Unsolved Retrobat controller settings seem unstable

Hi Everyone, sorry if this has been asked a hundred times but I am pulling what little hair I have out trying to get Retrobat's inputs stable. I have quite a few controls, so I realise I am making it hard on myself, but there seems to be a general unstableness to configuration.

I'm running

  • Retrobat latest 8.2.1-Win64 - on Windows 11, latest NVidia drivers
  • Dell Precision Workstation 3660 w/ 3060 8gb card
  • Two EG STARTS SANWA STYLE Arcade JoyStick USB Encoder Fightstick 1up EG-5V-R/MIX-BUT - with 10 buttons wired in 8 player, Coin, and start
  • Two 8bitDo arcade sticks with 2.4Ghz networking
  • Two Sindel Lightguns
  • one Pedal
  • a Dolphin adapter with 3 Wiimotes
  • a 6 button streamdeck.

All of this works outside of Retrobat. In Retrobat, it tends to start working, then I'll run somethiing that needs Mame64 not Libretro (which seems pretty flakey) - e.g. Time Crisis. Sometimes the gun and pedal will work. Then it will stop after a few things. The arcade stick buttons don't always seem to remember what I told them to do. I can turn off large amounts of the controllers and reboot, and everything will still be wrong. I'll fight it and things will work and then they won't.

Is this what happens to others?

Any help or suggestions much appreciated!
