          @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

                i say go for the last one
                you can always cut stuff out

                and stay out of rc.local

                  you will be doing your work in the runcommand.onstart

                    (This template)

                      close
                      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/[•] \

                        https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Universal-Controller-Calibration-&-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/

                        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

                                            it all good, lol

                                            --evdev-keymap KEY_#305=a,KEY_#304=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#310=tl,KEY_#311=tr,KEY_#314=back,KEY_#315=start \
                                            

                                            this is your keymap for the controller.

                                            now with

                                            --ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT,b=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,back=KEY_ESC \
                                            

                                            you map what said buttons will do

                                            again im still messing with the dpad
