Perhaps it would be a good idea to include a documentation for the Xbox One controller. For me this thread made the difference from giving up on RetroPi and finding the perfect setup!

Can please anybody share his/her experience?

@reginaldsharma said in Unable to use hotkeys with xbox360 controller on retro4.3:

but next time around i made it the xbox button. still was having issues.

See what @BobHarris also said. If you mapped the now 'xbox' button as Hotkey, then it will replace what you previously used (Select) in the button combinations you're trying now. If you left the Hotky button unmapped, then the input dialog will ask you if you want to use Select and then it should work as in ver. 4.1.

@megahertz Nice!

@jocaedu Are you sure your controller/usb cable are OK ? 1 gamepad detected implies the keyboard is detected, but not the controller.
As for the image, I don't think there is such a thing as Windows User-Friendly drivers on the Linux, but over USB the controller should be detected ok. Please give more details about your setup - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first - especially about your controller model and version.

I had no trouble to connect both x-Box one s controller via Bluetooth (pi 3b - disable ertm and updated retropie and the both controllers via my Xbox one). I conectet the first one and after it was done I connected the other one. But I have trouble to configure them in the retroarch GUI. Does the controllers work in retroarch gui for you?

Power supply?

I'm not sure how far you got when setting up Moonlight but you need to find your controller's ID number and the correct corresponding button numbers by using jstest /dev/input/js0

Then you add this information into /usr/share/moonlight/gamecontrollerdb.txt

This is because Moonlight decided to use an SDL gamecontrollerdb.txt format to be able to make common game controllers work out-of-the-box. Here's the official template file:

Here is the information for my wireless Xbox 360 controller. Warning: my d-pad settings are not correct and I've been meaning to fix this but I'm too lazy to do it right now!. They differ a little depending if you're using the Xpad driver or the Xboxdrv driver.

Xpad version:

030000005e040000a102000007010000,X360 Wireless Controller,a:b0,b:b1,x:b2,y:b3,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,lefttrigger:b6,righttrigger:b7,back:b8,start:b9,guide:b10,leftstick:b11,rightstick:b12,dpleft:b13,dpright:b14,dpup:b15,dpdown:b16,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,platform:Linux,

Xboxdrv version:

030000005e040000a102000007010000,X360 Wireless Controller,a:b0,b:b1,back:b6,dpdown:b14,dpleft:b11,dpright:b12,dpup:b13,guide:b8,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b9,lefttrigger:a2,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b10,righttrigger:a5,rightx:a3,righty:a4,start:b7,x:b2,y:b3,platform:Linux,

Replying to this old topic with the solution that worked for me, after finding this question via google with no reply.

It's likely your left/right triggers were configured incorrectly. If they're configured for minus axis, retroarch believes they are held down when the game launches and everything acts weird. It's likely the retroarch menus are un-navigable as well.

To fix the problem, go to "configure input" again and make sure left trigger is "Axis 5+" and right trigger is "Axis 4+". If they're negative the emulator thinks they're held down and that's causing the problems.

Hope this helps anyone else coming across this problem via google.

@matamualomia also try

"button(6), button(7)“ or
"button(6)/button(7)“

I'm pretty sure I've got this sorted out now. It's set up pretty close to how the N64 layout was. I changed the rumblepak switch to requiring a hotkey to be activated. Current setup is below.

DPad R = "button(13)"
DPad L = "button(14)"
DPad D = "button(16)"
DPad U = "button(15)"
Start = "button(9)"
Z Trig = "button(6)"
B Button = "button(1)"
A Button = "button(0)"
C Button R = "axis(2+)"
C Button L = "axis(2-)"
C Button D = "axis(3+)"
C Button U = "axis(3-)"
R Trig = "button(5)"
L Trig = "button(4)"
Mempak switch = "button(11)"
Rumblepak switch = "“J0B8/B12”"

Analog axis configuration mappings

X Axis = "axis(0-,0+)"
Y Axis = "axis(1-,1+)"
Joy Mapping Stop = "J0B8/B9"

@bengdahl Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the exact same problem.

@sirdevin ceramic heatsink for the pi is .99 cents on ebay.

@bollwerk they do work.

There's a post from several months back detailing how to get the One S controller working on the Pi3 using bluetooth.

@nex86 said in How to launch (start) menu in emulationstation from keyboard?:

@mitu how am I'm supposed to enable SSH when I can't go into the menu to enable it?

Look at the page I mentioned, the 2nd method is simpler - pop-up your SD card and insert it into your PC, then create an empty file called ssh (no extension) on the /boot partition, the same folder as the config.txt file.
Put the SD card back and boot the PI, you should have SSH enabled.

Yeah, i got it working with an image of Retropie, but not with radbian.
Thanks for helping

@HurricaneFan

Thanks. I may look further into this :)

My psu is made by RS and its rated at 1.2A - It was the one recommended at the time (bear in mind it only a pi 1B!)

my file in RETROPIE/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (XBOX).cfg looks like this http://pastebin.com/fHC1Dm78

my file in RETROPIE/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg looks like this http://pastebin.com/AKqLx0eB

I have also tried inputting all the inputs from the main xbox config file in the snes/retroarch.cfg file without success.

I have since noticed however that the controls work in snes9x2005 (but not 2002?)

cheers
