Scummvm controller help

i miss DOS also, was never that good at that either, but i knew enough to get around :)

That did the trick. Works great. The movement is a little jerky but that is probably caused by using a directional pad versus analog. When I built the unit it called for the analog joystick so me being an idiot I thought that meant it would be analog. I think this will work perfectly for the point and click games I am wanting to play though. I would like to build another supergame pi but make it analog on the next one. Maybe that can be my next challenge. Thanks again for all the help.

One last question. Is there away to adjust the movement of the joystick? By that I mean the amount the cursor moves when pushed once in a certain direction. I was unable to load a couple games from the menus because I couldn't get the cursor over the name to select it. If I pushed up or down it would go to far. Other than that it seams to be good.

I don't know off the top of my head but I'll take a look in to. I'm sure there is away to fine tune it better for you.

If it seems like the curser moves too fast then lower the number for the movement. Right now for you it is set for 25 and -25. Going lower will slow down how fast the pointer moves.

Thanks. I will also try lowering the speed.

Lowering the speed from 25 to 15 seemed to help with the issue. Thanks.

@dudleydes said in Scummvm controller help:

A year ago, ScummVM moved to version 1.9 which uses SDL2 as its backend. Users reported issues when using a joystick so the devs added the SDL1 version to RetroPie.

Found this thread because my controller doesn't work in ScummVM so I looked for a way to fix it. Going by this post, I removed the 'new' ScummVM and installed the SDL1 one but that one won't even start up for me, I just get thrown back into the main menu.

The new ScummVm (2.0) offers better support to gamepads and it basically works out-of-the-box. Try updating it (binary works).

@fabio78 Oh wow, updating it helped a bunch! Thanks! Controller definitely works now in the ScummVM menu so I'll go through the motions of adding my games to Pi then.
