      Hi Meleu,

      I tried to configure it in emulationstation but I can press what ever I want no reaction by the System.
      Doesn't matter if I try the button analog or not. There is no effect.
      The controllers don't give any signal to the System.

      I used it on win7 machine - there I was able to see the function.

      So what I'm doing wrong?

        @badmage does it work with jstest?

        Try this command:

        jstest /dev/input/js0
        

        And press some buttons.

          @meleu - no unfortunately it doesn't work.
          I also tried everything from here -> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gamepad
          Without effect :(

          it seems like this:
          https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2207580

          That's why I'm asking if there are some "generic" modules missing ?!

          But if you are saying that this works on your side without problems I don't understand ....

            @badmage actually I use this very cheap generic adapter:
            undefined

            It's similar to yours, but I think they are detected differently.

            I've noticed something really strange on the report of the ubuntuforums link...

            They were detected 27 axes!!!! WOW!!! Usually it's only 6.

            Sorry, I don't know what is happening or how to solve it... I would suggest you to buy the model I own, but it's so generic that have no brand.

              @meleu interesting - what I don't understand - why it works with win7.
              Could you give me your usb Details of this Adapter?
              lsusb -vv

              Then I can check if I can buy it somewhere else - or ask my Chinese friends :)

                or/and maybe you can mention a link where I can buy it - or wherefrom do you bought it :)

                and I forgot - please also give me the Output from "dmesg | grep Joystick"

                  I'm from Brazil, and I bought it here. It seems that you are from Germany (you posted an amazon.de link), maybe this?:

                  please also give me the Output from "dmesg | grep Joystick"

                  They are the same! BUT when I run jstest command it gives me this:

                  Driver version is 2.1.0.

                  Look, only 6 axes and a western name (Twin USB Joystick).

                  That guy on ubuntuforums had:

                  27 axes (!!!) and an oriental name...

                    @badmage @meleu mine actually has hde logo on it. I bought it off of ebay. Mine also show up as twinshock. Do not buy single controller version. They still are a two player circuit board and the plug you have available is hooked up to player 2.

                      @meleu ha - that's realy a surprise :)
                      Brazil cool :) - yes I'm from Germany ... so could you please give me your "lsmod" output?
                      I think there is just one module which isn't loaded :) :(

                      Price difference is huge ;) lol :(

                      And just forget the posting from ubuntu - it was just a sign with similar effect/result ....

                      Thanks and best Regards

                          I use this adapter on my raspi1 since 2013. I don't remember the RetroPie version. (Emulationstation was really ugly those days! LOL)

                          Now I use it in a raspi2 as well.

                              @badmage OK. OK... There is no need for ressentment because of that 7x1.

                              Take my raspi2 lsmod with the adapter plugged in:

                                unbelivable strange - with the blue Adapter - it's received by today - the Controllers working quite well :) :(
                                Same setup and configuration .... I don't know what is wrong with the other adapter because with win7 it's working ...

                                Anyway - thanks to you all for all the efforts!
