Before submitting your issue or feature request. DO NOT REQUEST ASSISTANce FOR PRELOADED IMAGES. I do not support or condone the use of preloaded ArkOS images. Preloaded meaning images that come with copyrighted roms preincluded. Look for support from the creator or supplier of those preloaded images, not from here! If a ticket is submitted for assistance for such images or if there's an indiciation that a preloaded image is what the support request is for, the issue ticket will be closed with no further response.

  1. This is not the Stock OS that comes with your device, AmberElec, JelOS, or UnOfficialOS. ArkOS is a different distribution from those systems and will have differing features. The only somewhat similarity is that they both use EmulationStation as a frontend. Even with that, the versions of EmulationStation that's used in between ArkOS and these other distributions is different with different capabilities. If there are features you prefer with the other available distributions, just use those distributions instead. The choice is yours.

  2. Have you reviewed the Frequently Asked Questions section available for your supported device in the wiki? yes

  3. If your issue is related to being able to run certain emulators or ports, have you reviewed the Emulators and Ports section available at https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki/ArkOS-Emulators-and-Ports-information for needed bios files and supported rom extensions?

  4. Have you reviewed the known issues section available at https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki/Known-issues ? yes

    Describe the Issue (If applicable)

    A clear and concise description of what the bug is. I recently updated my RG351V (with V2 screen and the apropriate dtb file if that's of interest) to 09292024 from 08232024. When I boot up the device it now shows "No gamepads detected". The only working keys seem to be the volume, power and reset buttons.

I've read in this diff that there were some adjustments that sound like a similar issue.

How do I get my Anbernic working again?

How can the issue be reproduced? (If applicable)

What device are you using? (Only the Gameforce Chi, RK2020, OGA 1.0, OGA 1.1, RG351MP, RG351V, RGB10, R35s, RG353V/VS, RG353M, RG503, RGB30, and RK2023 units are officially supported)

RG351V

What version of ArkOS are you on?

09292024

Anything else you'd like to include that may help to review this issue or feature request?

Even weirder: I connected a USB-C hub with a USB keyboard to the second USB-C slot and it started up normally. All buttons seem to work. When I disconnect the hub and restart, I get "no gamepads detected" again.

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

I am able to access the console with the USB-hub and keyboard. I did update from 08232024 to 09292024 and I'll now look into the SDL files changed within this update. That update included 09272024 of course, which changed quite a bit more, including the SDL files.

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

workaround: I took a look at the Update-RG351V.sh and saw, that the last change to SDL files was made in the 05242024 version.

I now linked the SDL files back to these versions, as the may update did (see "Install and link new SDL 2.0.3000.3 (aka SDL 2.0.30.3)"):

sudo ln -sfv /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libSDL2.so /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0
sudo ln -sfv /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.3000.3 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libSDL2.so
sudo ln -sfv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libSDL2.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libSDL2-2.0.so.0
sudo ln -sfv /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.3000.3 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libSDL2.so

Everything is working fine again. This should of course still be adressed as I'm sure I won't be the only one encountering this error, if this stays unchanged in the current update.

I have a v1 unit and the latest update works fine on my unit. Did you make sure your unit was sufficiently charged? Low battery can cause the gamepad to not be detected on the 351v units.

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

It was charged around 80%

Do you have a spare sd card that you can load the 351v image and update that and see if the issue happens again?

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

Will do👍🏻

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

I now did a fresh ArkOS install on a Samsung 256GB Pro microSD from the latest image, replaced the dtb and updated to the latest version. That all worked flawlessly.

christianhaitian commented 1 month ago

Ok. I suspect it was the occasional no gamepad bug that the 351v sometimes has. The 351p and 351m units also had that issue but it was much worse on the 351p/m units versus the 351v. Thanks for confirming the updates works fine with the latest update on the v2 unit.

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

I hope it won't break again on the next update😅

christianhaitian commented 1 month ago

I doubt it breaks if there's a future sdl2 update. It will just be an issue that may require a few reboots. Typical for this unit since it has a usb controller.

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

I can change the links again to test it but I am pretty sure it was due to the SDL version. Especially since it worked multiple times with a keyboard connected while it did not work without it in between.

christianhaitian commented 1 month ago

So why were you able to update on a new sd card without issue?

TheColin21 commented 1 month ago

That's the question 😅 I am also pretty sure it's not just due to the SDL version.... probably several factors combined. Or I could create some checksum. Maybe the file got corrupted (although that would also be surprising)
