Retropie 4.4 and Tronsmart Mars G02 with wireless dongle problem!

[pursit69]

I have a problem with last Retorpie 4.4 release and my Tronsmart Mars G02 controller connected with the 2.4ghz dongle!!!
The new Retropie release doesn’t recognize correctly the pad controller and it does not work.
I have tested with an old release of Retorpie and the controller was correctly recognized and It’is worked.
below I report how it is recognized by old Retropie release:

… while new Retropie 4.4 release recognizes it as a "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad" and it does not work.

Can someone help me solve the problem?
Is there a way to remove any references to the "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad" device?

I've already tried to remove the xpad drivers, reboot the image and then reinstall the xpad driver but unfortunately still recognize it as an X-Box pad!
Can you help me?
Thanks

@pursit69 Does the controller behave differently - emulating an Xbox one - when started with a custom hotkey(s) sequence ? See a previous report here.

[pursit69]

@mitu, I don't know "custom hot key(s) to emulate Xbox One pad. The post of shaxs user confirms that Tronsmart Mars G02 controller worked with wireless dongle and old Retropie release. I don't know why with last 4.4 release the controller is incorrectly recognized. Have you any idea how solve this issue?

@pursit69 Did the controller work with the 4.3 release ? You could try that out, I wouldn't immediately blame the 4.4 release for the controller not working.

@mitu I have solved the issue with the controller!!! I have pressed for 3 seconds the function button to switch controller from X-mode (Xbox) to D-mode (Android) and now it functions.
I'm so sorry to have posted this support request.
Thanks however for the help you gave me.
