      with xdrive everything can be made to work

      here is MY old mapping i used to need to use

      #!/bin/sh
      
      if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
      then
      sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
      sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
          --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
      	--silent \
      	--detach-kernel-driver \
      	--force-feedback \
      	--mimic-xpad \
      	--dpad-as-button \
      	--trigger-as-button \
      	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
      	--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a,KEY_#305=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#312=lt,KEY_#313=rt,KEY_#310=lb,KEY_#311=rb,KEY_#317=tl,KEY_#318=tr,KEY_#314=back,KEY_#315=start \
      	--calibration x1=-32767:0:32767,y1=-32767:0:32767,x2=-32767:0:32767,y2=-32767:0:32767 \
      	--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
      	--ui-axismap x1=REL_X:10,y1=REL_Y:10 \
      	--ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT,b=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,back=KEY_ESC \
      	--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
      	--ui-axismap x2=void \
      &
      fi
      

      yours was getting there but its missing a bit for it all work.

      #!/bin/sh

            --evdev is the code the controller sends out
            --ui is what we want the controller to do.

            so exampler from mine
            i had the a key mapped as the left mouse button

            --evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a
            
            --ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT

                  the buttons are the easy part. the dpad is tricky for me.
                  so i think work on getting the other buttons mapped. as i do some playing on my end

                    sorry to be a headach ...

                    i guess the thing that confuses me the most is the steps

                    like there is alot of steps unless it can be simplfyed somehow

                    yes the d pad is what confuese me alot too

                          @escc1986 yes thats right.
                          the event will change as things are plugged in and out

                          so is you dont play to have a keyboard in there full time best to set if for event 0

                                      you need this on the top or it will not know when to start the mapping

                                      if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
                                      then
                                      sudo killall >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 xboxdrv
                                      sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 \
                                          --evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

                                        go to the

                                        Key-Mapping For Individual Emulators part to get a start on how the runcommand needs to look like

                                        but for now i think you should just put your mapping in a txt on your computer.

                                        there are ways to test it before you setup the run command

                                          not sure what to put here

                                          --evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

                                          (the dot)

                                            just use the event and the number so for you it will be event0
                                            i could never get the id-to work

                                            think you could send me a link or something for your controller.
                                            when you posted the event codes there are alot more buttons then i would of thought for a NES
