        I am trying to install on my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B I have installed the latest Raspbain OS Buster Image.

        I want to install this driver to see if I can get my Xbox One Wireless controller to work with my Xbox Wireless Dongle.

        I am a real noob regarding Linux, so steps necessary to do this would help me out.

        i could contribute $20 to someone if it solves my request. I would have to test it out first, but being that it would save me from using a different controller and I prefer my Xbox One Wireless controller I would definitely contribute to someone to help me.

        Here is my info on my build:
        i@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/os-release
        PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"

          I have done it on my newly setup Retopie on an Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

          Go in the commandline and follow this instructions:

          GET cabextract OTHERWISE command make BUILD=RELEASE will fail

          sudo apt-get install -y cabextrac
          

          GET XOW AND INSTALL

          git clone https://github.com/medusalix/xow
          cd xow
          make BUILD=RELEASE
          sudo make install
          sudo systemctl enable xow
          sudo systemctl start xow
          

          Reboot Pie

          sudo reboot
          

          Get your USB-Stick in Paring-Mode

          sudo systemctl kill -s SIGUSR1 xow
          

          After this command your Stick should start to make bling bling and you can pair yourself with it!

          Regards

            When I try git clone https://github.com/medusalix/now using Raspberry Pi 4 4gb with retropie-buster-4.7-rpi4.img

            I get a prompt to put in a Username and Password I tried my GitHub username and password and get an Invalid

            Username or Password Fata: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/mcusalix/xow/'

            When I try this command in Linux Mint everything works as it should. I'm new to Linux so not sure what to do to get past this.

              This is the wrong repository - it's https://github.com/medusalix/xow. Github will ask for user/pass when it doesn't find a public repository at the given URL.

                  @mitu Hi All, appreciate the help from this forum. I was able to connect one of my xbox one controllers to the wireless adapter for retropie, but the other will not pair. Both controllers are model 1697. Any ideas?

                    Hi Everyone,

                    I dont have any linux knowledge but I would love to get my xbox controller working wirelessly on Retropie (most up todate).

                    using a pi4 4gb

                    I tried to use the above instructions from @thediebatz but ive run in some errors.

                    **Im guessing this is my first problem.

                    pi@retropie:~ $ sudo apt-get install -y cabextrac

                    Reading state information... Done
                    E: Unable to locate package cabextrac

                    **I expect All the rest of the instructions dont work because of "unable to locate" error I got.

                    **but I've run through the rest, just incase its fine.

                      @liquidchild101 said in Xbox One Wireless Adaptor Connection:

                      make: cabextract: Command not found
                      make: *** [Makefile:39: firmware.bin] Error 127

                      You need to install the cabextract package first with

                      sudo apt -y install cabextract
                      

                      This is described in the installation instructions for xow.

                        @mitu Thank you so much. that worked like a charm.

                        I've gotta so used to wireless. Going back to wired is such a pain now.

                        cheers mate!

                          @liquidchild101 can't find much about xow online so thought I'd ask in here, do you find the adapter gets crazy hot
