      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 \
                    --silent \
                	--detach-kernel-driver \
                	--force-feedback \
                	--mimic-xpad \
                        --deadzone 15% \
                	--evdev-no-grab \
                	--dpad-as-button \
                	--trigger-as-button \
                	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
                	--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a,KEY_#305=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#312=lt,KEY_#313=rt,KEY_#310=lb,KEY_#311=rb,KEY_#317=tl,KEY_#318=tr,KEY_#314=back,KEY_#315=start \
                	--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
                        --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_UNKNOWN,b=KEY_UNKNOWN,start=KEY_UNKNOWN,back=KEY_UNKNOWN,x=KEY_UNKNOWN,y=KEY_UNKNOWN,lt=KEY_UNKNOWN,rt=KEY_UNKNOWN,lb=KEY_UNKNOWN,rb=KEY_UNKNOWN,tl=KEY_UNKNOWN,tr=KEY_UNKNOWN \
                	--ui-axismap x2=KEY_#2:KEY_2,Y2=KEY_3:KEY_4 \
                &
                fi
                
                

                and the runcommand-onend.sh

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

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

                  
                  ## 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" = "scummvm" ]
                  then
                  sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                  sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1   \

                        Here are my onend settings.

                        #!/bin/sh

                        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?

                                      everything else looks like it should

                                      did you run this ?

                                      chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

                                      and

                                      chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onend.sh

                                        Yes, I ran those when I very first created the runonstart and runonend files. I did that following the guide. I am idiot when it comes to linux. The part that gets me is when I started scummvm and remoted into it and run the command you gave me it started working. If you can tell me how to find the log file I will post it.

                                          ok
                                          use WinSCP
                                          to find the log file you just need to open the DEV folder and in that open SHM folder

                                          in there will be the log file that you need.

                                          just make sure you start scummvm first. cuz without it running the folder will be empty.

                                            Ok. That's probably why I couldn't find it. I just remoted into the unit and looked without starting the program.
