[quote=114436]Firstly, exit 0 should be the very last line in rc.local, if it’s missing, add it.

The next thing I see that’s wrong is that you need either this:

xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 1 --led 3 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 2 --led 4 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 3 --led 5 --deadzone 4000 --silent &

You may also need to add a line that says rmmod xpad before either of those lines.

I solved with above script!

Thanks a lot my friend!

[quote=114436]However, something else also strikes me as wrong. You say the lights on the controller never light up? not even once?[/quote]

No,
I said that light never blink, but only still light. Than green light still also on after game start but controller don’t work.
I exclude power problem of controller becouse I can use well in ES.

Can you post complete content of rc.local file so I can re-write completely as well?
Thanks.

Hi Labelwhore
I tried to run again xboxdrv installation and edit rc.local. Now the complete file is:

#!/bin/sh -e

_IP=$(hostname -I) || true
if [ "$_IP" ]; then
  printf "My IP address is %s\n" "$_IP"
fi

sudo chmod +x /dev/uinput

"/opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv" --trigger-as-button --wid 0 -$

xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 0 --led 2 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 1 --led 3 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 2 --led 4 --deadzone 4000 --silent &
sleep 1
xboxdrv --trigger-as-button --wid 3 --led 5 --deadzone 4000 --silent &

.. but nothing is changed… :(

Note: the Github guide said to “put this just before exit 0” bit I can’t see “exit 0” in my rc.local file….

One more thing…
I wrong indication in my previous post:
the controller green light never blink!
I can use my Xbox controller in the main ES menu and I can configure it (fix green light), but it stop to work when I open a game with any emulator.
I can see some error message during game charging but I can’t stop listing before game start. The game starting process is too fast to see well what said…
How can I stop or capture this message to shown you?

[quote=114402]
Let me ask you this, when the controller is working for you in ES, is the light blinking constantly on the controller?

[/quote]

Yes! Green light in pos.1 is constantly blinked and I can move in the main ES menu with my controller.
When I go in any emulator and I runa game, bottom yellow script advice me to check Xbox control on port #1, #2, #3, #0 without result.

@Chris
Yes, on ES ambient the controller works well and I can configure it.

@Labelwhore
I’ll try asap with manual procedure + method 1 and I’ll let you know!

One more question:
what mean “wired controller”?
I have wired USB plugged with wireless receiver.
Can this be condidered wired or wireless?

[davidemol]

I first done the automatic configuration as per GitHub guide (xboxdrv enabled) and after I set up input_joypad_driver to “udev” in the all/retroarch.cfg as per video guide above linked.
Correct?

[davidemol]

I’m using a original Microsoft Xbox 360 controller for PC USB wired with wireless receiver.

[davidemol]

Hi Chris,
of course I configured in ES the arrow key to move in the ES menu with keybord and evrething works.
But when I go in RetroArch green menu or any emulator, don’t works!

I also tried to manually set up input_joypad_driver to “udev” in the all/retroarch.cfg (correct), but I don’t see result…. :(

What can you suggest me??
David

[davidemol]

Hi Catrinisin,
I have problem like yours too.
I follow the video guide but I stop in the retroarch setup green page because keyboard and joypad don’t work!
I have wireless USB keyboard and Xbox 360 wired controller.

I spent a lot of hours today around this problem and I becoming crazy!
Please help me!
