XBox One controller not working on Raspberry Pie 1 Model B with RetroPi 4.1

[munir]

Hello,

Any help will be highly appreciated.

When I boot the retropi; it takes me to the attached screen where it says it has detected the game pad. But upon pressing the buttons on XBox One controller nothing happens. I've connected using a USB cable.

I see that others have faced this problem on older versions of retropi. But I was expecting that with the latest version things would go smoothly.

By any chance is it because I'm using Raspberry Pie 1 Model B?

Thanks a ton in advance!!

try connecting a keyboard, set dpad buttons + a and b buttons, select+start buttons to navigate, then in retropie setup go to manage packages > manage driver packages > xboxdrv.
Install that driver, reboot then try if you can connect with turning the controller into pairing mode.
If yes > press start on your keyboard > Configure input
if no > go in the bluetooth settings and try to register your controller there

dont connect your controller with a usb cable for these steps
good luck

No matter what I tried, I couldn't get XBOX One and XBOX One S controller working on RetroPie 4.1 (and on 3.8) running on Raspberry Pie 1 Model B.

However, when I tried the same thing on Raspberry Pie 3 Model B, it worked like charm. It worked both for XBOX One and XBOX One S controllers. But I had issues connecting XBOX One S controller via Bluetooth; which I need to research further.

With this experience of mine, I believe we can safely assume that Raspberry Pie 1 Model B is somehow incapable of pairing with XBOX One and XBOX One S controllers.

Thanks,
