      @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 can always cut stuff out

            and stay out of rc.local

                  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

                        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
