xbox wireless controller - xbox button not working

@fnpanic said in xbox wireless controller - xbox button not working:

i tested with the share button but does not work. I now set the select button as hotkey and this works. For me the two buttons do not work in retroarch.

Can you post the .cfg file produced by EmulationStation when you select the Xbox button ?

fnpanic

you mean this one?

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/Xbox\ Wireless\ Controller.cfg

@fnpanic Yes.
EDIT: in RetroArch's joypad config repository, the button (8) shows up, so I'm thinking it should be detected (see here). Is your controller a genuine MS XBox controller or a clone ?

It is a genuine XBox wireless controller for xbox series X. I updated to the latest firmware.

Here is the config generated by es:

..
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"

OK, so the hotkey enable button is saved correctly, just like in the profile that RetroArch has online. I don't understand why it doesn't work in-game, it's correctly configured in the .cfg file.

fnpanic

Me too. Is there a debug mode to see what is loaded and what is pressed?

fnpanic

I would guess that the vendor is and the product is do not match any udev rule so only the buttons which are common on all gamepads work.

You can add libretro_log_level = 0 to retroarch.cfg and run with verbose logging, but I don't know if there's more debug info shown for the input system in RetroArch.

I would guess that the vendor is and the product is do not match any udev rule so only the buttons which are common on all gamepads work.

I don't think udev and Prod/Vendor ID have an influence here. RetroArch loads the .cfg profile based on device name and the Product/Vendor IDs are optional - though you're still running an older version of RetroPie because recent versions add the vend/prod IDs to the .cfg file.

Are you sure you have a genuine Xbox controller ?

fnpanic

100% sure. I bought it directly form Amazon (not marketplace) and the official firmware update tool worked also.

The controller works perfectly with es and Linux. Only libretro seems to ignore the none standard button (xbox).
