      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 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

                          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 \

                            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

                                        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/even0
                                        --silent

                                        --deadzone 4000

                                        --evdev-absmap ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y
                                        --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_[•]=x,BTN_[•]=y,BTN_[•]=lb,BTN_[•]=rb,BTN_TL2=back,BTN_TR2=start

                                        --ui-buttonmap tl=void,tr=void,guide=void
                                        &
