      hi, i purchased a controller (trust gxt 540) today and hooked it up to my retropie as fast as i could.
      only to find that the device wont show. so i took the "jstest" and found that on my js0 i had a xbox controller.
      i searched and read some guides. updated the retropie and xpad and xboxdrv.
      and now i am clueless and dont know if i should return the controller or what not. it is specified that the controller is for pc and ps3

        Please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post.

        Your controller seems to have a switch to toggle it between Xinput/DirectInput, try setting it to Xinput and see if it gets detected. Uninstall the xboxdrv, if the controller is Xinput compatible then it should be detected and work only with the xpad driver.
