      @mediamogul Hi! Here I am, with a few naive questions if I may. This morning I managed to have some time and looked into xboxdrv. I was trying out a simple example to see if I could remap a button to a key, but it didn't seem to work in the game I was trying it in so I thought of dropping by again.
      I got to launch xboxdrv "properly", and having it assign a new id to my controller. In this case, I was just trying to assign "select" on my controller to "escape" on the keyboard. I did the whole evtest thing.

      I ran

      sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
       --evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-Sony_PLAYSTATION_R_3_Controller-event-joystick \
      --silent \
      --detach-kernel-driver \
      --force-feedback \
      --deadzone-trigger 15% \
      --deadzone 4000 \
      --mimic-xpad \
      --evdev-keymap BTN_TRIGGER=b \
      --ui-buttonmap b=KEY_ESC
      

      But escape didn't seem to be registered, so I'm surely doing something wrong here. I believe I also tried it with

       --evdev /dev/input/event2
      

      But got similar non-results. :)

      Is there a way I can just press the buttons on my controller and see if the keys are registering, say by sending characters to the terminal? I'm happy to map it to any other key. Is the right way for that to launch xboxdrv (for instance, via SSH), and go to the terminal on the Pi?

      Just so I can continue testing.

      Do I need to explicitly map all the buttons from the controller? Do I explicitly need to map app evdev-keymap definitions to -ui-buttonmap definitions?

      Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

        it didn't seem to work in the game I was trying it in

        If the game happened to be running from a RetroArch core, RetroArch requires a udev rule be set before it will recognize the virtual keyboard. That information is located at the tail-end of section 3A of the guide.

        Is there a way I can just press the buttons on my controller and see if the keys are registering

        You could map a letter for your test key and open up something like nano to see if it enters correctly. Something more substantial would be to consider that the virtual keyboard actually registers as a normal keyboard event, so you could test every keypress you map to it with evtest.

        Do I need to explicitly map all the buttons from the controller? Do I explicitly need to map app evdev-keymap definitions to -ui-buttonmap definitions?

        No, your example is fine and an ideal first test.

        Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

        No trouble at all.

          @mediamogul Thanks.

          The nano test was what I had in mind - just wanted to confirm what was the right approach to test it, given that when I launch xboxdrv at the moment it just takes over the window. I suppose I could launch it as a daemon, but for quick iterations I'd rather test it like this.

          I'll launch xboxdrv from SSH, and then in the Pi's command line I'll check for key presses.

          It's not a RetroArch core per se, but the GameMaker port. I'll look into the udev thingie, though, if events are being registered but don't make it to the game.

          Thank you for your excellent service here! I'll report back when I do have the chance to test this, but may only be in the coming days.

            It seems like I remember helping someone setup xboxdrv with a GameMaker port several months ago where the same thing was required, so that could be it.

            I'll report back when I do have the chance to test this, but may only be in the coming days.

              @mediamogul Thanks.

              So, indeed, the terminal shows the keys I'm pressing, and I can control Rick Dangerous (of all things)!

              I can't, however, send my inputs to GameMaker. I even tried disconnecting my keyboard, thinking it could be something like it defaulting to the first keyboard it detected, but nada.

              Here's the command I'm using:

              sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
               --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
               --silent \
               --detach-kernel-driver \
               --force-feedback \
               --deadzone-trigger 15% \
               --deadzone 4000 \
               --mimic-xpad \
               --dpad-as-button \
               --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt \
               --evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,
              BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,
              BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl \
               --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_Z,b=KEY_X,x=KEY_S,y=KEY_A,lb=KEY_F1,rb=KEY_F12,lt=KEY_HOME,
              rt=KEY_HOME,tl=KEY_HOME,tr=KEY_HOME,du=KEY_UP,dd=KEY_DOWN,
              dl=KEY_LEFT,dr=KEY_RIGHT,start=KEY_ESC \
               --calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767
              &
              

              (yes, I broke some of the lines here deliberately, for legibility, but they're all together as they should).

              I even added the udev thingie you have in this post, as well as the one in the wiki (in case they're different - using only one didn't do much).

              sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xboxdrv.rules
              
              SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="Microsoft X-Box 360 pad - Keyboard Emulation", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"
              

              and

              sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/55-permissions-uinput.rules
              
              KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
              

              and rebooted.

              I'm calling it a day here, but curious as to what else you'd suggest me doing here - if anything.

              By all means, your guide was tremendously helpful, and knowing that I can at least set it up for some other games is great! Just curious to see if we could get the GameMaker ones on board as well, but it's not critical.

              Thanks, have a great day!

                When I've tried to do that in the past, the command always ends prematurely at the break and xboxdrv ignores everything afterward. Is there some special carriage return that keeps them together?

                  @mediamogul Oh, no, sorry.

