      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   \
        --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
        --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 \

              Still no luck. Here is my onstart setup.

              ##!/bin/sh
              
              ## Name of the emulator
              echo $1 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
              
              ## Name of the software used for running the emulation

              ## Name of the rom
              echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

              echo $4 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
              
              if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]

              &
              fi
              
              
              
              

              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?

                            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.

                                    Here is the log file. I see there is an error but I am not sure what to do. I copied it from the guide. I thought maybe it was the indention on the onstart but that didn't fix it. If you look at mine compared to yours the "fi" at the end isn't the same color as the "if" at the beginning of the if statement.

                                      ok i have found your problem at the very start you have a double #

                                      so copy the script as you see below. it works. i tested it out on my system.

                                      if for some reason it still not working, please post your log file again. it is the only way we know what is going on, but so far it is looking good

                                        @exarkuniv Well spotted. I'd say that is the issue. The extra hash before the shebang just comments it out and the script won't run.

                                          I'll try it this evening. Thanks so much. I'm probably showing my age but I wish these things were written in dos!
