      yes.

      you keep everything that goes with the first part in the same line.
      --evdev-keymap is for keys and buttons.

        Here is what I have for the onstart.sh

        #!/bin/sh
        if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
        then
        sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv

          I'm still not getting anything to work. I am using scummvm sdl1 if that matters.

          I also tried regular scummvm.

            you have most of it right but there are a few things that were needed
            try this

            #!/bin/sh
            if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
            then
            sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
            sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1   \
            --evdev /dev/input/event0 \
            --silent \
            --detach-kernel-driver \
            --force-feedback \
            --deadzone-trigger 15% \
            --deadzone 4000 \
            --mimic-xpad \

            --ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \

              I'll give it a shot this evening. On a side note, how do you get the code to show up in the black box on here?

                before what you want in the box you put ```

                and if you want red you put `

                  I pasted the code word for word but I still don't get any movement when I launch scummvm and the buttons do not seem to do anything either. Is there something else I can check? Would it help if I posted some settings or something?

                    I did find out that the xboxdrv was not installed. The original directions I found were old and the menus had changed. I figured out the location and installed it but still no controller response.

                      when you are running the game you can put this on the command line.

                      then
                      sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                      sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv    \
                      --evdev /dev/input/event0 \
                      --silent \
                      --detach-kernel-driver \
                      --force-feedback \
                      --deadzone-trigger 15% \
                      --deadzone 4000 \
                      --mimic-xpad \
                      --evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start,KEY_#108=du,KEY_#106=dr,KEY_#103=dd,KEY_#105=dl \
                      --ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
                      --ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
                      
                      &
                      

                      this will force it to start and if there is any errors it will come up.

                      if it is working it will pop up something like this

                      Press Ctrl-C to quit
                      

                      if nothing comes up then there is something else not working. i did try the mapping i gave you so i know there are no errors on it for my system at least

                        Please excuse my ignorance. I'm not sure how to get a command line after I select scummvm from the retropie menu. Do I start scummvm on the retropie menu then ssh into the unit and run the command?

                            Sorry about that. Will this still work at the opening scummvm screen? That's as far as I can get. I don't have any games loaded because I can't move the cursor to load them. This is all I get.

                              yes if you put this in the ssh it will come up with something

                                After that I was able to get the directional stick to work and the buttons.  Once I restarted the unit it stopped working again.  I'm guessing something from the code needs to be added or changed.  Thanks for taking the time to help.  Looks like we or more you might be close to fixing the issue.

                                  that is great, so the hard part is done and over with. now we just need to get it to start when you start scummvm

                                  so now you need to have it look like this in your runcommand-onstart.sh

                                  #!/bin/sh
                                  
                                  if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
                                  then
                                  sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
                                  sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
                                      --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
                                  	--silent \
                                  	--detach-kernel-driver \
                                  	--force-feedback \
                                  	--mimic-xpad \
                                  	--dpad-as-button \
                                          --deadzone 15% \
                                  	--trigger-as-button \
                                  

                                  of course change what needs to be changed, but the top few lines are needed to have the mapping auto start.

                                  post what you have in your runcommand-onstart.sh and i will take a look if it still not starting

                                    Still no luck. Here is what I have.

                                    if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
                                    then

                                      is that all that you have in the run command? if you are missing a few things

                                        Yes. I just copied from guide and changed the button numbers.

                                          ok that is why it is not working. there are commands that are needed before the keymapping

                                          here is the complete runcommand-onstart.sh ( of course you just replace the mapping here with the one that we got working for you)

                                          #!/bin/sh
                                          
                                          ## Name of the emulator
                                          echo $1 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                          
                                          ## Name of the software used for running the emulation
                                          echo $2 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                          
                                          ## Name of the rom
                                          echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                          
                                          ##Executed command line

                                            I'm really confused now with the runcommand-onend.sh. Here is what I have for the onstart.
