Reply To: XBOX360 wireless controller works in emulationstation but not in retroarch etc

The issue for me is that I am using the controller for kodi as well, so I have it set up to work as a (“fake”) keyboard according to this tutorial:

https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/how-to-xbox-360-controller-osmc/877

launching

/usr/bin/xboxdrv --config /home/osmc/xbmc.ini --silent --autofire RT=25 --autofire LT=25 --autofire du=200 --autofire dd=200 --autofire dl=500 --autofire dr=500 &

The xbmc.ini maps the keys to represent button strokes, e.g.

[ui-buttonmap]
# Face buttons
A = KEY_ENTER
B = KEY_BACKSPACE
X = KEY_X
Y = KEY_ESC

Now when I launch emulationstation (and connected emulators) I want to avoid relaunching xboxdrv as I’d need to do this every time I jump between kodi and emulationstation (which I tried but proved quite shaky as my launch scripts aren’t really behaving).

Any ideas?
