        @zane328 Do you have any input remaps ?
        You should get a verbose log file from running a game where the Xbox controller is P2 and post it on pastebin.com.

          Thank you for your prompt response. I really appreciate your help. no I don't have any images remaps.

          Sorry If I have got this wrong but I am very inexperienced with the PI's.

          I have searched the PI on my network in the folders and cannot trace anything that is listed Verbose .

          Thanks in advanced.

            Oddly,I have now reset the controller and it wouldnt work when I loaded a game but yet when I plugged in my other controller to get out of the game that acted as P2 when I then tried my xbox controller it worked as P1 this is really random

                Without a log file, it's difficult to understand why this happens. Enable SSH on your Pi and then install WinSCP, this way you'll be able to access the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file, which should have some indication why this is happening.

                      @mitu I have gone into /dev/SHM but there is no files located within this folder. could it be hidden or located somewhere else? Thanks,.

                        You need to start a game first, the file doesn't exist until a game has been run. Make sure you toggle verbose logging when starting the game; after you exit the game you should have a log file in /dev/shm.
