            Do you see the device under 'devices and printers' as a gamepad ?

            This command should be executed on a Pi, from a command line after you exited EmulationStation. On Windows, it doesn't work.

                OK, then it means that /dev/input/js0 does not exist, so the system doesn't see it the USB connection as a gamepad/joystick.

                    I don't think so, on Linux you'll rarely need to do that, almost all drivers are included.

                    Because in market it worked

                    It worked with the PI or another PC ?

                        Maybe, but I'm not aware of any driver included with Linux for an DB9 to USB adapter. Ask the seller why your gamepad doesn't work on Windows and if the adapter works with Linux.
