@Rascas Oh that's brilliant to know, many thanks. Will stop fessing on this one for now :)

I am having the same problem as of yesterday I upgraded to 3.8 on Retropie and just needed my NES30 Gamepad Joystick to work in conjunction with Kodi. I noticed with my file I created I could only get Left and Up to work with the D-pad. I have tried so many combinations and failed. This is my code here:

<axis limit="-1" id="1">Left</axis>
<axis limit="-1" id="2">Up</axis>
<axis limit="+1" id="1">Right</axis>
<axis limit="+1" id="2">Down</axis>

Any help with this would be great. I am not a coder and new to Linux.

@chavatar about the 8bitbo pro, it can be considered a bug in the joystick support, I will fix it in the next Kodi version (16.2).

I suppose this is the case with Nes30/Sfc30 to?

Rascas

@Rion I don't have neither of this gamepads but I think so, yes.

Yes, I have a SFC30 and I have the same problem: UP and LEFT work, DOWN and RIGHT don't.

I have this same problem with the NES30 Pro. UP and LEFT work DOWN and RIGHT don't. Neither do A, B, X or Y

Is there a workaround?

same issue here.. latest.

any updates on this one?

Rascas

It will be fixed in Kodi 17, when the stable version comes out. Kodi 16 joystick support is experimental (and not official).

I have this problem with the PS4 controller too. I never knew other controllers had this problem too. I hope they fix it in the next release.

For me, out of Retropie, Recalbox and Lakka the only one where it's been a straightforward affair, all working is Recalbox. Running Kodi Isenguard...can't wait for Krypton to catch up ;)

Much prefer Retropie, but hope ppl don't mind the mention.
