I finally got RetroPie up and running on Xbian. Lots of little issue's along the way (getting sound working was one). Now I would like to control XBMC via my PS3 controller, which is already working in Xbian over usb. I tried creating a keymap.xml is ".xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml" but it still it not working. Controller works fine in emulationstation/retroarch. i got the ps3 config from the xbmc wiki.
I got the name of my generic PS3 controller using the following command.
Which gave me the name and following info.
I edited in the name of my controller but it still it not working. Here is a snippet of the edit to keymap.xml
What do I need to do to get this PS3 controller working in XBMC?
Off topic quetion. I stopped XBMC from starting on boot, but how do I set emulationstation to start on boot?
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<joystick name="PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (00:06:F7:66:24:76)">
<button id="1">Info</button> <!-- Select -->
<button id="2">ContextMenu</button> <!-- L3 -->
