Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
  /dev/input/js3
  /dev/input/event7

Press Ctrl-C to quit

It means that your device will act like a xbox/xbox360 controller.

7- Enjoy, if have success you will don't need to deal with mapping programs.

Problems

1- My controller is not regognized:

Open the script on editor and change the line:

input='js0'

to

input='js1'

2- I need to connect two controllers.

Create a copy of the script, open on editor and change the line:

input='js0'

to

input='js1'

Then execute on second terminal.

2- I would like to find my self my joystick or what this script is doing?

Execute

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

You must see something like:

I: Bus=0005 Vendor=1949 Product=0402 Version=011b
N: Name="CON-7197"
P: Phys=00:1a:7d:da:71:13
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.3/0000:01:00.0/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:70/0005:1949:0402.0010/input/input68
U: Uniq=ff:2c:47:ff:63:25
H: Handlers=event25 js0 
B: PROP=0
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=7fff000000000000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=30627
B: MSC=10

As you can see the name of joystick is CON-7197and Handlers is event25 js0

So the command on xboxdrv will be:

xboxdrv --evdev /dev/input/event25 \
    --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
    --axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
    --evdev-keymap BTN_START=start,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_A=a,BTN_B=b,BTN_X=x,BTN_Y=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_TL2=lt,BTN_TR2=rt,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr \
    --mimic-xpad --silent --force-feedback

Of course you will need map the correct buttons on the lines:

--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
    --axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
    --evdev-keymap BTN_START=start,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_A=a,BTN_B=b,BTN_X=x,BTN_Y=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_TL2=lt,BTN_TR2=rt,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr
