Hi mturcotte,

Like yourself I got a new Qnap on the back of the possibilities that appeared to be achievable with retroarch installed on a QNAP. However after doing countless hours of searching to resolve issues that were never resolved it would appear that we have been duped.
I have now given up and put the QNAP down to experience as if you actually listen with hindsight to some of the YouTube videos they actually do sound more like a sales pitch which I fell for at the time. I suppose it’s the modern way of creating demand and increasing hardware sales of a product.
Well we fell for it :oops:

QNAP has youtube videos praising it as a retroarch gaming machine?

Why would you buy a nas for that? ..A NAS is for data storage ..everything else is just extra

I am rebuilding version 1.9.0 with new libs and latest core (may be the HDStation update version)

Please note i do not touch the retroarch.cfg ..; you need to set it on your need ( .qpkg/RetroArch/etc/retroarch.cfg )

Hopefully 1.9.0 controllors will work with *53d HD Station.
The standard .cfg file does recognise a PS3 controller added but when inserted into USB socket the retouch display goes into an unstoppable scroll.

Hopefully someone with better knowledge than I will identify the fix.

This is the result when the standard PS 3 controllers added to any of the USB ports on the Qnap.

Thanks for the help QNAP_Stephane

it detects Ps3 Controller correctly but scrolls when Xboxdrv is not installed.
If I install xboxdrv8.8.2 it no longer regonises the PS3 controller when iserted into the USB port and wont respond to the ps3 controller at all.
if I go driver/joystick its set to udel I have tried changing this to HID & others but still no difference.
I keep trying new settings until I loose complete control of cursor with remote desktop and still no joypad.
I then need to unistall retroarch and begin again........................
Been stuck at this point for some time and unable to find the fix.

Installed 1.9.0 but it lags badly on HD station to the point where I cannot configure using Hybrid Deskstation.
Never had this issue with 1.8.8 in the past. Is it possible to get a copy of 1.8.8 to confirm the issue is with 1.9.0 ?

Thanks ive just reinstalled 1.8.8 and that also has the same issue now.
I have now completely factory reset & wiped HDDs but Hybrid Deskstation is still lagging beyond useable. Anyone else having this since the recent update?
Failing that maybe my RAM ?
