pretty easy to get controllers working
just follow this guide
dunno if you already solved it or not
Hi there,
I need a little help, I guess⊠Little bit of a noob here, so please be patient with me. I tried to install RetroPie right after a fresh install of OSMC RC3.
Install just said that Samba could not be installed, which I did not worry about much, here the part of the setup log concerning samba

Did not find needed package(s): samba samba-common-bin. I am trying to install them now.

Could not install package(s): samba
samba-common-bin.
After the setup of RetroPie I wanted to pair a PS3 Controller, that failed because of some usb-Stuff, but I canât find a log, maybe somebody knows where to look? I think it was libusb-1.0.0 missing or something like that.
After I exited I was asked to create the Shortcut I said yes, but now I canât find a shortcut in the OSMC Skin.
So right now I donât know what to do next? I am stranded without anything, I think. Should I run the INSTALL_RETROPIE_ON_OSMC_RC.sh again? Or any other Script?
I am thankful for any hintâŠ
You can try to run the script again and just select cancel at the retropie setup script.
When the shortcut is not created, something went wrong in the second part.
Hope that this potential breakage sam talked about doesnât kick in with new installations.
Ok, ran the script a second time, no errors. Hit cancel on the setup script. Was asked to create the shortcut, said yes. Script said that the shortcut was already thereâŠ
I didnât find it again, so I tried the âPluginâ from @Dalton63841 that worked.
Now I was in emulation station, tried the retropie-setup-script from there, still couldnât install the ps3 controller things.
I canât see the wohl screen itâs cut of on the edges and I couldnât find a setting to fix this, but the error says
fatal error: libusb-1.0/libusb.h: so such file or directory
After that I can only read âlation terminated.â (I assume compilation terminated). Then a lot more stuff, complaining about bluetooth and back into the menu of the setup script.
Iâm still having this problem with RC3. Any suggestions?
the source-based installation will not work?
Not with this configuration as i remove all the dev packages from the script to make it less to download and less confusing for the system.
Not right now, sorry.
Try
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
or something. You need the development files for libusb.
Thanks. Iâm also having the same problem with RC 1 and 2 (see post #275). I follow the instructions and I really canât see what is going wrong. No problems if you donât know Iâll wait and see what comes about from your recent exchanges with the OSMC team.
Cheers
thanks for your work man!
There is no error when starting emulationstation from ssh?
It spits the following out so I guess something may have gone wrong in the install? I tried running the script again and it didnât fix it.
osmc@osmc:~$ emulationstation
/usr/bin/emulationstation: line 16: /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation: No such file or directory
Thanks for the reply.
Hmmm.
Are you connected to the internet?
What version is the script you are using? (Open the file to see the version number)
Did you select cancel in the retropie setup screen?
Please also run the binaries installation again as it seems like the emulationstation executable was not installed.
Must have been user error because I went through the script again (twice) and it seems to have worked. Thanks for replies and good luck with the rest of this great project.
Cheers
I have had some minior problems with the script install:
-
I was unable to edit skin items on default OSMC skin (ie hide menu items as Back/OK was not an option open to me). I had thought it was an OSMC issue but it works fine without RetroPie in place Customize Main Menu readability - #7 by Methanoid
-
I had a strange message about missing PVR clients when I installed RetroPie (only) No PVR clients have been started - #2 by DBMandrake
I still love it though 
im working on an addition to this script where before launching retropie it checks for wiimotes for those that use that gonna release it soon once im done with the installer
Nice, you can include a userquery of the end of the installscript if it should be executed on launch or not.
It should be started in the emulationstation script as soon as a variable is set or a certain file exists.
trying it out now seems to do just fine it only launches if wiimotes are successfully added just need to make some free sounds cant use the MS sounds im using now since im sure that probably violates some term
@mcobit wouldnt happen to have a gitlab account by any chance ?

there it is put in blank sound so anyone that wants to test this just add their own sounds in the ogg format
