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

            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

              @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 ?
