Hi.
Pretty new to Retropie/RPI in general but I’ve learned a lot the last days.
Thing is, I’ve been playing all sorts of emus & roms with a PS2-clone USB wired joypad “GreenTechAsia”, with nothing to complain about.
Then yesterday I purchased the official “Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows & Xbox 360 Console”
(Link: This one: Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller)
… and used this Youtube-guide:
RetroPie: Xbox wireless controller setup on Raspberry Pi – by Floob
… which refers to these instructions:
Github: Setting up the XBox360 controller
… but with lesser satisfaction.
I know that the USB-reciever which is plugged in to the RPI should “detect” 4 controllers natively, and that’s correct when I check the js*-files in /dev/input/
However after following – the exact – instructions of that Youtube video & the Github instructions, my Emulationstation “detects” 3 joypads instead of only 1 controller (which it’s supposed to be).
A look in the /dev/input folder shows me js0, js1 and js2.
The input js1 is the only one that responds when doing a jtest.
That’s.. well irritating to say the least… since retroarch-joypad configure goes for the js0-input.
All in all:
If I only knew how to “get rid” of the other 2 phantom controllers so Emulationstation only detects 1 (real) controller would be nice.
Even nicer would be if I managed to set my Xbox 360 wireless joypad from js1 to js0 – so I could run the retroarch joypad config properly.
I’m used to having my good ‘ol wired USB pads properly set up via retroarch and then to be found in the /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs/ folder
I’ve tested to just remove the phantom js-files, but after reboot they spawn alive those little twitchers… grrr!
Help me!
It sucks having a brand new USD $50 controller to be collecting dust if I don’t work this out.
The normally refered to retroarch.cfg, es_systems.cfg and es_config.cfg files – for me – are “mysterial” files that I don’t in any way have the slightest grip of.
Besides from switching paths for roms & set video_smooth = true, that is 
Otherwise I think I’ve got a pretty good platform to build from now, a RPI2 + Retropie 2.6 + loads of roms.
Did the “Binary based” install in RetroPieSetup.
And the “Perform script update” … if that could make it easier for you to help me?
Anyways, thanks in advance.
