Solved New to retropie with controller issues (Got Logitec 710)
-
@quicksilver I got it at best buy. It says Xbox controller with wireless adapter for windows 10.
-
@Hoonkawa can you post a picture?
-
-
@Hoonkawa Did you update the firmware on the controller, as suggested in the link ?
-
@Hoonkawa this is an Xbox one controller. Afaik the wireless adapter does not work with Linux (I could be wrong). What model is the controller? Can you post a pic of the label inside of the battery compartment?
-
@mitu no I did not. I didnt see that it was needed.
-
@Hoonkawa Some Xbox One Bluetooth controllers need an updated firmware to work, though yours is not Blueooth. The advice was in the link you posted:
- For use with controller compatible games on Xbox One or PCs and tablets running Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0. Significant firmware update may be required. ISP fees apply.
Can you run - from the command line, after you exit Emulationstation:
cat /proc/bus/input/devicesand post the output here ? Your controller might be supported by the
xpadneodriver (which is not part of RetroPie yet). -
@Hoonkawa I even tried it on a windows computer and the dongle would still not connect to the controller. It may have something to do with the update that mitu mentioned. I would think that the green light on the dongle would still come on. It may be a bad dongle?

@mitu I think there is something wrong with this controller other than compatability with retropie. I was thinking of getting the Logitech 710. What are your thoughts on this controller?

@Hoonkawa Should be working fine - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Logitech-Controller/.

@mitu thanks for the input. I will order the 710 from amazon. You have been most helpful, and I appreciate your patience.
