system ignores all inputs after starting game

[EnderMelody]

os version: rogue os 1.22
system: gdk pixel 2

system was working fine for a while, but today for some reason when i started a game i have played before the controls completely locked up and i cant even shut the system down. no real idea why this happened and the only clue i really have is that when i started the game a retroarch popup appeared saying something about no controls configured. after some fiddling i managed to get the power button to put it to sleep but this unfortunately does not help and i am still locked out of shutting the system down this way. ive tried removing the sd card but still no change. not really sure what to do from here other then wait for the battery to eventually die. any error logs i can send you to help?

kinda found a solution. i plugged the system in to see if the charging ui would interrupt the problem (which it didnt). i then tried to put it to sleep while plugged in which didnt work. luckily that means that the power button would no longer register as sleep so i tried holding it again and it turned the system off. system seems fine now and loaded the same game correctly.

tldr: plug in the system and hold button to power off the system.

this has sadly wiped all of my save files

messed around with the system. i believe it for some reason corrupted the retroarch config which ended up locking the system down when a game was opened. not sure why it was messing with the power button though. saves and everything were still there just seemes like it regened the config which pointed to the wrong save location. ended up having to reinstall the os to fix everything and forgot to look for any logs so unfortunately i no longer have the logs. ill keep the issue open as something still happened to break it but im not sure how much can be done about this until it happens again.
