N64 emulator does not launch when certain gamepad is connected

[qawert]

Hey everybody,

I'm using recalbox 4.0.2 on a raspberry pi 3 and I have encouterd some difficulties with the n64 emulator.
When I'm playing with my xbox 360 gamepad everything works fine. But i recently bought some generic usb controllers (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B017DD4B9C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and if one of these controllers is connected to the pi I cannot launch games with the n64 emulator.
I can navigate to the list with all the games but if I want to start a game there is this short recalbox loading screen and then I return to the list to select a game.

All the other emulators seem to work...

Any ideas on how to fix this problem would be highly appreciated

Is your controller on the list?

Thanks for your reply!
Yeah I think it should be the RetroUSB SNES pad.

The funny thing is I can configure the controller normally and even play games on other emulators with the controller connected.

When the SNES-pad and the xbox-controller is connected to the pi I cannot launch the n64 emulator and if I unplug the SNES-pad I can launch it normally without rebooting the pi or anything.

So I'm really confused...

EDIT: on the german amazon link some people even mention that they use this gamepad for recalbox and it works fine...

@qawert when both pads are plugged, which pad is the 1st players ? the x360 one or the other ? Just out of curiosity, try forcing the x360 pad first and tell me if it worked.

If not, I'd need you to do a few commands to check what failed

[qawert]

@Substring thanks for your reply!

I tried forcing the x360 pad to be controller one and it's still the same problem

[Substring]

@qawert ok. So by SSH, relaunch ES /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation restart then make a pastebin of the output once you launched the rom that crashed.

@Substring

/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation restart

@qawert you don't have the X key mapped on a pad

[qawert]

@Substring haha ok I alway used the x-button as the hotkey... Didn't knwo this could be a problem but now I'm a bit embarassed.

Thanks so much for helping me out!

[Substring]

@qawert use select as hotkey
