Reply To: UAE4ALL + Pi 2

I think I have discovered what the problem is with the black screen on UAE4all. I have now managed to get the emulator to work. The problem is the PS3 controller. (I use a PS3 controller via bluetooth.)

I booted up Retropie with only my keyboard connected, I used the keys to navigate emulation station’s menus and boot up the Amiga emulator. Suddenly all games loaded perfectly, no black screen anymore.
If I go back and reboot Retropie with the controller connected the frozen black screen returns when I try to load an Amiga game. However, if I turn off the controller while I’m still stuck in the black screen, the game will boot the instant the controller switches off.
Once I have loaded a game for the first time I seem to be then able to reconnect the controller again. I can then go back to the menu and boot other games without further black screen errors.

I’ve only just discovered this and haven’t so far attempted to play any of these games, but they do now load up. The Amiga could have other PS3 controller problems which I’m not aware of yet, but hopefully this will help others who may be suffering with this same black screen error.
