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

      #!/bin/sh
      if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
      then
      sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
      sudo /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 \

      --ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
      --ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
      
      &
      fi

        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    \
                --evdev /dev/input/event0 \
                --silent \
                --detach-kernel-driver \
                --force-feedback \
                --deadzone-trigger 15% \
                --deadzone 4000 \
                --mimic-xpad \
                --evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start,KEY_#108=du,KEY_#106=dr,KEY_#103=dd,KEY_#105=dl \
                --ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
                --ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
                
                &
                

                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

                Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
                  /dev/input/js2
                  /dev/input/event4
                
                Press Ctrl-C to quit
                

                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

                  Please excuse my ignorance. I'm not sure how to get a command line after I select scummvm from the retropie menu. Do I start scummvm on the retropie menu then ssh into the unit and run the command?

                      Sorry about that. Will this still work at the opening scummvm screen? That's as far as I can get. I don't have any games loaded because I can't move the cursor to load them. This is all I get.

                        yes if you put this in the ssh it will come up with something

                        then
                        sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                        sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv    \
                        --evdev /dev/input/event0 \
                        --silent \
                        --detach-kernel-driver \
                        --force-feedback \
                        --deadzone-trigger 15% \
                        --deadzone 4000 \
                        --mimic-xpad \
                        --evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start,KEY_#108=du,KEY_#106=dr,KEY_#103=dd,KEY_#105=dl \
                        --ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
                        --ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
                        
                        &
                        
                        

                        if all works then this will come up as soon as you hit enter

                          Here are the results.

                          Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
                            /dev/input/js0

                          After that I was able to get the directional stick to work and the buttons.  Once I restarted the unit it stopped working again.  I'm guessing something from the code needs to be added or changed.  Thanks for taking the time to help.  Looks like we or more you might be close to fixing the issue.

                            that is great, so the hard part is done and over with. now we just need to get it to start when you start scummvm

                            so now you need to have it look like this in your runcommand-onstart.sh

                            #!/bin/sh
                            
                            if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
                            then
                            sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                            sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
                                --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
                            	--silent \
                            	--detach-kernel-driver \
                            	--force-feedback \
                            	--mimic-xpad \
                            	--dpad-as-button \
                                    --deadzone 15% \
                            	--trigger-as-button \
                            

                            of course change what needs to be changed, but the top few lines are needed to have the mapping auto start.

                            post what you have in your runcommand-onstart.sh and i will take a look if it still not starting

                                is that all that you have in the run command? if you are missing a few things

                                  Yes. I just copied from guide and changed the button numbers.

                                    ok that is why it is not working. there are commands that are needed before the keymapping

                                    here is the complete runcommand-onstart.sh ( of course you just replace the mapping here with the one that we got working for you)

                                    #!/bin/sh
                                    
                                    ## Name of the emulator
                                    echo $1 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                    
                                    ## Name of the software used for running the emulation
                                    echo $2 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                    
                                    ## Name of the rom
                                    echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                    
                                    ##Executed command line
                                    echo $4 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

                                    and the runcommand-onend.sh

                                    #!/bin/sh

                                    sudo pkill -CONT python

                                      I'm really confused now with the runcommand-onend.sh. Here is what I have for the onstart.

                                            Still no luck. Here is my onstart setup.

                                            Here are my onend settings.

                                            #!/bin/sh
                                            
                                            sudo killall >/dev/null xboxdrv
                                            
                                            sudo pkill -CONT python
                                            
                                            

                                            I'm not sure why it's not working now.
