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
--evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•]
--silent
--detach-kernel-driver
--force-feedback
--deadzone-trigger 15%

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/[•] \

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

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

escc1986

not sure what to put here

--evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

(the dot)

ExarKunIv

@escc1986
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

escc1986

--evdev /dev/input/by-id/event0 \

like so ?

my mistake , thank you ...

will send you the link now of my controller ...

is this ok :

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

need to fix the event. should be event0 \

escc1986

ok i lied , there are 2 other buttons on the top an L and an R , im sorry i didnt include them ... i just wanted it to be simple with less buttons to map

@escc1986

thats fine, i was just looking at it and was theres alot here. lol

escc1986

sorry should of sent this

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

it all good, lol

--evdev-keymap KEY_#305=a,KEY_#304=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#310=tl,KEY_#311=tr,KEY_#314=back,KEY_#315=start \

this is your keymap for the controller.

now with

--ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT,b=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,back=KEY_ESC \

you map what said buttons will do

again im still messing with the dpad
