Keyboard and Controller not working at Windows start Empty Keyboard and Controller not working at Windows start

Hello to all retro games fans, my name is Tobias and I'm from Germany so sorry for my bad english. Very Happy
Thanks to the developers Retrobat works great!

I am using Windows 10 and Retrobat 5.1.1 .
Now to my problem Mad
when I autostart Retrobat, my Keyboard and Controllers don't work. If I use the keyboard in another program, for example in Task Manager, both work perfectly. Does anyone have an idea of ​​what that could be?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

It might be a focus problem, you see the Retrobat screen but it does not have the focus in windows, can you try with the mouse to click in the retrobat windows, and then push the keyboard keys ?

Regards

PS: please choose an AVATAR

The problem isn't with the mouse, it works all the time. If I operate Rertrobat with the mouse, nothing changes. The keyboard and the controller only work when I use the keyboard in another program. Then it can't be the focus, right?

Can you delete rename the file retrobat\emulationstation\.emulationstation\es_input.cfg to es_input.old and try again ?
It should prompt you to reconfigure your in RetroBat when you launch it.

Also, can you ensure you have the SDL2.dll file in the retrobat\emulationstation\ folder ?

Hello, I solved it,
it's the Ps3-Controller-Driver for Windows (ScpToolkit) that doesn't run smoothly. I noticed it when I had the usb dongle out at startup. I've now got 2 XBox controllers with which it works perfectly. However thank you for your help! Very Happy
