      Hi
      I have the next problem. If I try to use an external storage using the two options that recalbox gives to do this every time i start a game the gamepads, in my case two different 8bitdo models are not recognized into the game ans I have to restart the gamepad.

      If I use only the internal storage for the roms there is no problem with the gamepads.
      I tried to use different external storages and switch between the two options of external storages but every time I have the same problem.
      So I would like to know if there is something that I can do to use external storage without affecting my gamepads.

      I am using a raspberry pi 4

        Buy a Raspberry Pi 3B+
        Install Recalbox 6
        Buy a Logitech F310 Joypad and connect it to the Raspberry
        Connect a 250GB external HDD to the Raspberry
        Put Games on HDD
        Play

        Works fine for me since Years !

            Maybe it's a Disk checking probleme,

            I'd same probleme with RB 7.2.1,
            i plug the disk on PC and make a chkdsk or disque checking, it's say me no trouble found,
            unplug properly the disk with eject it
            and replug them on RB and after all thing return in normal place

            i thing some time the disk don't land correctly or you shut down to rapidly RB

            it's my 5 cent idea and it's work for me but cant know if it's same thing for you

            Cheers

              Hi

              I found that the issue it is not because the use of an external storage.

              I reset to factory default and then not using external storage if I match the gamepads the work correctly the problem triguers if I try to remap the buttons using configure control pad then I have the problem that I post and when they work the special key select works wrong because it changes shaders everytime i push it
