@quicksilver you're right in Mame2003+ simply open the Retroarch Menu/GUI > Quick menu > Settings (not Controls indeed) and head for the Control Mapping setting. Change the value either to Analog (left stick) or Digital (Dpad). Thanks for the tip as I completely missed that opion!

Is anyone running a Stretch version of Retropie with an Xbox 360 controller? Can you tell me what your buttons map to, and if the player lights are working?

@mitu Thanks. I will give this a try and report back tomorrow as it is getting late here.

@dirtyd369 said in Xbox 360 Joystick not working in some emulators, but works on menu: I assume I can save these settings using “save core remap”? Thank you! Yes, this is the recommended way to do it. For the 2nd part, related to Mame and Tapper, I think it is not supported in 'vanilla' Mame2003 (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1712/no-tapper-how-will-i-live-controls-not-working/) so you could try to use either advmame or install lr-mame2003-plus (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17766/mame2003-plus-250-new-games-new-input-system-new-features-new-bugs) and see if you get better results.

@aditkrator said in Changing Xbox driver based off game: Parsec for Raspberry Pi I hadn't heard of Parsec, but it looks like something similar to Moonlight, which I use (or did use, but ever since I updated to RetroPie 4.4 I can't seem to get it to work). I have quite a few individual bash scripts that invoke xboxdrv and then start moonlight and then individual games, so it can be done: sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --deadzone=4000 \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --force-feedback \ --mimic-xpad \ --trigger-as-button \ --ui-buttonmap lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void \ --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.2:1.0-event-joystick \ --device-name "Player_1" \ --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \ --evdev-keymap BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_TOP=b,BTN_PINKIE=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_THUMB2=back,BTN_TOP2=start \ --ui-axismap X1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP,Y1=KEY_RIGHT:KEY_LEFT \ --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_Z,b=KEY_E,x=KEY_X,y=KEY_Q,back=KEY_SPACE,start=KEY_ENTER \ --ui-buttonmap back+start=cycle-key:KEY_ESC:KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTALT+KEY_Q \ & sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --deadzone=4000 \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --force-feedback \ --mimic-xpad \ --trigger-as-button \ --ui-buttonmap rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void \ --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-event-joystick \ --device-name "Player_2" \ --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \ --evdev-keymap BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_TOP=b,BTN_PINKIE=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_BASE=lb,BTN_THUMB2=back,BTN_TOP2=start \ --ui-axismap X1=KEY_F:KEY_R,Y1=KEY_G:KEY_D \ --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_S,b=KEY_P,x=KEY_A,y=KEY_W,back=KEY_J,start=KEY_H \ --ui-buttonmap back+start=cycle-key:KEY_ESC:KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTALT+KEY_Q \ & sudo /opt/retropie/emulators/moonlight/moonlight stream -bitrate 5000 -audio local -720 -fps 30 192.168.0.5 -app "UnderDefeat" moonlight quit 192.168.0.5 sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv The above script invokes xboxdrv, maps out 2 of my joysticks as against keyboard inputs and then starts moonlight and, ultimately, the game Under Defeat via an emulator on my Windows 7 based PC.

@aditkrator Can you check my update in the other topic to see if the workaround I posted there works for you also ?

@mitu The only setting which might be related to the joypad is input_joypad_driver, which is by default udev. You can try re-adding back the file, then changing this to sdl2 and see if this fixes the mapping. Yeah, I tried that. Didn't change anything. I've decided to just restore my RetroPie install from a backup and avoid the Xpad driver update for the time being. I was able to update everything else individually without issue. Thank you for your time and I apologize for not seeing this through to end.

Retropie4.4 's support of Xbox 360 controllers is broken Xpad works just fine. Xboxdrv has known issues with multiple controllers but that isn't something the retropie project maintains.

@thenetstriker said in Problems with xpad after update to Debian stretch: I also get a lot of those error messages. So much that it is affecting the performance and I'm getting a lot of video freezes. I hope that will be fixed soon. Thanks for digging through this issue, I guess the new 3B+ is more finicky about measuring the power consumption.

@swampy yeah that may have resolved it. Glad it's working.

Just did the update... no errors! Thank you again!

@herb_fargus Alright thanks.

@nilsholgersson pcsx-rearmed is known to have a lot of compatibility issues, being fast enough on arm processor came at a cost... and don't expect fixes for this, notaz (the main developper) has been quite inactive for years. Your best bet is to use either the original hardware or a more accurate emulator (i would recommend beetle-psx-libretro) on a hardware more powerfull than the pi (i would say something with a cpu as close as possible to 3Ghz)

I would also be quite interested to hear people's opinions and experience with this. The advanced controller mapping guide is excellent and very comprehensive for xboxdrv however the retropie wiki does seem to suggest xpad is the preferred and is even the default. I would especially be interested if anyone has any suggestions for xpad tweaks to improve ScummVM analog control. Thanks very much.

I've got some problems with 1708 revision gamepad. Moving to 4.8+ kernel solved the problem for me. 4.9 is in the NEXT branch now btw. But older gamepad revisions seemed to work well afaik. Is it working at all (LED on..?)
