          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 \
                    --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

                    --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

                                      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

                                            when you post something like that
                                            put ```
                                            before and after
                                            then it will come up with the colored box around it

                                            like this
                                            

                                            just to help
