      Hello finaly i got the retropie working. My first testrun was without the powerblock drivers and then the xbox 360 controller was working fine.

      Now i managed to get the powerblock drivers working but somehow the xbox 360 driver is working crappy after this.
      It works...... works not. Like they have of a mind of there own.
      Anyone a suggestion what is wrong?

      P.S i am a realy noop My son helped me so hope the advise is not to technical.

      Thanks!

        @Jo65 the power block isn't the issue, its likely the incompatibilities with the latest firmware. I'd use the xpad driver:

          Thank you for the quick reply.
          I am using the xpad drv. But the problem stil is there.
          I think have installed it correctly, and the controller works. But it is flashing as conectet as four controllers.
          Afeter a while it is conected as one controller then it stops working.
          Best solution so far... I am using my psx controller.
          p.s. i have installed the latest version of retropie

            @Jo65 I know that sometimes there are incompatibilities between diff controllers so it may be possible there is something with the power block driver that conflicts with xpad, @petrockblog may have a better understanding of that as he did all the power block stuff

              My son had a good idea, We make a new sd card and try the controllers without the poweblock script. If it works correctly then we try with the poweblock script installed and see what happens then. Just to be sure. Thank you so far for the help.

                  Hello I think we have the problem solved.
                  I think it was just the wrong software, and not reading the solutions good.
                  I thought i was using the xpad driver, but these was not available in the one i used.
                  I downloaded the latest retropie from the site and after installing it on a different sd cart=d i saw this was an extra driver.
                  Selected this one and evrything worked again.
                  So now i am going to install this software on the 32gig card i normaly use and hope it works as great as on the 4 gig test card.
                  Thanks for the help.
