      @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.

                @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 ?
