[Elgur]

Hey guys!

I'm new to recalbox, but so far it looks awesome!
I've used RetroPie before but wanted to try RecalBox.

My wireless XBox controllers doesn't get detected.
How can I solve this?

Thanks in advance!

@elgur is it xbox 360 or xbox one ?

[Elgur]

@voljega Xbox 360.

[voljega]

@elgur hmmm should work out of the box then, are you sure they are synchronised with the dongle and not with your consoled or another dongle ?

also do you use official image ?

Attention!
For wireless Xbox 360 controllers you need a Wireless USB-Receiver especially for Xbox 360 Controllers (because it does not work over Bluetooth)
You can use the official from Microsoft (expensive) or cheap no-names (like this for example: https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Xbox/dp/B01JC68MHU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1522150751&sr=8-5&keywords=xbox+wireless+receiver&dpID=41yLAnR2urL&preST=SY300_QL70&dpSrc=srch)

so I don't why my generic receiver don't work at all

[joinski]

@benumb
can you test, if your generic receiver works with a windows pc? when it does not work on a windows pc also, then maybe the receiver and/or the controller is not compatible or malfunctional.

[Benumb]

@joinski yes, I didn't test it on PC.

I will do that for start !

[Benumb]

Ok that's working, but the circle don't stop.

hard if if it s synchronized or not.

I've the same problem.

This manual ( https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Manual-(DE) ) say's, that I've to enable "controllers.xboxdrv.enabled" ... but i don't have this option (on version 18.03.30).

Thanks for all your answers!
