      @lazd would that fix the issue? also the controller lights keep on flashing rather than just one quarter lighting up.

        @screw said in Wired Xbox360 controller only working in RetroPie menu:

        RetroPie version 4.1

        That is an old release and I don't think it's tested or supported anymore. Regardless, you should install the xpad driver from the RetroPie-Setup menu, but you'll have to update the script first (there's an option in the main menu to do that).

            So I decided to flash RetroPie 4.4 onto another sd card and deleted it off my other to keep the operating systems separate. But would you believe it I’ve got another issue!

            I flashed RetroPie onto the sd and as soon as I power it on I get the message “end kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)

            Any help is appreciated, thanks.

              @screw Looks like a bad image write - use Etcher and write the image again, verifying the image was written correctly.

                @mitu I’ve tried twice with etcher should I try again? Or use a different sd card?

                  Try first formatting the card completely. What sd card are you using ?

                      @screw I live in Australia so I got it at Kmart so it might just be a brand that they only sell their.

                          Turns out 9 zip was the cause of the end kernel panic issue. So if anyone has this same issue use win rar and try updating RetroPie as the controller now works too.

                          Thanks for all the help.

                            @screw One of the advantages of Etcher is that you don't need to extract the image, so you just write it as is.
