          Is that a retroarch config that you linked? Because scummvm isn't part of that (as far as I know). I had to set up xboxdrv and mapped some keys to buttons on my pad, including using the analog stick as mouse.

            Yes, that's the retroarch config file. Would you care to tell me how to set up the xbox thing for scummvm? If I set that up will it effect my other systems?

              @bassman6805 It won't affect the other systems if you configure it correctly. Luckily the guide in the docs uses scummvm as example.

                @bassman6805 said in Scummvm controller help:

                I have used an xbox controller on my other pi and didn't have to do anything to get it to work.

                When was this? A year ago, ScummVM moved to version 1.9 which uses SDL2 as its backend. Users reported issues when using a joystick so the devs added the SDL1 version to RetroPie.

                Before you take the xboxdrv route, you may want to try installing scummvm-sdl1 from the RetroPie setup script and testing that.

                  Thanks. I do have the Scummvm sdl1 installed and still have the same problem. I am going to try the xboxdrv route and see if that works. I decided to backup my sd card before I changed anything and when I put it back in the pi it wouldn't boot. I'll have to figure out what's up with that first. Always something!

                      I'm hoping someone can maybe give some more detail on how to fix this. I read through the xboxdrv instructions and it seems way over my head. I don't even see the option to install the xboxdrv in the new version of retropie. Could someone look at my config file I posted and maybe tell me what to change or add?

                        if someone can help you get it installed. ( i cant im running a older version of Pie so for me it was in the driver option in the RetoPie setup).

                        i can help you with getting it mapped

                          It's my understanding that the xboxdrv installed automatically now in some of the newer versions but I could be mistaken.

                            oh, well that's cool.

                            let me know what you need help with when you try messing with mapping.
                            unless someone else has a better idea

                              Ok. Should I jump to section 3a of the guide you posted or do I need to do something else?

                                if you have what your controller is called and what the buttons pin outs read then yes.

                                if you dont then you want to start from the beginning.

                                  I don't know if it has a name. Here is what is in the config file.

                                  Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the "nul" bind, which disables the bind completely,

                                  rather than relying on a default.

                                  input_player1_a = "z"
                                  input_player1_b = "x"
                                  input_player1_y = "a"
                                  input_player1_x = "s"
                                  input_player1_start = "enter"
                                  input_player1_select = "escape"
                                  input_player1_l = "q"
                                  input_player1_r = "w"
                                  input_player1_left = "left"
                                  input_player1_right = "right"
                                  input_player1_up = "down"
                                  input_player1_down = "up"

                                  input_player1_l2 =

                                  input_player1_r2 =

                                  input_player1_l3 =

                                  input_player1_r3 =

                                  This is also the controller I am using. It works fine for everything else.

                                    hmmm
                                    well for mapping you need a bit more.

                                    you need to run this first so you can get the info that is needed

                                    cat /proc/bus/input/devices will pull up something like this.

                                      Ok. The only thing connected is a wireless usb hub. Here is what I get for the first one.

                                      I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0001
                                      N: Name="retrogame"
                                      P: Phys=
                                      S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input0
                                      U: Uniq=
                                      H: Handlers=kbd event0
                                      B: PROP=0
                                      B: EV=3
                                      B: KEY=1680 0 3000 d0030002

                                      The second and third commands I get "no such file or directory".

                                        I figured out the third command and got these results.

                                            ok good the second one is not a big deal. so no worries

                                            the next thing we need to do is start the mapping.

                                            as you read in the guide you will need to make a runcommand-onstart.sh and runcommand-onend.sh

                                            for runcommand-onend.sh you just need to follow what is in the guide, that will never change.

                                            the runcommand-onstart.sh is the one that will change, i will help you out with the start, once you play with it a little then i can point out what needs to be done to get it going

                                            [•] is where you will enter the keycode from your post above.
                                            --evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a is how you will need to enter it.
