Physical gamepades still visible, after installation as systemuser

[Dogy007]

So i installed MoltenGamepad and used the installation script for "systemuser". The service works fine , but the system still sees the physical controller. My Setup: Version: retropie 4.3 Udev: 215 controller: joycons I followed the instructions to comment out the correct line in /lib/udev/rules.d/70-uaccess.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}=="?*", TAG+="uaccess"

Also the compiled moltengamepad is placed in /usr/local/bin/moltengamepad. I am wondering if i need to comment out some more lines in /liv/udev/rules.d ?

Following files exist in this folder by default in retropie 4.3 10-local-rpi.rules
15-i2c-modprobe.rules
15-rfkill.rules
40-usb_modeswitch.rules
42-usb-hid-pm.rules

90-usbmount.rules 95-udev-late.rules 97-hid2hci.rules 99-systemd.rules I added those rules as a zip folder, also willing to search these myself, if someone tells me what to look for ;)

When i try to pair my joycons as "pair" or single nothing happens, still the physical devices are detected. I could also provide more informations , i would like to be helping with this issue where i can.

I just tested with Retropie 4.4, which has udev version 232 and it works fine.

Hello. I'm currently doing a summer internship 8 time zones away from my home, so my time has been stretched a bit thin as of late. I also don't currently have access to a Pi.

Supporting versions of udev under 217 is always going to be a bit of a hack. Taking only the briefest of looks right now, the files in rules.zip appear to be fine:

• The relevant line in 70-uaccess.rules is commented out
• There isn't an obvious culprit of a later rule conflicting.

So I don't know for sure what is happening.

Some useful diagnostics:

• Do the permissions of the device nodes appear correct? With the udev rules in place, even without MG running, we should see the /dev/input/{event,js} nodes corresponding to the physical controllers being assigned ownership to the gamepad account. I believe for joycon we also want the relevant /dev/hidraw node.
• Is uaccess successfully being prevented? Try to open these nodes with an unpriviliged user account, and you should fail.
• Are the MG udev rules actually being triggered? Please check that there isn't a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-uaccess.rules file that is shadowing the one changed in /lib/. If you really want to delve into debugging the rules, udevadm test <syspath> is handy. Note that you need a syspath like /sys/class/input/js0, a device path like /dev/input/js0 won't work with this command.
