XBox One Controller – setup bug (solved)

[halle]

Hello!

I’m new to Retropie and this is my first attempt to use emulation on my Raspberry Pi.
With my setup I’m using a XBox One Controller.
The controller works fine in RetroPie menu, but in the emulated games the left/right/up/down buttons won’t work.

The controller is detected and the configuration guide works.

I’ve think there is a bug – and i found a workaround that works for me.

The problem is in the file /retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Microsoft_X-Box_One_pad.cfg

The original (not working file) looks like this:

input_device = "Microsoft X-Box One pad"
input_driver = "udev"
input_up = "h0up"
input_right = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase = "h0right"
input_down = "h0down"
input_left = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease = "h0left"
input_a_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_x_btn = "2"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "2"
input_y_btn = "3"
input_l_axis = "+2"
input_load_state_axis = "+2"
input_r_axis = "-5"
input_save_state_axis = "-5"
input_l2_btn = "4"
input_r2_btn = "5"
input_l3_btn = "9"
input_r3_btn = "10"
input_start_btn = "6"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "6"
input_select_btn = "7"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "7"
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 = "+3"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-3"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+4"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-4"

The file working (manually edited) looks like this:

input_device = "Microsoft X-Box One pad"
input_driver = "udev"
input_up_btn = "h0up"
input_right_btn = "h0right"
input_state_slot_increase_btn = "h0right"
input_down_btn = "h0down"
input_left_btn = "h0left"
input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "h0left"
input_a_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_x_btn = "2"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "2"
input_y_btn = "3"
input_l_axis = "+2"
input_load_state_axis = "+2"
input_r_axis = "-5"
input_save_state_axis = "-5"
input_l2_btn = "4"
input_r2_btn = "5"
input_l3_btn = "9"
input_r3_btn = "10"
input_start_btn = "6"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "6"
input_select_btn = "7"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "7"
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 = "+3"
input_r_x_minus_axis = "-3"
input_r_y_plus_axis = "+4"
input_r_y_minus_axis = "-4"

Note that the diffrence between the files are missing ‘_btn’ suffix

I hope this post can help other users and also notify the creator of retropie-software. Thanks!

Hey I would like to piggy back on this if i could, With my xbox one controller I am having issues with the exit buttons, I have the config setup to leave the rom and go out back to emulation station but once that occurs the controller basically “bricks” along with system in the menu screen of the SNES for example and I have to restart the console to get control again? any ideas?
