Hello @findyournexus,
It sounds like you're experiencing some frustration with your Raspberry Pi 4, particularly with your SN30 Pro controller suddenly becoming unresponsive in-game software after encountering a notification box while playing Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out on the NES emulator.
First off, it's great that you've been able to navigate and use the system for a few weeks without any issues. However, encountering this problem can be frustrating, especially if you're not tech-savvy.
It's possible that the notification box you saw could have triggered a change in settings or configurations that affected the controller's functionality in game software. Since you've already tried re-pairing and configuring the controller multiple times without success, it might be worth exploring other troubleshooting steps.
One thing you could try is to check the settings within the NES emulator specifically, as well as any system-wide settings related to controllers or input devices. Sometimes, there may be options or configurations that need to be adjusted to ensure compatibility with different controllers.
If you're not comfortable navigating through these settings or making changes, you could consider reaching out to the community on the recalbox forum for assistance. Some likely other users have encountered similar issues and may be able to provide guidance or suggestions for resolving the problem.
Selling the system might be an option, but it's worth exploring troubleshooting steps and seeking assistance first to see if the issue can be resolved. With a bit of patience and help from the community, you may be able to get your SN30 Pro working with games again.
