    @pjft Thanks! Dream come true with this one. Installed and everything appears to be working great. I love the screen saver, the temps are running nicely and i have not issues with screen savers, text, or video previews. One item that is not a big deal and I solved for my build is the volume level of the screensaver videos compared to the volume of the video previews and actual games. I had to set my system volume to 92% in order to make the game and preview audio align with the screen saver audio. Originally the screen saver audio was playing about 2 times my game audio and it blew me away!
    Another thought to add to what I am sure is a very long list of wants and desires of many is the ability to have a custom screen saver/single screensaver. My thought here is that you keep the random video screen saver the way it is, but can you add another option that would run a video from a designated folder? We could then create a custom screen saver video, or simply put your favorite video in a folder location and only that video would play. I am thinking it would be fun to have a custom video i would create in adobe after affects similar to what we can do for the custom splash screens. - Anyways, like I said, that is a wish list item and by no means an immediate need or fix.

    Thank you for your hard work and to @fieldofcows for this addition to ES!

    Edit: @pjft Any thoughts on how this build of ES 0.6-ssctl might react to the new retropie 4.2? I am assuming that when i run the update all it will load the base ES and i will then go back in and replace with 0.6-ssctl. Just wondering if you have any thoughts before i give it a try. Thanks

    So just to confirm, this is still not working?

    I have the same exact setup and the issue I am having is my button mapping changes for player 1 but not player 2. Player 2 is working perfect.

    The config file is accurate and the lsusb command shows them both:

    Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick
    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick

    My config file is there too:

    /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads

    DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg

    input_device = "DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick "
    input_driver = "udev"
    input_l_btn = "2"
    input_load_state_btn = "2"
    input_start_btn = "8"
    input_exit_emulator_btn = "8"
    input_up_axis = "-3"
    input_a_btn = "5"
    input_b_btn = "4"
    input_reset_btn = "4"
    input_down_axis = "+3"
    input_r_btn = "6"
    input_save_state_btn = "6"
    input_r2_btn = "7"
    input_right_axis = "+0"
    input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
    input_x_btn = "1"
    input_menu_toggle_btn = "1"
    input_select_btn = "9"
    input_enable_hotkey_btn = "9"
    input_y_btn = "0"
    input_left_axis = "-0"
    input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"
    input_l2_btn = "3"

    Any thoughts?

    Haha no problem. I like the idea of doing this. It was just question as whether I would get any improvement in speed. Looking at some benchmarks, my SanDisk extreme sd card is a pretty good performer. But as I don't have the time to do extensive tests or benchmarks myself, I was wondering what other people had experienced in terms of read speed. Thank you for the links by the way.

    My best bet is not to launch EmulationStation until you press that button. Now, how you go about it would require some investigation - I suspect if anyone would have done it, you'd have an answer by now.

    Best of luck.

    Nevermind. Found it. Under Retroarch, it's quick menu -> options, then last option which is max players. Change from 2 to 4.

    @pnoeric you press it once then start pressing other keyboard keys. You will see a key number appear in the upper corner everytime you press a key.

    Well you could:

    Open the retroarch.cfg file of the emulator you're using and see if there is any button configuration in the file.

    Open the joystick configuration file of your controller and see if the key ID of the button down isn't being used by an another variable.

    The button could simple be broken.

    PS 4 controllers via USB don't need a extra driver, they should work like it is. Do you have the peripheral-joystick addon enabled ? If so, you can configure buttons in Kodi at System > Settings > System > Input > Configure attached controllers.
    http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Configure_controllers

    If after that it still doens't work, please post your Kodi log.

    I was sure not to touch the controller on boot. I learned that lesson from the wii andI'm positive its not the controller itself that is the problem. I bought it a few days ago and it works perfectly for everything else.
