Thanks for the clarification, it appeared that I was running as root but did not have some of the boxes checked under permissions. I’ve got that cleared up now and the controls are working (WHEW!) Your pretty great man keep up the awesome work and if I have any more issues I’ll be sure to shoot you a message :)

Hey duckclimber! First off I’d like to say how thankful I am for the quick run through on this fix. It’s been driving me nuts for ages haha. I was having the same issue with the xin mo controller reading the axis of both joysticks and need them read separately. It appears I’m on the home stretch but I’ve ran into a bit of a snag with STEP 8.

I’ve chosen to use WinSCP to transfer my files back and forth. When dragging the kernel over to /home (the following error is received)

Cannot create remote file
‘home/custom_kernel_1.20150818-1.tar.gz.filepart’.

Permission denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied

After this I had put the file into the folder /home/pi. (also includes the folders RetroPie and RetroPie-Setup)

When on the command line to type for prompts I entered as follows:

$cd /home/
/home $ tar -xf custom_kernel_1.20150818-1.tar.gz
tar: custom_kernel_1.20150818-1.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Now I’m at a complete loss. I’ve tried this with my Raspberry Pie 2 on version 3.0 and 3.4 of the SD card image and come to the same conclusion.

Any help or advice would be amazing! I can also offer more information if needed.
