Xbox 360 Controller Mapping Problem

[stereotyp]

Hi there,

im about to completly freak out. i cant get the xbox controller to work. what i do is:
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

then install the xboxdrv after that go to the point “Register RetroArch Controller”. after that only the d-pad works the a and b button work in the emnulators.

then i tried:
sudo chown pi /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/installdir/bin
sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 0 >> /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
after that only the d-pad works in emulator.

im pretty sure retroarch uses the “XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg” where everythings is mapped correctly, since i can exit the emulator with L and Select. but why the hell do the other buttons dont work? i cant understand it. that makes no sense to me. please please help me.

this is the used config:
input_device = “Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver)”
input_driver = “udev”
input_b_btn = “0”
input_y_btn = “2”
input_select_btn = “8”
input_start_btn = “9”
input_up_axis = “-5”
input_down_axis = “+5”
input_left_axis = “-4”
input_right_axis = “+4”
input_a_btn = “1”
input_x_btn = “3”
input_l_btn = “4”
input_r_btn = “5”
input_l2_btn = “6”
input_r2_btn = “7”
input_l3_btn = “11”
input_r3_btn = “12”
input_l_x_plus_axis = “+0”
input_l_x_minus_axis = “-0”
input_l_y_plus_axis = “+1”
input_l_y_minus_axis = “-1”
input_r_x_plus_axis = “+2”
input_r_x_minus_axis = “-2”
input_r_y_plus_axis = “+3”
input_r_y_minus_axis = “-3”

input_enable_hotkey_btn = “8”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “4”
input_save_state_btn = “3”
input_load_state_btn = “1”

perhaps someone can copy me his working cfg for a 360 controller?

If you’re using RetroPie image 2.x you don’t need to install xboxdrv. The config you need to edit is retroarch.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/all/

Here is my retroarch.cfg setup for a 360 pad: https://www.petrockblock.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/retroarch_xbox360pad.zip

i use 2.3. when i dont install the xboxdrv the controller doenst stop blinking at all 4 ports. the only way to solve that is to install the xboxdrv

also i cant find that retroarch.cfg when i connect per ssh. folder structure seems diffrently

[trimmtrabb]

Yes you can use xboxdrv instead of xpad: https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/remove-xpad-and-use-xboxdrv-instead-to-stop-controller-light-flashing-constantly/

retroarch.cfg location is /opt/retropie/configs/all/

ok. what i did now:
fresh image on sd. did nothing else as editing the retroarch.cfg in the folder you told me. mapped everything correctly…and still keys dont work. just a and b button work and strangly on the right analogue stick i can move left and right by pressing up and down.

Can you post the contents of retroarch.cfg in plain text

Hey I am having a slightly different issue here is my .cfg file

I found when I had mapped the the controller as mentioned above things ran ok but I didnt have use of the thumbsticks or could I exit or save. I came across these settings and now things work great but I did notice that for some reason i can no longer start a game at Mario Kart on the snes for some reason.

Any Ideas
