      Hope someone get's this to work, and will post the keymap solution here. I'm having the same problems with my NES30 Pro ..

        Has anyone had anymore luck with this? I've spent a rainy and largely unproductive afternoon trying to get it work. Bit annoying as my PS3 Controller wirelessly works fine (showing as a PS3 Controller) but plugged in doesn't (as a Gasia)

        I can get all the buttons working - but crucially not the Dpad or Analogs - the former not at all, the latter as dawed says, only for the limit="-1" attribute = "limit="+1" seems to be unrecognised. Tried hats, any variation. I've been through the retropie docs, kodi docs & logs, xbox examples (which, if they worked here, would be very useful).

        I've got a functioning controller in kodi, I've assigned Down and Right to the right analog stick counter-intuitively to Up and Left limit-1. The buttons are no problem, so it can be used. But irritatingly can't get a straightforward control config, that I'd get with something working OOTB. Perhaps it's Kodi, more likely 8Bitdo, but if anyone has had more luck in the areas I've mentioned...

        Pi3, 3.7 clean install from image, binary latest. I'm still fessing around with the keymap, and if anyone's interested I'll post, but my feeling is I may have to wait awhile until stuff matures.

          @chavatar about the 8bitbo pro, it can be considered a bug in the joystick support, I will fix it in the next Kodi version (16.2).

          About the Gasia PS3 controller, what happens is that via bt it gets the same controller name as the original one, and works OOTB. Via USB it gets the name "Gasia something else" which is not in the default kodi PS3 xml controller config.
          Copy the original PS3 xml to /home/pi/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/ and add or change the joystick name to what you get with cat /proc/bus/input/devices.

              I am having the same problem as of yesterday I upgraded to 3.8 on Retropie and just needed my NES30 Gamepad Joystick to work in conjunction with Kodi. I noticed with my file I created I could only get Left and Up to work with the D-pad. I have tried so many combinations and failed. This is my code here:

              <axis limit="-1" id="1">Left</axis><!--DPAD LEFT WORKING-->
              <axis limit="-1" id="2">Up</axis><!--DPAD UP WORKING-->
              <axis limit="+1" id="1">Right</axis><!--DPAD RIGHT NOT WORKING-->
              <axis limit="+1" id="2">Down</axis><!--DPAD DOWN NOT WORKING-->

              Any help with this would be great. I am not a coder and new to Linux.

                I suppose this is the case with Nes30/Sfc30 to?

                    Yes, I have a SFC30 and I have the same problem: UP and LEFT work, DOWN and RIGHT don't.

                      I have this same problem with the NES30 Pro. UP and LEFT work DOWN and RIGHT don't. Neither do A, B, X or Y

                      Is there a workaround?

                          It will be fixed in Kodi 17, when the stable version comes out. Kodi 16 joystick support is experimental (and not official).

                            I have this problem with the PS4 controller too. I never knew other controllers had this problem too. I hope they fix it in the next release.

                              For me, out of Retropie, Recalbox and Lakka the only one where it's been a straightforward affair, all working is Recalbox. Running Kodi Isenguard...can't wait for Krypton to catch up ;)

                              Much prefer Retropie, but hope ppl don't mind the mention.
