Hey there Bigdrogba,

I just had the controller connected before powering on the Pi2 and it worked from there. I should note that I’m using the Play & Charge kit that came with the controllers, but from what I can tell this is more than the 360 Play & Charge kits that only supplied power as the XbOne ones pass control information down the USB as well.

Whilst mine is an “official Microsoft” one, I don’t see anything special from the exterior apart from a charge light which turns off when the battery is fully charged. I will try this again with just a standard micro-USB cable and let you know the outcome.

As Gonzo28 mentioned, you can confiigure the controller via the retroarch-joyconfig command. There is a straight-forward way to do this on the Wiki here.

I haven’t uploaded any ROMS or BIOS files to the Pi yet and only got so far as setting up Quake; and then just spent an hour or so playing that!

I’ll be busy for the next couple of days, but will try to do some more testing in the coming week.

So initial report is that it seems promising! When the system boots up it automatically detects the XbOne controller and I run through the basic left-right-up-down setup and can navigate through the menu options.

I haven’t transferred across any ROMS yet, but will do so soon. I tried the shareware games that were already packaged with the build and both Doom and Quake seemed unresponsive to controller input, so a problem there.

I haven’t run through the configuration mentioned here, as I figured this is only for the 360 controller (as the article name suggests), but will jump into the system config soon to have a look at some things.

I’ll note that I don’t have “wired XbOne” controllers per se; these are just the normal wireless ones that I’m using with the USB cables, so when shutting the RetroPi system down, these automatically sense a loss of connection and search for the Xbox One wirelessly. This isn’t so much of a “problem” when turning off the Retro, but can be an issue when rebooting it, as I noticed some funky modprobe errors when doing this, as the system (presumably) notices that there are problems sending input the the controller (naturally as it has a Xbox One and a RetroPi trying to direct it).

I’ll note that the system build info shows it’s using kernel 3.18.5, so this is probably the same Debian build as Raspbian, just cut down and tailored for RetroPi.

More troubleshooting soon!

Howdy y’all,

Only just came across this project today and am already flashing up a spare SD that I’ve got with the v2.5.0beta image. I’m using the RasPi2, currently crunching data on Raspbian with BOINC, but wanted to note that the kernel at time of typing is 3.18.5.

This is using the 31/01/2015 build. You can get the latest version here.

Anyway, I’ll give the RetroPi v2.5.0beta image a go later today with the wired controllers I have (Xbox One a.k.a. XbOne) and will let everyone know how this goes!
