      they do
      you just need everything on the same page.

      IE
      correct drivers turned on, correct names ETC....

      i use a different method now so i have not messed with it this way in a long time
      and you have a bunch of little things you did, which is not wrong but not needed. so they might be giving a problem.

      give me a bit i want to try something on my system

          so the way i do things now is i have a command that gets ran when i pick a certain game, unlike the way we where just playing with. that way is always running in the back ground in a way waiting for a game that needs is to start and away it goes.

          so im hoping that i can get my way to work and we can go from there, cuz i think even with what ever settings or naming that has been done it will not matter.

          plus if you get to any other games that need something custom like the games in PORTS. it is very easy to copy and past from one to the other

              ok here goes, from what i was able to test it does work on my system and it does over ride whatever preconfiged controls

              in the rom/scummvm folder open the +start scummvm.sh and add this line under the #!/bin/bash but before anything else

              sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 --evdev /dev/input/event0 --config /opt/retropie/configs/all//xdrive/scumm.cfg &
              

              dont forget to change the event number to match yours

              now in the config folder go to the all folder and make a new folder named xdrive

              in there make a new file called scumm.cfg
              in there paste this

              [xboxdrv]
              silent=true
              deadzone=4000
              deadzone-trigger=15%
              dpad-as-button=false
              trigger-as-button=true
              detach-kernel-driver=true
              #force-feedback=true
              mimic-xpad=true
              
              [evdev-absmap]
              ABS_X=x1
              ABS_Y=y1
              ABS_Z=x2
              ABS_RZ=y2
              ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x
              ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y
              
              [evdev-keymap]
              BTN_SOUTH=a
              BTN_EAST=b
              BTN_NORTH=x
              BTN_WEST=y
              BTN_TL=lb
              BTN_TL2=lt
              BTN_TR=rb
              BTN_TR2=rt
              BTN_SELECT=back
              BTN_START=start
              BTN_THUMBL=tl
              BTN_THUMBR=tr
              
              [ui-axismap]
              x1=KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT
              y1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP
              dpad_x=REL_X:10
              dpad_y=REL_Y:10
              
              [ui-buttonmap]
              a=BTN_LEFT
              b=KEY_LEFTCTRL
              x=KEY_ENTER
              y=KEY_R
              lb=KEY_C
              lt=KEY_A
              rb=KEY_SPACE
              rt=KEY_D
              back=KEY_F5
              start=KEY_ESC
              tr=KEY_K
              tl=KEY_Y
              
              # EOF #
              

              now of corse you need to change the buttons to mactch your controller.
              these are from my setup

              there will be some fine tuning that you will need to do, but this i hope should get you to work.

                Question :

                How do you create a new folder "xdrive" in command ?

                I made a mistake and

                Sudo nano xdrive ( sudo nano means txt from what I found out )

                How do you create a new folder ?

                  mkdir /opt/retropie/configs/all/xdrive

                  to make the config file
                  then sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/xdrive/scumm.cfg

                  i just network into mine from the computer and use explorer to do most of everything
                  so i just right click for everything, lol

                          that should work,

                          if not

                          this is what the buttons are called when you press then vs what you are pressing.
                          example you dont want this
                          BTN_START=start. you want this BTN_TR2=start

                          [evdev-keymap]
                          BTN_SOUTH=a
                          BTN_EAST=b
                          BTN_NORTH=x
                          BTN_WEST=y
                          BTN_TL=lb
                          BTN_TL2=lt
                          BTN_TR=rb
                          BTN_TR2=rt
                          BTN_SELECT=back
                          BTN_START=start
                          BTN_THUMBL=tl
                          BTN_THUMBR=tr
                          

                          and

                          this is what you want the buttons to do

                          [ui-buttonmap]
                          a=BTN_LEFT
                          b=KEY_LEFTCTRL
                          x=KEY_ENTER
                          y=KEY_R
                          lb=KEY_C
                          lt=KEY_A
                          rb=KEY_SPACE
                          rt=KEY_D
                          back=KEY_F5
                          start=KEY_ESC
                          tr=KEY_K
                          tl=KEY_Y
                          

                          now i have a bunch of things you dont need so just delete them as you go.

                            How does it look by you ?

                            if this looks ok ....

                            where do i put this config in the scumm.config

                            then what would i need to do

                            reboot and try game , right ?

                                  same as before

                                  dpad didnt work

                                        you put scumm.cfg in the xdrive folder
                                        and you +Start ScummVM.sh looks good leave it

                                        Remove everything that you don,t have a key assigned to for both the keymap and buttonmap

                                            all i did was remove the empty buttons
                                            this is what i ended up with

                                            this is the scumm.cfg. that is in the config/all/xdrive folder

                                            and it works for me.

                                            so as long as you have your +Start ScummVM.sh looking like this that is in the roms/scummvm folder

                                            #!/bin/bash
                                            
                                            sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 --evdev /dev/input/event0 --config /opt/retropie/configs/all//xdrive/scumm.cfg &
                                            
                                            game="$1"
                                            pushd "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm" >/dev/null
                                            /opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --fullscreen --joystick=0 --extrapath="/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/extra" $game
                                            while read id desc; do
                                                echo "$desc" > "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/$id.svm"
                                            done < <(/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --list-targets | tail -n +3)
                                            popd >/dev/null
                                            

                                            and the button maps named as scumm.cfg and saved in configs/all//xdrive

                                            everything should work fine. other then that i dont know.

                                            when you start a game run
                                            cat /proc/bus/input/devices
                                            you should have your controller and then a new one called Microsoft X-Box 360 pad then you know the file is starting.
                                            if not then it is not seeing something.

                                            we'll go from there
