Hello
you need to edit recalbox.conf and active xboxdrv driver.
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-(EN)
it must resolved the problem

------------ D2 - XBOX Controllers ------------ Xbox controllers are already supported, but xboxdrv can solve some compatibility issues Enable xboxdrv driver, disable this if you enabled ps3 controllers (0,1)

controllers.xboxdrv.enabled=0

Set the amount of controllers to use with xboxdrv (0..4)

controllers.xboxdrv.nbcontrols=2

thanks for the help, Got the following info this is all the buttons and joystick outputs. Looks like some <p style="text-align: left;"> Testing ...

I get the feeling most questions would be more likely to get answered if we asked them in the relevant core's forum, or emulationstation forum, etc.

shift gears ? 😄 Do these games use triggers and not buttons to accelerate ?

To be clear: The stick IS operating as analog. But the zone of movement where it is analog is very small, kicks in at a relatively high value (presumably at least 4096,4096), and reached 100% input almost immediately with only a very small movement. There is a large area towards the outside of the movement circle, seems like more than half of it, where all movement is at 100% despite not being anywhere near the physical limit of the stick movement. black=no effect grey= effect, engages suddenly at high value, and quickly reaches 100% with very little movement. white=100% effect, reaches 100% well before stick physically reaches edge of range. ^^^ bad ^^^ Modern controller sticks self-centre, so a huge analog deadzone is redundant, and suddenly outputting 100% effect when it's nowhere near 100% of it's physical movement range.. is very tedious.

re: CRT only. Right. So then faux-lightguns.... Is the use of mouse and wii controller likely to be included soon?

NOW WORK AWASOME!!!!!! thanks you a lot!

the button mapping is made on my experience : the 2 lower buttons can easily be pressed by mistake. So, when playing you could combo HK+A and ... reset your game ... so HK is on a flipper button, select is on the right of those 2 buttons, and start is ... well, no need to say 🙂

I finally figured out how to access the recalbox.conf  tool through wifi on my Mac and was able to save from there eventually after lots of false starts.  It's working now and I'm very impressed with recalbox.  Nice work developers, really nice work.  Thank you for your work.

Many thanks Acris, I appreciate the fast response.   Tim

of course all the configs is ready   and plug it, wait 10 seconds, push PS button then unplug  <span style="line-height: 1.5;">of course</span>

Hello @Gerickt I need your es_input.cfg to add your gamepad out of box in recalbox. in ssh : /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh Can you upload the archive request in this page : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Recalbox-support--(FR)

hey ! the usual HK+start combination has been mapped in recalbox 4 to exit mupen

the vibration happens once the new BT master is set on the shanwan. Even if you unplug/replug it on usb, you still have the problem ?

Thank you so much. Worked instantaneously. 😃

Thanks! That helped.

Done some more research and have discovered that the joystick set i bought (ultracabs in UK) are Xin Mo controls.   This page describes how they should be wired : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Xin-mo-(EN)
