      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

            /dev/input/event4
          
          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

                  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 \
                  
                  &
                  
                  

                  if all works then this will come up as soon as you hit enter

                    Here are the results.

                    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
                        sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv

                          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
                              echo $4 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

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

                                
                                ## 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
                                echo $4 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                                
                                if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]

                                      Still no luck. Here is my onstart setup.

                                      ##!/bin/sh

                                      Here are my onend settings.

                                      #!/bin/sh
                                      
                                      sudo killall >/dev/null xboxdrv

                                      I'm not sure why it's not working now.

                                        is your controller event 2 or 0 ?

                                        your earier post when you ran cat /proc/bus/input/devicesit came up with event 0

                                          It's probably event 0. I think I copied the text from one of the reply's and didn't change it. I thought it was supposed to be event 2. I will try it when I get home.

                                            I changed it back to event0 but still not working. I have tried event0, event1, and event2. I'm so confused.
