        so the way i do things now is i have a command that gets ran when i pick a certain game, unlike the way we where just playing with. that way is always running in the back ground in a way waiting for a game that needs is to start and away it goes.

        so im hoping that i can get my way to work and we can go from there, cuz i think even with what ever settings or naming that has been done it will not matter.

        plus if you get to any other games that need something custom like the games in PORTS. it is very easy to copy and past from one to the other

            ok here goes, from what i was able to test it does work on my system and it does over ride whatever preconfiged controls

            in the rom/scummvm folder open the +start scummvm.sh and add this line under the #!/bin/bash but before anything else

            sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 --evdev /dev/input/event0 --config /opt/retropie/configs/all//xdrive/scumm.cfg &
            

            dont forget to change the event number to match yours

            now in the config folder go to the all folder and make a new folder named xdrive

            in there make a new file called scumm.cfg
            in there paste this

            [xboxdrv]
            silent=true
            deadzone=4000
            deadzone-trigger=15%
            dpad-as-button=false
            trigger-as-button=true
            detach-kernel-driver=true
            #force-feedback=true
            mimic-xpad=true
            
            [evdev-absmap]
            ABS_X=x1
            ABS_Y=y1
            ABS_Z=x2
            ABS_RZ=y2
            ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x
            ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y
            
            [evdev-keymap]
            BTN_SOUTH=a
            BTN_EAST=b
            BTN_NORTH=x
            BTN_WEST=y
            BTN_TL=lb
            BTN_TL2=lt
            BTN_TR=rb
            BTN_TR2=rt
            BTN_SELECT=back
            BTN_START=start
            BTN_THUMBL=tl
            BTN_THUMBR=tr
            
            [ui-axismap]
            x1=KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT
            y1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP
            dpad_x=REL_X:10
            dpad_y=REL_Y:10
            
            [ui-buttonmap]
            a=BTN_LEFT
            b=KEY_LEFTCTRL
            x=KEY_ENTER
            y=KEY_R
            lb=KEY_C
            lt=KEY_A
            rb=KEY_SPACE
            rt=KEY_D
            back=KEY_F5
            start=KEY_ESC
            tr=KEY_K
            tl=KEY_Y
            
            # EOF #
            

            now of corse you need to change the buttons to mactch your controller.
            these are from my setup

            there will be some fine tuning that you will need to do, but this i hope should get you to work.

              Question :

              How do you create a new folder "xdrive" in command ?

              I made a mistake and

              Sudo nano xdrive ( sudo nano means txt from what I found out )

              How do you create a new folder ?

                mkdir /opt/retropie/configs/all/xdrive

                to make the config file
                then sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/xdrive/scumm.cfg

                i just network into mine from the computer and use explorer to do most of everything
                so i just right click for everything, lol

                        that should work,

                        if not

                        this is what the buttons are called when you press then vs what you are pressing.
                        example you dont want this
                        BTN_START=start. you want this BTN_TR2=start

                        [evdev-keymap]
                        BTN_SOUTH=a
                        BTN_EAST=b
                        BTN_NORTH=x
                        BTN_WEST=y
                        BTN_TL=lb
                        BTN_TL2=lt
                        BTN_TR=rb
                        BTN_TR2=rt
                        BTN_SELECT=back
                        BTN_START=start
                        BTN_THUMBL=tl
                        BTN_THUMBR=tr
                        

                        and

                        this is what you want the buttons to do

                        [ui-buttonmap]
                        a=BTN_LEFT
                        b=KEY_LEFTCTRL
                        x=KEY_ENTER
                        y=KEY_R
                        lb=KEY_C
                        lt=KEY_A
                        rb=KEY_SPACE
                        rt=KEY_D
                        back=KEY_F5
                        start=KEY_ESC
                        tr=KEY_K
                        tl=KEY_Y
                        

                        now i have a bunch of things you dont need so just delete them as you go.

                          How does it look by you ?

                          if this looks ok ....

                          where do i put this config in the scumm.config

                          then what would i need to do

                          reboot and try game , right ?

                                same as before

                                dpad didnt work

                                L = space

                                R= f2

                                      you put scumm.cfg in the xdrive folder
                                      and you +Start ScummVM.sh looks good leave it

                                      Remove everything that you don,t have a key assigned to for both the keymap and buttonmap

                                          this is what i ended up with

                                          this is the scumm.cfg. that is in the config/all/xdrive folder

                                          # EOF #
                                          

                                          and it works for me.

                                          so as long as you have your +Start ScummVM.sh looking like this that is in the roms/scummvm folder

                                          #!/bin/bash
                                          
                                          sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 --evdev /dev/input/event0 --config /opt/retropie/configs/all//xdrive/scumm.cfg &
                                          
                                          game="$1"
                                          pushd "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm" >/dev/null
                                          /opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --fullscreen --joystick=0 --extrapath="/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/extra" $game
                                          while read id desc; do
                                              echo "$desc" > "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/$id.svm"
                                          done < <(/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --list-targets | tail -n +3)
                                          popd >/dev/null
                                          

                                          and the button maps named as scumm.cfg and saved in configs/all//xdrive

                                          everything should work fine. other then that i dont know.

                                          when you start a game run
                                          cat /proc/bus/input/devices
                                          you should have your controller and then a new one called Microsoft X-Box 360 pad then you know the file is starting.
                                          if not then it is not seeing something.

                                          we'll go from there

                                            i reboot

                                            now i enter the game in scumm and it doesnt run

                                            it doesnt start , any idea ?
