      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.

        
        I: Bus=0005 Vendor=2dc8 Product=3810 Version=0100
        N: Name="8Bitdo FC30 Pro"
        P: Phys=b8:27:eb:47:c7:78
        S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/soc/3f201000.uart/tty/ttyAMA0/hci0/hci0:11/0005:2DC8:3810.0005/input/input6
        U: Uniq=e4:17:d8:7a:6a:7d
        H: Handlers=js2 event6
        B: PROP=0
        B: EV=1b
        B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
        B: ABS=30627
        B: MSC=10
        

        ls /dev/input/by-id/ will look like this

        
        pi@retropie:~ $ ls /dev/input/by-id/
        usb-1d57_ad02-event-kbd         usb-_Mini_Keyboard-event-kbd

        usb-1d57_ad02-if01-mouse        usb-_Mini_Keyboard-if01-mouse
        

        evtest /dev/input/event[•] will pull 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.

                #!/bin/sh
                sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
                     --evdev /dev/input/event0 \
                    --silent \
                    --detach-kernel-driver \
                    --force-feedback \
                    --deadzone-trigger 15% \
                    --deadzone 4000 \
                    --mimic-xpad \
                    --evdev-absmap ABS_[•]=x1,ABS_[•]=y1,ABS_[•]=x2,ABS_[•]=y2,ABS_[•]=lt,ABS_[•]=rt,ABS_[•]=dpad_x,ABS_[•]=dpad_y \
                    --evdev-keymap BTN_[•]=a,BTN_[•]=b,BTN_[•]=x,BTN_[•]=y,BTN_[•]=lb,BTN_[•]=rb,BTN_[•]=tl,BTN_[•]=tr,BTN_[•]=guide,BTN_[•]=back,BTN_[•]=start \
                    &
                

                so you have a anlog joystick on your controller? or is it just buttons

                  Thanks. I will work on it this evening when I get home. The controller is in the picture. It has an analog joystick and buttons. The buttons are from a super nintendo controller board I cut up and the analog joystick is from the raspberry pi store. Here is the guide to what I made.

                  https://learn.adafruit.com/super-game-pi

                  I don't think the joystick is an actual analog movement joystick. Looks like it's just up, down, left, right.

                    ok cool

                    the only think that might be a hang up will be the fact is that you do no have any ABS or anglog movement which is used for the mouse movement.

                    but i think it still should work with just buttons, we will cross that when the time comes. if need be we can ask the god of keymapping.

                      I completed both steps of creating the runcommand-onend.sh and runcommand-onstart.sh. Based on what I posted above for my controller layout does this look correct for the keys?

                      --evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,BTN_[•]=tl,BTN_[•]=tr,BTN_[•]=guide,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start
                      &

                      If so, where do I assign the keys for direction? According tho the results I got they would be keys 108, 103, 105, 106.

                      Thanks for your help.

                        so far it is looking good
                        you can remove BTN_[•]=tl,BTN_[•]=tr,BTN_[•]=guide

                        for your d pad it will look like this BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl
                        replace the BTN with your key number

                        as for getting it to work with the mouse im still looking it to

                          When I add the directions do they go in the same line as the others?

                            yes.

                            you keep everything that goes with the first part in the same line.
                            --evdev-keymap is for keys and buttons.

                                I'm still not getting anything to work. I am using scummvm sdl1 if that matters.

                                I also tried regular scummvm.

                                  you have most of it right but there are a few things that were needed
                                  try this

                                  #!/bin/sh

                                    I'll give it a shot this evening. On a side note, how do you get the code to show up in the black box on here?

                                      before what you want in the box you put ```

                                      and if you want red you put `

                                        I pasted the code word for word but I still don't get any movement when I launch scummvm and the buttons do not seem to do anything either. Is there something else I can check? Would it help if I posted some settings or something?

                                          I did find out that the xboxdrv was not installed. The original directions I found were old and the menus had changed. I figured out the location and installed it but still no controller response.

                                            when you are running the game you can put this on the command line.

                                            then
                                            sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                                            sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv    \

                                            this will force it to start and if there is any errors it will come up.

                                            if it is working it will pop up something like this

                                            if nothing comes up then there is something else not working. i did try the mapping i gave you so i know there are no errors on it for my system at least