                  What I meant is that I broke the lines here in the forum, as it was messing up my whole window when I pasted them here. Not in the terminal.

                  The command is, effectively the following - apologies for the lack of formatting as it's unwieldy:

                  sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv
                  --evdev /dev/input/event2
                  --silent
                  --detach-kernel-driver
                  --force-feedback
                  --deadzone-trigger 15%
                  --deadzone 4000
                  --mimic-xpad
                  --dpad-as-button
                  --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_#48=lt,ABS_#49=rt
                  --evdev-keymap KEY_#302=a,KEY_#301=b,BTN_DEAD=x,KEY_#300=y,BTN_THUMB=tl,BTN_THUMB2=tr,BTN_BASE5=lb,BTN_BASE6=rb,BTN_TRIGGER=back,KEY_#720=guide,BTN_TOP=start,BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl
                  --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_Z,b=KEY_X,x=KEY_S,y=KEY_A,lb=KEY_F1,rb=KEY_F12,lt=KEY_HOME,rt=KEY_HOME,tl=KEY_HOME,tr=KEY_HOME,du=KEY_UP,dd=KEY_DOWN,dl=KEY_LEFT,dr=KEY_RIGHT,start=KEY_ESC
                  --calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767

                    Ah, OK. I'll try to dig up that post from a while back and see what happened there. It could be that it didn't work in GameMaker then either.

                      @mediamogul no problems. I'll also do some digging and report back.

                      Thanks, as always!

                        @mediamogul Hi mediamogul. I've now used the expanded case statements and got it partially working. I've also resolved the Notepad++ newline problem, so that's now no longer an issue.

                        The runcommand-onstart.sh below works with Amiga (2 player), but the remaining configurations don't.

                        I have 4 DragonRise arcade style joysticks that move in 8 directions. I was hoping to have separate configurations for the 2 joysticks for Amiga. This part works. Then I was hoping to have a default configuration (8 way) for each of the 4 joysticks and separate default 4 way configurations for each joystick. After playing with "basic" and "extended" configurations, I found it a bit easier just to have full "basic" configurations. However, I suspect that has led to some conflicts along the way. It is the 8 way/4 way configurations that don't work at present. It spits out "no file or directory" as the error.

                        I've got the statements all on one line, because I had to troubleshoot the Amiga configs and this appeared to work for those.

                        For your info, I have a separate roms folder called "arcade-vertical" where games like Amidar, Pacman are.

                        #!/bin/sh

                        ## Name of the software used for running the emulation
                        #echo $2 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                        
                        ## Name of the rom
                        #echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

                          It could be that the variables and --device-name arguments are both being wrapped in double quotation marks. Try wrapping the variables in single quotation marks and the --device-name arguments in doubles. For example:

                          8way1='sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.3:1.0-event-joystick --silent --detach-kernel-driver --deadzone=4000 --deadzone-trigger 15% --force-feedback --mimic-xpad --trigger-as-button --device-name "Arcade_Joystick_Player_1_-_8_way_xboxdrv" --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 --evdev-keymap BTN_TRIGGER=x,BTN_THUMB=y,BTN_THUMB2=a,BTN_PINKIE=b,BTN_BASE3=back,BTN_BASE6=start --ui-buttonmap lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void &'

                            @mediamogul Hi mediamogul. Thank you. That is interesting. A lot of the errors I was getting earlier on before fixing the Amiga joysticks related to the device name. The only way I solved that was by using underscores in the name, simplifying the name and having the statement on one line - eg Amiga_Joystick_Player_1_xboxdrv .

                            I've now made the change as suggested to all configurations including the Amiga joysticks, but the response is the same in runcommand.log:

                              Just to cover the bases, you've tested that each of these commands work on their own from the command line?

                                @mediamogul Yes, I have and they work from the commandline.

                                  Definitely keep the previous fix, but also try wrapping the path to xboxdrv in double quotations:

                                      I know this was an attempt to simplify the second method from the guide, but it might end up being easier to follow @MadHorse's example, seeing as how this hybrid method isn't working out.

                                        @mediamogul Hi. Thanks. No problem. I'll have another go with @madhorse technique. I'm just wondering though if that technique is going to work with multiple controllers, but will give it a go.

                                          What you're looking to do is entirely possible, but it's also a very tailored use case scenario. I have a feeling you'll be dealing with a lot of trial and error no matter what. I'll help as best I can, but it's difficult from the back seat. Plus, my sister keeps kicking me and it smells back here.

                                            I am about to try this. I am going to attempt to use a PS4 controller to map a mouse in DosBOX. I have tried Joymap and only got the mouse to move around not capture clicks.

                                            I see that Lakka has default mouse capture, but I prefer retropie by far for customization.

                                            I am hoping this will solve my issue.
