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

        and stay out of rc.local

          you will be doing your work in the runcommand.onstart

            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

              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

                  not sure what to put here

                  --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
