I think the latest xpad driver (Aug 14, 2021) is broken

mitu

It seems some of the changes on Aug. 14 (I suspect this one) have modified the Xbox360 controllers' initialization routine.

@windg can you try to see if the previous commit (389e25) works ?

windg

@mitu Yes is working with the commit (389e25)

mitu

@windg Thanks for testing it out. If you have a Github account, you can open an issue on the project's repo and report the findings. I tried their debug instructions, but they haven't produced anything. Unfortunately I don't have a 360 compatible controller to test this out.

Is there something additional to run after modifying this line in xpad.sh? Changing the line and rebooting doesn’t seem to resolve the issue

mitu

@the_loaf You'll need to re-install the xpad driver package from RetroPie-Setup (after you've made the modification) and then reboot.

@mitu oh thank you

It seems that they have fix the bug, but when I try to install the new version I have an error Failed to install xpad

@windg Yeah, it's a code error. Left a message on the issue with the compilation error.

Simrose

I also can't install it says failed to install xpad.

I tried remove and install but same thing happens I will try above method.

It shows installed via unknown

And no info in package ver info

Changed as advised above and installed the older version and works
Thanks

@simrose If you have a genuine Xbox controller, you can remove the driver and you can still use it - you just need to re-configure it first in EmulationStation.

Simrose

@mitu I am using a ps4 controller so I probally don't need it at all? :-)

Tiedemann

Got also the xpad compile error. Both shoulder buttons of my xpad were not recognized. After commit (389e25) all is fine again.

mitu

@tiedemann What controller are you using ?

They fixed the code now, can you try updating to the latest version and see if the controller(s) work ?

Yes everything is working fine now. Thanks!
