      I am trying to map the buttons on my PS3 controller, but I have no names for the buttons X(302), Triangle(300) and Circle(301).

        I believe first party PS3 controllers have native support in xboxdrv. I don't own a PS3 controller myself, so I was unable to test this, but supposedly it will automatically map the controller for you with the button locations in the same places you'd expect to find them. Try the mapping below and see if it works.

        sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
        	--silent \
        	--detach-kernel-driver \
        	--force-feedback \
        	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
        	--deadzone 4000 \
        	--mimic-xpad \
        	&
        

        In this situation, most people will be happy with the automatic button mapping, as the buttons and sticks are more or less in the same location between the two types of controllers, but it is still possible to alter the arrangement by using the --axismap and --buttonmap command arguments. Using the example I just gave above, I'll illustrate this technique below by inverting the Y-axis on the left joystick (useful in some games if you don't like helicopter controls) and also switch the 'A' and 'B' buttons.

        sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
        	--silent \
        	--detach-kernel-driver \
        	--force-feedback \
        	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
        	--deadzone 4000 \
        	--mimic-xpad \
        	--axismap -y1=y1 \
        	--buttonmap a=b,b=a \
        	&
        

        Of course this example can be expanded to include any number of mappings. You could even switch the left and right joysticks completely if needed.

          When I type in the rc.local:

          sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
                  --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
          	--silent \
          	--detach-kernel-driver \
          	--force-feedback \
          	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
          	--deadzone 4000 \
          	--calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 \
          	--mimic-xpad \
          	&	
          

          Have not noticed any change after the restart, gamepad is still reported as a Playstation 3 controller.
          How do I know that it works?

            Drop --evdev /dev/input/event2 \ and see if that does it. If not, I did a little reading on the PS3 controller and it appears as though you can map those four buttons using my original instructions as follows:

            --evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y
            

            In context, that would look like:

            sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
            	--evdev /dev/input/by-id/* \
            	--silent \
            	--detach-kernel-driver \
            	--force-feedback \
            	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
            	--deadzone 4000 \
            	--mimic-xpad \
            	--evdev-absmap ABS_*=x1,ABS_*=y1,ABS_*=x2,ABS_*=y2,ABS_*=lt,ABS_*=rt,ABS_*=dpad_x,ABS_*=dpad_y \
            	--evdev-keymap BTN_KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_*=lb,BTN_*=rb,BTN_*=tl,BTN_*=tr,BTN_*=guide,BTN_*=back,BTN_*=start \
            	&
            

            I hate that I don't have a PS3 controller to test, but maybe that will take care of the issue. If so, I'll add it to the instructions up top.

              Without success.

                Based on all the information you've given so far, you're configuration should look like this:

                sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
                	--evdev /dev/input/event2 \
                	--silent \
                	--detach-kernel-driver \
                	--force-feedback \
                	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
                	--deadzone 4000 \
                	--mimic-xpad \
                	--dpad-as-button \
                	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt \
                	--evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl \
                	--calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 \
                	&
                

                If that doesn't work, we'll have to look at the error that is given. The easiest way to do that is to paste the previous command directly into the terminal minus the final backslash and ampersand. After you press 'Enter', the error will print out if something's wrong.

                    Very glad to hear it. Everything looks to be in order from here. If anything else comes up, I'll be around.

                        So it's working when you enter it into the command line directly, but not from /etc/rc.local? Go ahead and post the entire contents of your /etc/rc.local so we can take a look at it.

                        EDIT: Nevermind, I see it above.

                            Try pasting the command above the line # Print the IP address.

                              No change. No Xbox gamepad.

                                There's a conflict with the other command in the file that's printing the IP address. I'm not sure how to make them coexist, but the xboxdrv command itself should run without the other.

                                  Delete the command in the file that's printing the IP address to rc.local, restart.

                                    Go ahead and past the contents of the newly modified rc.local.

                                        At this point, I'm starting to suspect poltergeists ;). Let's try reformatting the command to:

                                        sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/event2 --silent --detach-kernel-driver --force-feedback --deadzone-trigger 15% --deadzone 4000 --mimic-xpad --dpad-as-button --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt --evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl --calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 &

                                          Such an idea.
                                          If Sony gamepad connected via bluetooth and I enter the SSH command:

                                          sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
                                          	--evdev /dev/input/event2 \
                                          	--silent \
                                          	--detach-kernel-driver \
                                          	--force-feedback \
                                          	--deadzone-trigger 15% \
                                          	--deadzone 4000 \
                                          	--mimic-xpad \
                                          	--dpad-as-button \
                                          	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt \
                                          	--evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl \
                                          	--calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767
                                          

                                          output is this:

                                          Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
                                            /dev/input/js1
                                            /dev/input/event3
                                          
                                          Press Ctrl-C to quit
                                          

                                          Unless Sony gamepad connected via bluetooth and I enter the SSH command output is this:

                                          pi@retropie:~ $ sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \

                                            Ah... nice! OK, There's a command to force Bluetooth to load and pair known devices that can be added before the xboxdrv command. From memory I believe it's called 'modprobe' or something like that. I'll be more than happy to help you out with it, but to be honest, I'm starting to fade and should get some sleep. I'll look into it further after a few ZZZs, but feel free to read ahead. I'm curious about this myself and I remember thinking that this could potentially be a problem with Bluetooth as the system starts.
