Controller input not working in px68k core (x68000 emulator)

[skylow1]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

In recent versions (as I tested, from 1.20.0 ~ 1.22.1) for px68k core, no key is working in x68000 games.
However, in old version such as 1.15.0 I tested, key is normally working in game.

Expected behavior

Please make normal in recent version so that input key is working in game such as 1.22.1 or newer.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. In px68k_libretro.dll core, no key in game is not working, which means even if I input any key there would be no action or response in game.
2. For example, I tested Bosconian. But in other games, there is same issue.

Hi,

Can you provide some log as mentioned in the template issue ?

Also by checking with nightly build Linux or Windows.

Present in the nightly version*
Is the issue reproducible with current nightly builds ?

Can't reproduce the issue on Linux with latest.

Thank you.

Hi, Please find attached files for log in case of followings. - key input not working : played with px68k core included in 1.21.0 - key input working : played with px68k core included in 1.15.0 I don't understand why this problem happens. Except the px68k core (0.15+ 4c7542e) included in 1.15.0, every px68k core does not allow key input in game works normally. For example, any key input (e.g. A/B/X/Y/start/select key) to start game is not responding during title screen after BOSCONIAN (for example) is started in case of "retropad" or "retrokeyboard". Exactly same issue in case that I tested in Windows 11 and Steamdeck version. Therefore, I have to use old core version (0.15+ 4c7542e) included in retroarch 1.15.0 in order to play px68k core games (x68000) even in retroarch latest verstion such as 1.21.0 or 1.22.0. Of course, other all core can be used as the core version included in latest retroarch as it is. Regards.

If you can compile yourself try updating the libretro-common in the source tree of the core compile and test. The core hasnt been updated for a while.
