@escc1986 ok now that is gone. we can start
with that in there is would override everything setting that the pie uses.

we want it for a certain game.

escc1986

thats interesting that yours is already mappped , nice to know for you

i dont know , i just want to get a kick out of myself and my son playing scumm vm with an nes controller something seems cool about it for me

ExarKunIv

@escc1986 its all good.

with xdrive everything can be made to work

here is MY old mapping i used to need to use

#!/bin/sh

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 \
	--mimic-xpad \
	--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 \
	--calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 \
	--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
	--ui-axismap x1=REL_X:10,y1=REL_Y:10 \
	--ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT,b=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,back=KEY_ESC \
	--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
	--ui-axismap x2=void \
&
fi

yours was getting there but its missing a bit for it all work.

YOURS

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" = "/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm" ]
then
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
    --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
    --silent \
    --detach-kernel-driver \
    --force-feedback \
    --deadzone-trigger 15% \
    --deadzone 4000 \
    --mimic-xpad \
    --evdev-absmap ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAY0Y=dpad_y \
    --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_[•]=x,BTN_[•]=y,BTN_[•]=lb,BTN_[•$
    --dpad-only \
    --ui-axismap lt=void,rt=void \
    --ui-buttonmap tl=void,tr=void,guide=void \
&
fi

good that we got rid of it now .... we shall start fresh and clean

(i think i meddled with this xboxdrv months ago ... how would i know or delete any controllers from the past )

escc1986

thanks for pointing your's out and then mine

i know i may have a more simple controls ... but i still dont really understand & confused what im missing ... but hope you can clear that up

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

--evdev is the code the controller sends out
--ui is what we want the controller to do.

so exampler from mine
i had the a key mapped as the left mouse button

--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a

--ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT

im going to do my best

escc1986

@ExarKunIv

that makes sense to me , thank you

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

the buttons are the easy part. the dpad is tricky for me.
so i think work on getting the other buttons mapped. as i do some playing on my end

escc1986

@ExarKunIv

sorry to be a headach ...

i guess the thing that confuses me the most is the steps

like there is alot of steps unless it can be simplfyed somehow

yes the d pad is what confuese me alot too

escc1986

im going to try to start over ...

im going to discconect my keyboard and mouse and see if anything changes

escc1986

ok after typing (With Disconnected keyboard and mouse )

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

my event changed to 0

event0

ExarKunIv

@escc1986 yes thats right.
the event will change as things are plugged in and out

so is you dont play to have a keyboard in there full time best to set if for event 0

escc1986

thank you for informing me , i had no idea ....

ok can you clear this up with me

which setting do i use out of these 3 settings :

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv

just dont know which template to follow that is correct for my nes controller

that i will need to make a nano for

nano /etc/rc.local

ExarKunIv

@escc1986
i say go for the last one
you can always cut stuff out

and stay out of rc.local

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

you will be doing your work in the runcommand.onstart

escc1986

kind of confused .... so i

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

(This template)

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_[•]=dpad_x,ABS_[•]=dpad_y
--evdev-keymap BTN_[•]=a,BTN_[•]=b,BTN_[•]=x,BTN_[•]=y,BTN_[•]=lb,BTN_[•]=rb,BTN_[•]=back,BTN_[•]=start
--dpad-only
--ui-axismap lt=void,rt=void
--ui-buttonmap tl=void,tr=void,guide=void
&

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

close
you need this on the top or it will not know when to start the mapping

if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
then
sudo killall >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 \
    --evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Universal-Controller-Calibration-&-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/

go to the

Key-Mapping For Individual Emulators part to get a start on how the runcommand needs to look like

but for now i think you should just put your mapping in a txt on your computer.

there are ways to test it before you setup the run command
