@duglor I think you could do quick menu > controls > port 2 controls > mapped port: 1 and then save it as a game or core remap file. Do this for each game or core that requires it.

Seems similar to https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32891/ and (the recent) https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32997/. Try modifying the .cfg file for your controller as explained in the 1st topic and start a game again.

@mitu WELL after I did the jtest my original controller didn't work anymore in the GUI so I did a sudo reboot. While it was rebooting I removed the dongle in sadness and saw "xbox controller disconnected" small info tag in the corner, and BOOM now xbox 360 controller is working!! I have no idea after countless reboots it worked.

Thank you

Probably SDL2 doesn't support the controller correctly. But for EmulationStation that shouldn't be an issue - the buttons you have should be enough to navigate and operate EmulationStation.

Retropie v 4.4.2

@mitu Okay, just did that, didn't work.

I decided to see if there were some config settings or something under xboxdrv so I ran it from the terminal, but it throws an error saying there are no Xbox controllers connected...
Even though I was just using it in ES.

I then ran jstest which looked actually does detect controller inputs... so I don't know where the issue really is... unless my controller is incompatible with xboxdrv?

I've used 2 different controllers for testing though and they don't work.

Hey Poltro,

I just created the script to make things easier to install and setup Moonlight-Embedded. I have just updated this script today BTW to include a new menu based structure for an even easier solution. In regards to the controller mapping, this is now all stored in a txt file within the Moonlight program. It's called gamecontrollerdb.txt and contains the mapping for over 100 different gamepads. Here's what I could see in that file:

xwc,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,

AND

030000005e0400009102000007010000,X360 Wireless Controller,a:b0,b:b1,y:b3,x:b2,start:b7,guide:b8,back:b6,leftstick:b9,rightstick:b10,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,dpup:b13,dpleft:b11,dpdown:b14,dpright:b12,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a3,righty:a4,lefttrigger:a2,righttrigger:a5,platform:Linux,

If Right Trigger is Start, try changing righttrigger:a5 to righttrigger:b7 and start:b7 to start:a5

Let me know if that fixes it here and also, let everyone know what model your controller is and the model of the receiver as that may offer some clues as to why your mapping is different :)

Latest Video is here btw :

@matamualomia also try

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

@rascas doesn't work OOTB unfortunately, well for me anyway. Literally no buttons work in Kodi at the minute. Having to use my wired keyboard

Not sure it will help but i noticed in the RetroPie Setup that there was a driver section from which you could install XBox and XBox360 driver. I also use a XBox 360 wired controller but on a Pi 3 model B and i didn't have to install that driver. I just know it's there so you might want to try, we never know.

Also i don't know about pre made SD images but i sometime hear people saying that some unexplained issues may occur on pre-installed systems, and would recommend users to install RetroPie manually usuing the official download.

That's all i have. Hope it helps.

I saw someone using sc-controller in a youtube video so you can try that

@treedude well that sucks. It would be nice to be able to rule that out. But the xbox driver might be an issue too...

I know this is an old topic but I was reading it just before I tried out the xboxdrv from https://github.com/zerojay/xboxdrv/ and I thought I'd just let you know... having built and tested it all you have to do is launch xboxdrv with the --chatpad option and it works perfectly.

I don't use retropie so I don't know where you need to make this change, but that is all that is required. My main annoyance with it is that I can't find a tab key... but it works well, I'm writing this post with it on my laptop.

@Rascas You're probably right. Looks like they've been made aware of it years back, but it's clearly not a priority. Seems a shame as it's a fairly standard controller.

@JHamz I had a similar situation.

When you load an emulator do see an error, for example I once saw this message "Microsoft X-Box 360 Pad (1118/654) not configured" when trying to play a rom on the emulator FBA.

I too asked on the forums but I was able to resolve it myself. I'm assuming we have the same control a Xbox360/PC Pad. If you go to Emulation Station and Retro Pie Config ensure you update all the main packages.

There are other drivers you can test: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Xbox-360-Controller
