Although other Xbox gamepad drivers are now available, this package is still useful as an input remapper for programs that support only Xbox controllers.

This package is now based on a fork that aims to keep the program working. (Original project ceased development around Sep 2022.)

Here is an updated version with the modifications of ttherouanne that worked for me: https://github.com/samleybrize/aur-xboxdrv

I proceeded with the modifications ttherouanne listed below and xboxdrv is working correctly after that.

Hello, it's working for me after few modifications: - add armv7h in the 'arch' section - add --detach option in the systemd service - run scons without options/variables to compile Could you update the pkgbuild? Thanks :)

Doesn't build with the new gcc.

@UglyBob: please report those issues to the upstream github issue tracker with all your details provided. This are upstream issues that we don't really can fix. https://github.com/xboxdrv/xboxdrv

I have a strange issue with this driver using a wireless MS dongle and 4 wireless xbox 360 controllers. The player leds get lit up in the order I start them (1, 2, 3, 4), but when using them in retroarch (with udev driver), the device indexes are all wrong like this: Led 1: device 3 Led 2: device 0 Led 3: device 1 Led 4: device 2 Every time... I'm thinking somewhere there is a subtraction by one that shouldn't be there. The indexes was probably 0-3 without it and with it the first one wraps to 3, the rest 0, 1, 2. I don't know, but only way it makes sense...

I'm using this driver with retroarch and it works perfectly. I would also like to use it in Kodi, but it doesn't seem to work. Kodi detects them though it seems: 18:37:14 T:140013475649600 NOTICE: Enabled Joystick: Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver) #2 18:37:14 T:140013475649600 NOTICE: Details: Total Axis: 6 Total Hats: 1 Total Buttons: 11 18:37:14 T:140013475649600 NOTICE: Enabled Joystick: Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver) 18:37:14 T:140013475649600 NOTICE: Details: Total Axis: 6 Total Hats: 1 Total Buttons: 11 But nothing happens if I press anything...

Does scons honor MAKEFLAGS? This seems to take forever to compile even on my better machines with -j3 set.
