I have the controller in my 2nd post. A seperate user in amazon review confirms it to work with the retropi (I also confirm, see below). My first thought as well that it might have been the controller. However I also get the problem with a generic microsoft keyboard with no controller attached and vice versa.

In version 2.6 both devices are seen, both work, and no configuration outside of mapping for emulationstation specifically. I know this because it doesn’t ask to map x and y and they both buttons work in the retroarch backend out of the box.

EDIT:
Is there a log or something you want me to gather? I am willing to try re-flashing so it can be addressed. I would like to stay on the current version if possible.

So I went and downloaded the 2.6 version from
https://www.petrockblock.com/retropie/retropie-downloads/
and that seems to work just fine, I guess I’ll stick with that. And aside from expanding the rootfs it works as expected right out of the box. Real nice work guys! I mean that.

Given that it works on 2.6 and not beta 4 on the B+ would lead me to believe that this specific image might be broken. That or whatever it is thats different with my setup is throwing it off. Looking through all the tutorials, everyone references the B+ would work in the same manor as RP2, but none of them were actually using a B+

I tried it again tonight. Giving each action a deliberate delay in excess of 1 min each. It does not continue, I can F4 into terminal so the device isn’t locked up but something is obviously wrong.

I took a snapshot of the problem and attached it to this post.

Please help.

‘a’ was one of the buttons I tried pressing and even holding. It never goes any further. I’ve waited 5+ min looking for any type of change. The screen even went into powersave mode waiting for progress to continue. This applies to both the keyboard and the USB gamepad.

I’m using this gamepad, one of the reviewers said specifically it worked with retropi, that’s why I got it.
