Hello guys,
I’m trying having trouble setting up wireless xbox controllers on Retropie v3.0 beta 2.
They were working fine when I booted the first time but the lights on the controllers where blinking, so I installed xboxdrv using the retropie setup script.
The lights stopped blinking and were assigned correctly for player 1 and 2, but now when I try to setup the controllers using the setup script for autoconfig, I get the following error message (and the script will not ask me to press buttons, it just quits):
RetroArch: udev_add_pad: [udev]: Plugged pad: Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver) (0000:0000) on port #0.
RetroArch: udev_add_pad: [udev]: Pad #0 (/dev/input/event10) supports 0 force feedback effects.
RetroArch: udev_add_pad: [udev]: Plugged pad: Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver) #2 (0000:0000) on port #1.
RetroArch: udev_add_pad: [udev]: Pad #1 (/dev/input/event11) supports 0 force feedback effects.
RetroArch: input_joypad_init_first: Found joypad driver: “udev”.
Couldn’t open joystick #6.
grep: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/tempconfig.cfg: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/tempconfig.cfg’: No such file or directory
chown: cannot access `/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/.cfg’: No such file or directory
I figure the script is not identifying the controllers after xboxdrv has been configured.
I can manually edit retroarch.cfg and assign buttons, it will work, but since I have a couple of SNES controllers with a USB adapter, I wanted to make use of autoconfig to switch controllers on the fly.
If I edit retroarch.cfg manually and setup the controllers, they do work.
Any ideas on what could be done so the xbox controller are recognized on autoconfig?
