PS with Xbox One controller issue...

Mailo

Hello guys,

Just few weeks ago I bought myself my first Pi - wanted to start from the Pi Zero and I love it.

...except that I have a problem with the Playstation controls that is driving me nuts for over a week now, I have literally spent over 10 hours trying to figure it out reading every possible resource that I can find and to no avail.

Pi Model or other hardware: Pi Zero
Power Supply used: 2 A
RetroPie Version Used: Latest, downloaded it last week from the official website.
USB Devices connected: Just a 2in1 keyboard with a mousepad
Controller used: Xbox One
Error messages received: None
Emulator: PCSX-REARMED

Here it is:

I am using a Xbox One controller which serves me well with any other emulator except PCSX-REARMED. Since I can't use LR-PCSX-REARMED due to the hardware limitations of the Pi Zero I am trying desperately to configure the controls on the PCSX-REARMED.

Now, the issue that I am getting is very weird and upon google searching I found out just few people that had it before. This post here. No matter what I do, every time I try to configure the controls from the quick menu, the only reading the emulator gets is "/x00". I am unable to bind any other key regardless of what I press on the controller.

What I have tried the following:

Both analog and Standard mode
Reinstalling PCSX-REARMED
Manually edit the controls in the PCSX.CFG file - I was not sure how to do that so I tried copying control codes from an xbox 360 controller. Unsurprisingly, it didn't work
Tried both with BIOS and HLE. I know there shouldn't be a connection, but tried anyway.
Deleted the input file for the Retropie and remapped the controls in Emulation Station.

Your ideas will be greatly appreciated.

@Mailo is it a wired or wireless controller? If wireless try installing the xpadneo driver. See instructions here:

It's a wireless controller from an Xbox One.

Just tried that man, no difference. Unpaired the controller, installed it and re-paired it. No difference whatsoever. Just getting /X00 on everything.

Anything else I can do?

@Mailo sorry man, that is the extent of my knowledge with the xbox one controller. That usually works for most xbox one issues.

@quicksilver

Thanks anyways. It's really weird. You think there will be any good to try reinstalling Retropie?

@Mailo only other thing I can think of is using xboxdrv to make a custom mapping for pcsxrearmed. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Universal-Controller-Calibration-&-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv

It's not incredibly difficult to do but for someone just starting it may be a bit daunting.

@quicksilver Will give it a try and report back. Thank you!
