      Hi!
      I tried to install Virtual Gamepad from the experimental packages.
      Maybe I'm missing something, but it's not working. Installed it, rebooted, opened the web address on a mobile browser, and nothing appears on screen.
      I'm using Retropie 4.0.2, built from a premade SD image from website, on a Raspberry Pi 3 ModelB.
      Any tips how to get it working?
      Thanks!

        I have the same problem with the same configuration (RPi 3, RetroPie 4.0.2). In the link below, is said that virtual gamepad may only work well with RPi2. I think virtualgamepad.sh scrip is not working properly.

        Someone knows how to look for logs or any other information to help me solve this? Thanks guys.

          Did you try the mobile gamepad driver (also in experimental) ? It's newer and may work for you.

            Did you get an error from the script ? A log would be useful. thanks. Did you reboot etc ?

              Hi @BuZz, I did not tried this driver, will take a look to see if it works. I also did not saw any logs. This is kind of stuff that I need to know to proceed. Can you help me pointing some files to look for problems? Thank you in advance.

              Edit: Yeah, I have (soft/hard) rebooted it many times and I also tried executing the script on the command line, which did show some not good info. I should try to make it run and update you here.

                @nocadlee I missed your post sorry - but there was a typo in the module. Please can you update retropie-setup and try installing it again ?
