xbox one controller bug

herb_fargus

@mitu yeah I know @meleu had a tool for the joypad order, but I'm not as familiar with how that works and if is able to differentiate based on Mac or something else. Joypad order with Bluetooth has always been finicky particularly when connections are intermittent. I'd like to narrow down that the issue is really the joypad order and not an underlying driver issue

What do you need from me to fix this

herb_fargus

@aatheronb we need the aforementioned logs so we can rule out whether or not this is a joypad ordering issue or an underlying driver issue

@aatheronb Update your Xbox controller firmware - https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/how-to-update-xbox-one-controller-windows-10 - before trying other tests. Do you have the exact model of the controller(s) ? I assume they're Xbox One S - are they MS genuine or clones ?
Also, as Herb said, try to provide the logs I mentioned a while ago (/dev/shm/runcommand.log).

@aatheronb After getting the logs and posting them on pastebin.com, try the following configuration :

Open the advanced configuration editor - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Configuration-Editor/#advanced-configuration - and go to
a. 1. Configure basic libretro emulator options
b. (next screen) 1. Configure default options for all libretro emulators
c. 7. Choose joypad order
In the joypad order screen, each index (1 to 4) will appear as unset. Press enter on each index to assign it the corresponding Xbox controller:
a. for index 1, assign controller #0
b. for index 2 assign controller #1
c. for index 3 assign controller #2 and
d. for index 4 assign controller #3.
After you do this, click Cancel to go to the previous screen, where the menu entry should read now 7. Choose joypad order (0 1 2 3) (just like in the picture above).

This setting should make the controller connection order determine also the player number - i.e. 1st controller paired/connected should become P1, 2nd one P2, etc.

Try going through the steps above and

Try the steps from my previous topic, but after you to the configuration remove the keyboard and then restart. Connect the controllers back and see if the controllers are arranged as configured (1st connected - P1, 2nd connected - P2, etc.) and the mapping sticks.

EDIT: do you intend to keep the keyboard connected to the Pi all the time, or are you just using it for configuration ?

@mitu it works now
i need to get a better bluetooth addapter its sorta delayed when all 4 controllers are connected but other than that its fine
