Buttons not working - USB works

[majestictragedy]

Hey there

Yesterday I updated the opt packages since then the controllers of my gba aren't working anymore. A keyboard via USB still works.
Did I reset a configuration with the update?

Thanks for answering.

Yes, this is a known issue.

See: https://forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=4641 or https://forum.freeplaytech.com/showthread.php?tid=4643 etc.

With the keyboard, hit F4 after bootup. Then do the 'sudo dkms' commands mentioned in the other threads and reboot once they are done.

Thx for the reply. I followed the steps you suggested. But the buttons still not working only usb keyboard.

Do you have another idea?

Can you show me the output from the following commands (even just a photo from your phone or something)?

ls /usr/src/
sudo dkms build -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.6
sudo dkms install -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.6

(keep in mind that the number 0.1.5.6 might need to change based on the result of the 'ls /usr/src/' command)

Use the usb keyboard to remap the buttons. Go to main menu/configure input and remap the buttons

Sorry for my bad English

Which menu do you mean? The retropie menu?

From your 'ls' output, you can see that mk_arcade_joystick_rpi-0.1.5.7 is the latest (highest) version.

Please try:

sudo dkms build -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.7
sudo dkms install -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.7

and then reboot and let me know if it works after that.

But I installed it already still not working after reboot. What I am doing wrong?

That's interesting.  Okay.  Please try this, then.

Code:

sudo dkms remove -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5 --all
sudo dkms remove -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.5 --all
sudo dkms remove -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.6 --all
sudo dkms remove -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.7 --all

sudo dkms build -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.7
sudo dkms install --force -m mk_arcade_joystick_rpi -v 0.1.5.7

I have seen it once or twice before where it somehow gets confused about versions.  The above commands should try to remove all the potential old versions.  Then it should build the latest version and then try to install it (forcefully).  I sure hope this works.  I don't know why it would be confused, though.

EDIT: Actually, I know why it had a problem when you first did the update. I wonder if after that you ended up accidentally trying to install an old version and that's what got it confused about which version it was supposed to install and use.
