      Hi, I'm a newcomer in the forum and at recalbox, and need your help already!
      I've just bought a Mad Catz wired controller (Xbox 360), model WWE All Stars, but I could not configure it on recalbox. It is recocnized as "generic x-box usb pad" (if I am not wrong), and I'm getting two problems: a) I could not configure the RT and LT buttons (top buttons) as R2 and L2, they does not works at all; b) the menu button, configured as hot key, keeps blinking all the time.
      All other funcions are fine. I already tried to enable xbox drivers by editing the configuration file, but the controller is not recognized as a Xbos 360 controller. Any ideas to get RT and LT working and solves the blinking led? Thanks and sorry my bad english. In time: I am using Recalbox 4.0.

        Hello

        you need to enable xboxdrv driver and disable psx driver in recalbox.conf
        https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-(EN)

        ## Please enable only one of these
        # -------------- D1 - PS3 Controllers ------------ #
        ##Enable PS3 controllers support
        controllers.ps3.enabled=0
        ## Choose an driver between official, shanwan and gasia if you have dualshock clones (official,shanwan,gasia)
        controllers.ps3.driver=official
        
        
        # ------------ 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=1
        ## Set the amount of controllers to use with xboxdrv (0..4)
        controllers.xboxdrv.nbcontrols=2
        

        reconfigure gamepad in emulationstation menu.

          Hi! Thx for the answear. I already tried it and doesn't work. When I did it (exactly as the screen above) three controllers apearred in emulation station menu: #0 generic x-box usb pad (or something like that, #1 xbox 360 controller and # 2 xbox 360 controller. My Mad catz is recognized as #0 generic x-box usb pad, not as a xbox 360 controller... I think I need to find a way to configure the "generic x-box usb pad driver", but I don't have any idea on how to do it.

                No, just the Mad Catz. Let me explain: first I turned on recalbox, with no controller or anything conected at all; after I edited the recalbox.conf with NotePad++ (by pc wifi) and restart the recalbox; after restart I pluged the Mad Catz Xbox fight pad and when I get to controller configuration on emulation station there where 3 controllers there (#0, #1 and #3 as I listed berfore), but the only controller connected is the fight pad, recognized as #0 generic x-box usb pad. The pad is not recognized as a xbox 360 controller, because that I get three controllers in list, I presume...

                          @WSP77 well, i guess it won't help : your pad is configured by the xpad driver, and unknown to xboxdrv ... We could make it work with xboxdrv but it's a little complicated :

                          • requires you blacklist xpad
                          • create a dedicated conf file for xboxdrv
                          • add it to the start process

                            Well, I tried and got no success. By disabling PS3 (0) controllers and enabling xboxdrv (1 and 1) I got 2 controllers identified by emulation station: #0 Generic X-box pad and # 1 Xbox Gamepad (US...IVER).
                            The Ma Catz fight pad is just recognized as #0, and I could not make LT and RT works... I think this is end of the line for me...

                                @WSP77 maybe this will be solved once rockaddicted updates the xpad driver on recalbox 4.1

                                  I will wait then, to be honest I bought this joypad just to play arcade and Mega Drive games properly on Recallbox. ^^
