        --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

              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

                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 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

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

                            and stay out of rc.local

                                    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

                                        just use the event and the number so for you it will be event0
                                        i could never get the id-to work

                                        think you could send me a link or something for your controller.
                                        when you posted the event codes there are alot more buttons then i would of thought for a NES
