      @mediamogul Yes, I have and they work from the commandline.

        Definitely keep the previous fix, but also try wrapping the path to xboxdrv in double quotations:

        8way1='sudo "/opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv" --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.3:1.0-event-joystick --silent --detach-kernel-driver --deadzone=4000 --deadzone-trigger 15% --force-feedback --mimic-xpad --trigger-as-button --device-name "Arcade_Joystick_Player_1_-_8_way_xboxdrv" --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 --evdev-keymap BTN_TRIGGER=x,BTN_THUMB=y,BTN_THUMB2=a,BTN_PINKIE=b,BTN_BASE3=back,BTN_BASE6=start --ui-buttonmap lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void &'

          Just for good measure, I tried on the commandline too and it does work from there.

            I know this was an attempt to simplify the second method from the guide, but it might end up being easier to follow @MadHorse's example, seeing as how this hybrid method isn't working out.

              @mediamogul Hi. Thanks. No problem. I'll have another go with @madhorse technique. I'm just wondering though if that technique is going to work with multiple controllers, but will give it a go.

                What you're looking to do is entirely possible, but it's also a very tailored use case scenario. I have a feeling you'll be dealing with a lot of trial and error no matter what. I'll help as best I can, but it's difficult from the back seat. Plus, my sister keeps kicking me and it smells back here.

                  I am about to try this. I am going to attempt to use a PS4 controller to map a mouse in DosBOX. I have tried Joymap and only got the mouse to move around not capture clicks.

                  I see that Lakka has default mouse capture, but I prefer retropie by far for customization.

                  I am hoping this will solve my issue.

                    You're better off all around. The standalone DOSBox is just more flexible and has less overhead, allowing some of the more complicated and intensive DOS titles to run on the Pi.

                          I would have thought I would see "donotroller" as a device - what did I do wrong ???

                            Not all controllers have a unique event name. I believe you said you were wanting to map your PS4 controller and it appears to be listed above under the name "Sony Interactive Entertainment Wireless Controller". It's event handler is "event0", so you'll need to use "event0" to move on to the next steps.

                              @mediamogul Ok ... I figured out that it was the --mimic -xpad \ that was preventing the controller from being renamed. Do I need that line ?

                                You do not. If it's there, it will mimic the naming scheme and button arrangement of an authentic XBox3600 controller. Without it, you're free to create a virtual controller to your own specs.

                                    @mediamogul OMG - Its working - a little chunky (slow) for command and conquer ... but i think that means I just need to adjust my dosbox config. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

                                    One note ... I am adding the code to my fame config files ... I am not sure if this is the most elegant way of handling this ... what do you think .. here is an example.

                                        @spud11 ... That Commando might be the Sega commando, not the Capcom one. Unless memory is playing tricks on me, I'd have a hard time playing the Capcom one with 4 directions only. I never played the Sega one, so that's why I'm guessing it's that one. I may be wrong though.

                                        Also unsure of whether Rolling Thunder wouldn't allow you to turn while crouching, which would suggest that there'd be use in 8-way controls.

                                        Still, great list, will certainly keep it for reference!

                                          @mediamogul That made me laugh. By the way, I have got it working up to a point using the @madhorse technique.

                                          The code is below, and a couple of interesting pointers for anyone else who finds themselves stuck and is not sure why:

                                          (a) the issue you alluded to with the --device-name problem definitely is a problem. It really doesn't seem to like any "white space" or "brackets" in the name. Adding underscores instead seems to work;

                                          (b) the start of each line shouldn't start with a number. For example, I've got "amiga1" for the name of my first Amiga joystick. If I had that as "1amiga", it would spit out errors. I think that's why my previous code wasn't working - because I had names like "8way" and "4way" for my joysticks. Starting a line with a number is verboten;

                                          (c) although I had set up a separate folder on the pi for my cocktail (arcade vertical) games, I needed to point to mame-libretro to get it working as I'm using lr-mame2003;

                                          (d) it's possible to get 2 (or more) joysticks working at the same time by using & but you have to remember to refer back to the "basic" joystick configuration each time.

                                          #!/bin/sh

                                          		eval $joycommand
                                          	;;
                                          
                                          	intellivision)
                                          	;;
                                          esac
                                          

                                          So where I'm up to with this is that the Amiga joysticks work.

                                          But the same can't be said for the "cocktail" games. When I start Amidar for example, the little yellow writing at the bottom comes up and it informs me that the 4 DragonRise joysticks are set up and also starts joy3restricted and joy4restricted, but that they are unconfigured. The result of that is that I can't press any joystick buttons at all once the rom has begun (although the keyboard still works). Using TAB to get to Mame's internal menu doesn't help as I can't change the buttons. Exiting out of the rom with the keyboard triggers the runcommand-onend.sh file killing xboxdrv and everything then works as per normal using the xpad driver. (If I start Amidar without loading xboxdrv, then everything works but of course I'm using an 8-way unrestricted joystick.)

                                          To troubleshoot, as I'm using lr-mame2003, using putty I have first started xboxdrv for those 2 joysticks (joy3restricted and joy4restricted), then fired up retroarch and configured those joysticks as users 5 and 6, saving the configurations to retroarch.cfg.

                                          I then go back, start Amidar again, and note that joy3restricted and joy4restricted have started, but once again - no buttons work and using the mame TAB interface again doesn't do anything.

                                          Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be great please.

                                            @pjft I definitely can't take credit for the list, but I imagine you'll be right - that some of the games aren't really 4 way. I have the same recollection as you about Commando. I'm sure it's 8 way.

                                            It's going to be trial and error, I feel, for a lot of these games, particularly as there's going to be a need to match the game names to the actual rom names. Haven't figured out yet an automatic method of doing this to save time. May have to do it manually.....
