Issues with wireless Xbox 360 controller in RetroArch
-
Hardware: Odroid XU4
Power Supply used: 15V 4A (60W power supply for CloudShell 2 case)
RetroPie Version Used: 4.2
Built From: Manually installed on top of Ubuntu 16.04.3 (https://odroid.in/ubuntu_16.04lts/ubuntu-16.04.3-4.9-minimal-odroid-xu4-20170824.img.xz)
USB Devices connected: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows, ORICO BTA-402 Bluetooth Adapter (no active bluetooth devices yet), CloudShell 2 Front Panel
Controller used: Official Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (xpad driver)After getting past the known issue with the right trigger when configuring the controller in EmulationStation, I've had some very odd behavior in RetroArch (both in game and in the RetroArch GUI). The controller works flawlessly in EmulationStation, but when I load up a game, the controller stops functioning. If I reset the controller by popping & reinserting the battery, it seems to work, but if I bring up the RetroArch GUI, it stops working again, and I have to reset the controller again. At that point, the controls become really jumpy (the d-pad will jump over random entries with each press, etc). At one point, I had it working perfectly, but that was before I figured out how to get ES to configure the right trigger. I'm going to try switching the triggers to work as buttons, to see if that helps with the problem.
