Sorry, I should have explained better. I do have controllers connected to the GPIO board, NES in this case that work with Emulation Station and RetroArch. If I launch a ROM (Zelda), it works great! Now if I try to launch another (Mario Bros), I have no controls once the ROM loads.
I thought it was odd that I also lost the keyboard too. If I stop the service I still don’t have controller input (of course), but I get keyboard control again.
It seems as if ROMs like Mario Bros are not working with SNESDev. This is the only one I have found so far, going go through all the others and see if there are others.
Edit: I should also add, with SNESDev running I can use the controller to trigger the hotkey exit RetroArch combo to take me back to Emulation Station…
Is it possible that a ROM is not using the retroarch.cfg in the folder for that system? The hotkey and exit are in configs/all, the controls for the NES and SNES are in their respective folders…
Been going through testing and so far Super Mario Bros is the only NES ROM not working…
Odder still, on the SNES side Super Mario World buttons don’t work on the menu, game select, or map screen. You have to hold another button down (one of the shoulder buttons or start) then you can move/press start. BUT all the controls work fine within the level… The odd part is if I connect the NES controller, I don’t have that issue… I can push start and begin playing…
