            @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

                            --evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

                            (the dot)

                              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
