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

      My English isn't at a good level.

        @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

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

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

                      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.

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

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