      @iamhammer Have a look here about not getting all of you inputs recognized.

        Hi
        Since I tried changes made by zigurana on his repo zigurana\EmulationStation (branch UIModeInputHandling) I can do perfectly KONAMI code with my 8bitdo NES30 Pro (not SF30 Pro or SN30 Pro controllers, i don't have any of them) but those changes have not been added to official emulationstation repo yet.
        I guess this problem is common for all N30 Pro users and this deploy works great:
        https://github.com/zigurana/EmulationStation/commit/846243dfbf0e1b3e13e9990a84e51d5966bbf809

        Currently I need to compile my own emulation station based on "stable" or "master" branch in official repo adding those changes before.
        I don't know if is possible to count on that modification as default and it could suit for all kind of controllers.

        Maybe anyone with this same controller is working fine without any modification, with an especific firmware version or whatever... please I would appreciate some feedback...

        Thanks in advance...

          I will finally have some free time next week-end to make some test ...
          It is long for me because i have all of them !

          xBox360 Wireless, 8bitDo NES & NES Pro, SNES & SNES Pro, and xBox One SCUF (last one) in USB.
          All is working fine for me in ES and Emulators ... i have configured each of them by hand.

          What is the last release i can test (with the @dvf00 fix ?) , the most up to date, to have more chance all is working fine.
          And i will make my report.
          Thanks

          Life is game, just play it !

              @dvf00 I'll have to look into how I can go about using that commit. I used Meleu's testing scripts to switch to the UIModeInputHandling, but haven't tried to get more granular than that.

                @dvf00 As near as I can tell commit 8462 is the latest, and what I am testing against. It looks like the isMappedTo only gets a value if the controller has explicitly been mapped through the ES Configure Input menu option recently?
                My previous post shows that none of the keys are showing as mapped. I went through the Configure Input menu again, and at the least one key is showing as mapped now in UI ModeController input log. I had changed my unlock full mode pass key so I'm not sure if they're all mapped now. I'll do more testing later.
                Trying @darknior suggestion of tail -f ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt unfortunately did not display any results in PuTTy.
                @Zigurana What is the criteria for isValidInput?

                  I think you need to start emulationstation with the -debug switch to see all those debug messages in the log file.

                    @IamHammer You need to have configured via bluetooh the controller and in addition, it have to be mapped the buttons through ES otherwise I suppose keystrokes are not detected...
                    When you done, exit from ES to cli and run as @mitu said emulationstation -debug, set KIDS mode in UI options and try to comeback to FULL mode with unlock code .
                    Could happen that you see inmediatly the change from KIDS to FULL so is working for you, otherway press F4 and you will see in cli the output of the log.

                    @IamHammer, sorry if I didn't understood your message, english is not my native language...

                      Hmmm, for some reason I'm not getting email notifications on responses. Sorry for the delayed responses.
                      @mitu On the actual retropie device I have been entering emulationstation --debug, and then in SSH I enter tail -f ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt. I'm not getting a live update of the file being written to however.

                        @dvf00 I will double check. I believe everything was configured correctly with bluetooth in retropie-setup (it's not connected via usb). I'll change the passkey again and try again this evening. Thanks!

                          Okay, I've got the Konima code working!

                          I switched the controller mode for the SF30 Pro to "Android Mode" to get the triggers to recognize in the configure input menu. Thanks @Rion for pointing me back to that thread.

                          I paired the controllers again in the bluetooth section of retropie-setup.sh, and went through the configure input process in ES a couple of times just to be sure.

                          I am seeing the es_log file being written to now! Something I want to make clear is for anyone else testing is that inputs are only logged while in a core/system menu, and not while the ES Menu is displayed. This also means that the passkey (Konami code) can only be entered while the gamelist is visible (not the ES UI menu).

                          Here's my output which also answers my question about isValidInput... it's yes when the button press or keydown event is true and no when the keyup event is true.
