I wanna use the RPi as an emulation machine, thanks to RetroPie this is not a big problem. To control everything I want to connect multiple Xbox 360 wireless gamepads. This is possible by using xboxdrv.
It's easy to establish a connection via sudo xboxdrv -s -wid x
. The problem now is the performance. The system is receiving any pushed buttons very slowly and sometimes won't recognize if the button is still pressed.
It gets worse if I try to connect more than 1 controller. The emulator seems also to be slowed down.
I've overclocked the RPi to 1000MHz for testing purposes, but that did not change anything.
I guess that it must work with at least 1 gamepad anyhow, since there are different articles online showing how to connect such a controller (all of them do not really help with my problem unfortunately)
