Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

@Arcuza said in Xbox 360 Wireless Controller:
There should be only one menu item saying "enable" if it's disabled and "disable" if it's enabled.
By simply selecting 'enable', it will always add the proper configuration to
/etc/rc.localif it doesn't already exist. By selecting 'disable', that line will always be removed. You can manually check it's status by by looking in/etc/rc.local.Edit: A reboot is always required after enabling or disabling xboxdrv in this way.
Also, if I change number of controllers to 1, go out of the menu and go back in, it says 2 again.
This is by design and shouldn't affect normal use.

One question that hasn't been asked yet is if this controller is 1st or 3rd party. This is important as xboxdrv doesn't have direct support for most 3rd party devices.

@mediamogul Hi, I did a fresh install of 3.8.1 and first time setup (enable driver, reboot, configuring both controllers all keys) was flawless. Both controller were working, they also showed correct player # on the controller. Then I did a reboot just to see if they would hook up again. After ES loaded both controllers were blinking but working. After a while (10 seconds) in ES the controller I was using got assigned #1 and stopped working, however the second controller was still blinking but working. Then, after a few seconds (10 seconds) it got assigned #1 as well and stopped working. Really not reliable at all.
I have two Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controllers and a third party PC receiver. The reseller said the receiver is compatible with retropie.
So... When working it's working perfectly, and for hours. My issues are after reboot and when waking up from dimmed mode and controller gets powered on.

Outside of being a kernel issue, this is your primary suspect.
The reseller said the receiver is compatible with retropie.
He may be right, but you'd be surprised how many times resellers will make a claim like that without actually testing anything. The only information you can really trust in situations like this is developer documentation. In this case, that information would come from the xboxdrv project. Below is an official listing of all known supported devices in xboxdrv. If your third party wireless receiver isn't on the list, there's really no accounting for the behavior it might exhibit.

@mediamogul So, if it works flawlessly after first configuration, all keys are perfect on both controllers and led lights showing correct player #. Then after a reboot all kind of strange things happen, do you think the receiver reports different ID:s for example, and that's the noncompability? Is it possible to troubleshoot?

It's tough to say how any piece of unsupported hardware will act. Heck there's always even the chance that it would work just fine.
Is it possible to troubleshoot?
No one else has chimed in thinking that this is a kernel issue, so I'm inclined to leave that notion behind. Using xboxdrv in it's automatic daemon detection mode is likely to be a dead end if the device isn't supported. There is a way to setup xboxdrv for each controller manually, but it requires a fair bit of work and will no longer support hot-swapping of controllers. It might even result in a few unexpected issues, putting you back at square one. You probably need to weigh the amount of trouble it will be to set up against the cost of getting the properly supported hardware.

I use a microsoft adapter with microsoft controllers and i have no issues. I never get a solid light on the controllers. Are you doing something to make the lights go solid? Are you adding stuff in rc.local? Any other stuff you are adding? If so remove it. The drivers work without any setting up of any kind
-
@edmaul69 They go solid if I enable the driver and go through the key mapping configuration. If I disable the driver they blink.
-
@Arcuza how are you enabling it? It should work right out of the box. Sure the lights blink but it works.
-
@edmaul69 Yes, works perfectly! Works after reboot, works after dimmed mode. Only issues are 4 controllers reported active, and I seem to have some issues with keys... Select+L2 don't seem to load state. Would be perfect to have a controller troubleshoot application on menu that shows what keys on which controller you are pressing.
Controller #1: Select + L2 etc
Thank you!
-
@Arcuza i thought loadstate was on the direction pad by default? I disabled them so i cant verify by looking at my settings.
