Hi,
Same problem here. The RetroPie Emulationstation-menu works fine with the xbox360-controller, but none of the emulators.
First i used

sudo apt-get install xboxdrv to instal the driver – worked fine

sudo xboxdrv -D i 0 --next-controller -i 1 --next-controller -i 2 --next-controller -i 3 --deadzone 4000 --dbus disabled
nothing happend, just a short error

sudo xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --id 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
nothing happend

sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver
terminal said it worked and show me every input from the controller, but the emulators still wont work with the controller.

I dont know how to get into the manuel config

Maybe this could help: https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Setting-up-the-XBox360-controller

I use a xbox360-controller for windows and a RaspberryPi B+ with RetroPie2.3

I started back from zero and tried to fix it, but it doenst work. In Emulationstation no problems in the emulators just the keyboard works but not the controller.
I’ve tried to edit the /etc/rc.local but the controller still dont work.
By the way, i have a wired on, so i replaced the –wid with a –id

@shywolf28: i will try your code tomorrow.

lol didnt let me attach it…see if it does it this way

glad i could help
