      After looking at this wiki, creating the joystick.xml didn't seem to work and, when I moved on to the official Kodi wiki (http://kodi.wiki/view/keymap) the Keymap Editor Program didn't pick up anything from my controllers despite them being plugged in and working in the EmulationStation interface. A bit further down there was a section about manually modifying some more xml files. I don't understand how I can find the different button numbers.

      Thanks again,
      Josh

          You didn't mention what is your gamepad, but pretty much is explained in the Kodi wiki link in the Retropie Kodi section. If you aren't understandig how it works, which is normal, since it is not very straightforwarding, the best for you is to ask in Kodi forum, you will get better support there I think, because it is a Kodi specific question, not a RetroPie one. The name of your controller is a good way to start ;)

            My controller is just a generic USB SNES Controller @Rascas.

              There is no such thing as generic "USB SNES Controller". The original SNES controllers aren't USB. Check the RetroPie Kodi wiki to check the real name of your controller.
