      Hello,

      I need your help to troubleshoot a quite annoying issue on my bartop.

      My config:

      • Raspberry PI4
      • Kit joystick(Zippy)/buttons with USB encoder card Xinmotek
      • Recalbox version: 7.2.1

      The problem:
      Quite often, it seems the signal is lost between my controls (joystick and buttons) for 2 seconds, and it come back working automatically.
      It seems the last switch pressed is still active for the game, for instance on metal slug, the character is still walking even if I stop pushing the joystick on the right.
      It happens for the 2 players at the same time.
      So I guess it's linked to the USB encoder card...

      My tests:

      • Same issue on differents PI USB ports.
      • Same issue with another USB cable.

      If you have any idea or tests to perform !

      Thank you for you help !

          I have just performed a new test :

          • Install an emulator (FBA) on my PC and plug the Xinmotek.
            => It's working without any problem

          So I guess the issue is on the Raspberry side...
          Hard or soft?
          Recalbox config to update?

          Thank you 😊

            @zekelu Try a factory reset, and then remap the controls.
            With the factory reset you will lose all personalized settings, but keep your personal files (ROMS / BIOS / SAVES).

              @zing Thank you for your answer.
              I just reset to factory settings as you suggest, but unfortunately it doesn't help. The issue is still the same.

                @zekelu Well, I haven't seen any similar reports, and I don't have this joystick, so I don't know how to help.
                If you want, you can post a comment on the topic dedicated to version 7.2.1, so that maybe some user will help you:

                  @zing OK thank you, I will open an issue as it's not linked to the v7.2.1.
