      @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:

            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 &'

              Just for good measure, I tried on the commandline too and it does work from there.

                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.

                        You're better off all around. The standalone DOSBox is just more flexible and has less overhead, allowing some of the more complicated and intensive DOS titles to run on the Pi.

                              I would have thought I would see "donotroller" as a device - what did I do wrong ???

                                Not all controllers have a unique event name. I believe you said you were wanting to map your PS4 controller and it appears to be listed above under the name "Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller". It's event handler is "event0", so you'll need to use "event0" to move on to the next steps.

                                  @mediamogul Ok ... I figured out that it was the --mimic -xpad \ that was preventing the controller from being renamed. Do I need that line ?

                                  I know have ...

                                    You do not. If it's there, it will mimic the naming scheme and button arrangement of an authentic XBox3600 controller. Without it, you're free to create a virtual controller to your own specs.

                                        @mediamogul OMG - Its working - a little chunky (slow) for command and conquer ... but i think that means I just need to adjust my dosbox config. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

                                        One note ... I am adding the code to my fame config files ... I am not sure if this is the most elegant way of handling this ... what do you think .. here is an example.

                                        #!/bin/bash
                                        sudo killall >/dev/null xboxdrv

                                          If you manage to create the right code to get them going, please let me know. I'll be working on it myself fairly shortly using the $3 scenario.

                                            @spud11 ... That Commando might be the Sega commando, not the Capcom one. Unless memory is playing tricks on me, I'd have a hard time playing the Capcom one with 4 directions only. I never played the Sega one, so that's why I'm guessing it's that one. I may be wrong though.

                                            Also unsure of whether Rolling Thunder wouldn't allow you to turn while crouching, which would suggest that there'd be use in 8-way controls.

                                            Still, great list, will certainly keep it for reference!
