@zing I finally got around to checking the links and trying the reset. I don't think the links will help as I definitely haven't created any custom controller configurations. Always used the standard. Sadly, the hard pad reset didn't work either. I'm at a loss! Tried another pad (generic USB) and hit the same issue.

@zing thank you for the detailed information. I'll give those links a proper look when I have a bit of spare time. Will look into that controller reset trick too seeing as I use the pad exclusively with recalbox. May get lucky with it.

@zing I did. Also tried mapping another button as the hotkey but that didn't work either. I've yet to try a different controller though. Using a PS4 pad at the moment so I'll try with something else when I get the chance.

@mazinga hey thanks for the reply. I sorted the settings issue by installing on a fresh SD. Think mine was a little long in the tooth.

Still have the hotkey problem though so I may need to dig into the settings to fix that perhaps? Never done that before.

@zing hey thanks for the reply. I was using a Sandisk 16gb Class 10. But I think it was having problems with data written to it.

Bought a new one and the settings issue seems to be fixed. Still seem to have lost my hotkey shortcuts though. I've heard a factory reboot could help there but tried that to no results. May give it another crack to make sure though.

Hey guys

So I updated to 8.1 recently and it seems to have come with several issues on my Pi 4.

The main one is that it isn't saving any of my settings after a restart. For example, I enter my Wi-Fi details and activate the Gameclip screensaver. Reboot and neither is saved so I have to do it all again each time to start my Pi.

Second issue is that my shortcuts don't seem to be working. I use a PS4 pad and was always able to press Hotkey + Square to save, Hotkey + Triangle to Load, etc. Now, the only shortcut that seems to be working is Hotkey + Start to exit the game.

Is anybody else having similar issues. I can't see anybody reporting them, which suggests it must be a problem on my end (hardware maybe?). I've already tried several SD cards and fresh installs but none of them solve the problems.
