Gamepad mapping issue resolved it turned out to be a 'xpad' driver that comes with the Retropie image. Please read more here if you have this problem, https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki/wiki/Controllers#controller-problems-with-retropie

In the Preferences window I've added a text field to put the full path of a local gamepad remapping file.
Here are my instructions for how to create a remap file.
There seem to be some issues with certain controllers (xbox?) and I'm not yet sure why. Using the remapping system will let you work around that. Might only be a problem with Retropie image installs?

Added rudimentary functionality to start Chiaki from a non desktop(x11) environment. See these instructions
This build has also be pulled from the Main dev's master so it includes all the latest.
Unfortunately it seems like the XBox controllers don't work properly with this build. I want to fix this at some point.

Pulled the new version 2 of the Master that has PS5 support! :D I don't have access to one myself so haven't been able to test it but it should work.
1080p resolution should also work now. If you had the grey or black screen before please try with the latest version. It seems like the bigger bit rates or packet sizes cause an increase in cpu load so if you have an older model Pi beware. Then maybe try go down to 720p instead.

Back now to not needing the special Qt5.12 install! :)
I got inspired by people reporting that regular apt Qt5 worked so I tried harder.
Wiki updated with this.
I tested the new Raspbian update that switches to use PulseAudio and that worked out of the box from the Chiaki side. No change needed you can just keep using 'default'.

2/12/20

Update to fix buggy controller behaviour where the input sometimes got stuck spamming IMU/Motion data into the regular controls. At other times I wasn't able to get the controller to work at all. This update fixes that.
You can now use the DS4 touchpad to toggle Full screen mode by double tapping it.

I had to revert back to using Qt5.12 as I haven't found any standard Raspbian Qt5 packages that makes the Audio work yet. Let me know if you have the solution that avoids Qt5.12 install.

20/11/20

Added Audio Output device selection menu in the settings that also have a better defaulting system for Raspbian.
The "default" choice should equal "Alsa".
This enabled me to drop the need for a special Qt5.12 install.
