      @BuZz Thanks! I'll report it at the github link you provided.
      And try the suggested downgrade.

        @UDb23 did you try xinput mode as well as directinput?

          @BuZz Rumblepad 2 used to work under 3.7 and previous. Under 3.8 it is still correctly detected by Emulation station but ALL buttons are inactive and I cannot therefore configure it.
          On the other hand a brand new wired Xbox 360 PC controller seems to work fine under 3.8.
          Will do some further testing as soon as I have some time.

            @BuZz It seems Kernel has been updated to fix this issue ( https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/1496).
            I just updated with
            sudo apt-get update
            and
            sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
            Unfortunately Rumblepad 2 still not working. BTW it has no xinput mode.
            Any suggestions ?
            Thanks.

              the kernel is not yet packaged - you need to use rpi-update to get it.

                  Do the controllers register at all in a jstest or evtest?

                        @mediamogul I used jtest as suggested and Rumblepad is detected and buttons working !!
                        Still ES would not detect it even if it was working before 3.8 update.
                        I then rebooted connecting the Rumblepad (as a second pad) together with the currently working Xbox360 Pad. That allowed me to enter Input configuration in ES and, finally, it detected rumblepad and I was able to configure it. :-)
                        Everything back working now !
                        Basically for those still having the issue, you can solve it by rpi-update command plus reconfinguring it.
                        Thank you all for the support!
