Do i have to put # in the beggining of the sentence?

------------ D2 - GPIO Controllers ------------

GPIO Controllers

enable controllers on GPIO with mk_arcarde_joystick_rpi (0,1)

controllers.gpio.enabled=0

mk_gpio arguments, map=1 for one controller, map=1,2 for 2 (map=1,map=1,2)

controllers.gpio.args=map=1,2

[NeeeeB]

@saver Nope, no need to comment the line, it's set to 0 so it is disabled.

[saver]

@substring can you please tell me if now there is something wrong with my setup. The only thing i haven t replaced yet is the screen. Here is my bartop cabinet ant the results of the new evtest

@saver can you run again evtest with device 1 instead of 0 ?
