Retropie - fix Controller issues (led blink, d-pad button)
Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2015 5:39 pm
To get rid of the led blink (controller #led):
Disable "old" kernel driver:
Modify /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf and add line:
Install/Enable XBox Controller driver:
You can install the XB360 driver using the retropie_setup script. Run the script like this:
Use Option 3 (SETUP) and look for "Install XBox contr. 360 driver". In RPie 2.6 this was pretty much at the bottom of the list.
The driver installation should be pretty quick and should not require more manual intervention at this point. When the driver is installed, quit the setup script.
Modify config files:
/etc/rc.local
Reboot the Retropie
