      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
                /dev/input/event1
              
              Press Ctrl-C to quit
              
              
              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
                        
                        if [ "$1" = "videopac" ]
                        then
                        sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                        sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
                            --evdev /dev/input/event3 \

                        and the runcommand-onend.sh

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

                          
                          ## Name of the emulator

                                Still no luck. Here is my onstart setup.

                                ##!/bin/sh

                                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.

                                  is your controller event 2 or 0 ?

                                  your earier post when you ran cat /proc/bus/input/devicesit came up with event 0

                                    It's probably event 0. I think I copied the text from one of the reply's and didn't change it. I thought it was supposed to be event 2. I will try it when I get home.

                                      I changed it back to event0 but still not working. I have tried event0, event1, and event2. I'm so confused.

                                        that makes two of us.

                                        just one quick question where do you have the runcommand files placed in your pie?

                                        try this

                                        To fully round out this section on key-mapping, it should be mentioned that in some scenarios, the keyboard that xbmc virtualizes may not be recognized as being a keyboard by the software you intend to use it with. In this situation, you can create a udev rule that will authenticate the input as being from an actual keyboard at a system level, allowing it to function anywhere. To add this udev rule, drop to the command line and type:

                                        sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xboxdrv.rules

                                        Press 'Enter" and type the following:

                                        SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="Microsoft X-Box 360 pad", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"

                                        Now press 'ctrl+o' to save the file, 'Enter' to confirm and 'ctrl+x' to exit.
                                        if that dont work then we need to view the log file to see why

                                        you will have to use WinSCP to dive into your Pie and view the /dev.shm/runcommand.log there.

                                        other then that i done know. from my end you have everything set correctly

                                          The xboxdrv.rules was already present. The runcommand files are located in opt/retropie/config/all. Here is a pic of all the files in the folder.

                                          0_1510097299534_runcommand folders.JPG

                                          I can't find a runcommand.log file. I have searched the whole system. Where would I find the file?
