Retropie 3.8 - Two controllers won't work

anatoledaou

I have problems with two of my controllers: they are not recognized in Emulationstation's "configure imput". Well, there's a message saying "2 gamepad detected" but when I hold a button on the gamepads, Emulationstation doesn't recognize them.

I'm using a Logitech RumblePad 2 (USB wire) and a Xbox 360 Wireless Controler wired with the usb charger in the Raspberry Pi.

I looked in RetroArch > Settings > Imput > Imput User 1 Binds : the systems recognize the Logitech RumblePad 2, but when I try mapping the buttons, RetroArch doesn't detect the buttons. Does it have something to do with my controller needing to much power (electricity) from the Pi?

For the Xbox Wireless Controler wired with the USB cable, I installed the Xbox 360 controller driver, but EmulationStation doesn't recognize the buttons in "configure imput". Does it have something to do with the fact that it's a Wireless Controller being plugged?

Only the buttons on my keyboard is being recognize ine EmulationStation "configure imput"...

I'm using Retropie 3.8 updated as of today (June 14 2016)

@anatoledaou Xbox 360 wireless need a receiver. Plug and play cables do not work. The rumble pad issues is a separate one that you would know the solution if you had taken two seconds to use the search function on the forum: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1940/controller-trouble-in-v3-8-lost-directinput-support/1

Hi,

I tried to use my Logitech controller with RetroPie too, and it did not work.
jstest-gtk showed no activity, buttons did not work.

I get the following in dmesg:
pi@retropie:/boot $ dmesg | grep logi
[ 3.921627] logitech 0003:046D:C20A.0001: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Logitech WingMan RumblePad] on usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input0
[ 3.921671] logitech: probe of 0003:046D:C20A.0001 failed with error -1

The same controller works when I plug it into my notebook using Ubuntu Linux 16.04.
In a different forum I found similar comments. I think the solution was a driver/kernel update.
I wonder if that is planed for the RetroPie kernel too. Does anyone know?

Hi,

I tried to follow the instructions on the following page:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md

The new kernel 4..4.13:

pi@retropie:~ $ uname -r
4.4.13-v7+

Works better and my Logitech Rumblepad started working as expected:

pi@retropie:~ $ dmesg | grep logi
[ 4.454487] logitech 0003:046D:C20A.0001: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Logitech WingMan RumblePad] on usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input0
[ 4.454617] logitech 0003:046D:C20A.0001: Force feedback for Logitech variant 2 rumble devices by Anssi Hannula anssi.hannula@gmail.com
pi@retropie:~ $ lsmod | grep logi
hid_logitech 20896 0
ff_memless 4750 1 hid_logitech

The module dependencies are now like those on my Intel notebook using Ubuntu.
