Using xboxdrv with mame4all/advmame

@mediamogul I had changed the > /dev/null to >>/dev/shm/runcommand.log already, but I added the 2>&1 just now. There's no change. xboxdrv is creating the virtual device like it's supposed to, and AdvanceMAME is not seeing any of its output--no stick, no mouse events, no keyboard events.

[edit] And yes, xboxdrv does work in other emulators--or at least in the Atari 800 emulator(the non-RetroArch one). mame4all and advmame, not so much.

@lummox-jr

I have to admit, I'm almost at a loss. I know that AdvanceMAME will only use devices it discovers at launch, so perhaps the xboxdrv keyboard is being created slightly afterward for some reason. Try changing:

advmame = "/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin/advmame %BASENAME%"

to

advmame = "sleep 2; /opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/bin/advmame %BASENAME%"

in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/emulators.cfg and see if that makes any difference.

@mediamogul I added sleep 2 right in runcommand-onstart.sh after the xboxdrv command, and no such luck. Both mame4all and advmame are completely oblivious to any keyboard/mouse/stick output from xboxdrv.

The sad part is I can get this semi-working without xboxdrv, but the analog control snaps back and although the D-pad works now with the mapping I did, it's still hard to control via the D-pad. Besides, I still would like the option of using xboxdrv for other configuration issues down the road.

[spud11]

@mediamogul My advancemame.rc settings are almost the same as your's, but I include mouse3 settings as well.

While trawling through that file, I did see these settings which are set to auto: input_map[p1_mousex] auto and input_map[p1_mousey] auto.

I haven't changed these at all because everything is working on my system, but perhaps @Lummox-JR could change these to:

input_map[p1_mousex] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]
input_map[p1_mousey] mouse[0,y] mouse[1,y] mouse[2,y] mouse[3,y]

And see if that has any effect.

[spud11]

@lummox-jr Although I'm not using mame4all, I am using lr-mame2000 which uses the same mame romset so I'd assume that core would work with Star Wars.

I also use xboxdrv for my libretro/retroarch cores and, on my system, xboxdrv works fine with lr-mame2000, albeit I'm not mimicking a mouse with it.

[Lummox JR]

@spud11 I tried changing to lr-mame2000 but the same problem happens there. xboxdrv doesn't work, and also Star Wars doesn't function properly at all in lr-mame2000. There are major glitches with the game there. (The rom loads in lr-mame2003, but then nothing functions whatsoever, even the keyboard, and I have to reboot.)

I didn't try the mouse[3,x] and mouse[3,y] change, but at this point I don't see any value in trying that as the underlying problem definitely goes well beyond mouse input. Absolutely nothing from xboxdrv's mapping comes through in mame4all or advmame (or, when I tested, lr-mame2000 either which was super weird), whether it's keyboard, stick, or mouse.

Just to be safe I did try adding --no-extra-events to the xboxdrv command, but no luck there.

[mediamogul]

@lummox-jr

Have you tried loading the map and then running evtest from the command line on the mouse and keyboard events created by xboxdrv? If they're not registering there, that'll at least explain why mame4all and AdvanceMAME aren't finding them.

[Lummox JR]

@mediamogul Yes, I've already tried evtest. The mapping works, but the mame4all and advmame emulators are not seeing it.

[mediamogul]

@lummox-jr

That would seem to isolate the problem to a configuration issue in the advancemame.rc file and the mame4all preferences. Why don't you post both and perhaps something will jump out.

[Lummox JR]

@mediamogul I can't post the whole files because I have no way of doing so. I can't access the Pi via SCP/SFTP, so I'm limited to typing in what I see on the screen.

What I can tell you for sure is this is a vanilla config. The only relevant info I see in the mame4all mame.cfg file is this:

#Joystick controls for frontend only
#Defaults to XBOX60 controller
J_START=7
J_SELECT=6
J_A=0
AXIS_LR=0
AXIS_UD=1

And my advmame.rc file has:

device_joystick auto
device_keyboard raw
device_mouse auto

I have an update however. My evtest runs did not check the buttons, only the analog to mouse output. When I tried testing the buttons again--I think I was confused because I had tested them for the Atari 800--I discovered they weren't set up right at all for my cheapo controller. So I made the right changes for this controller and the keyboard mapping does work now.

I tried to add the mouse[3,x] and mouse[3,y] stuff to advmame.rc along with the earlier mouse changes, but so far no luck with the mouse output.

[Lummox JR]

@mediamogul Adding to my previous message, I've tried setting this in advmame.rc:

device_raw_mousedev[0] /dev/input/js1

...since that's one of the devices setup by xboxdrv. (The other is /dev/input/event3 but I don't think going by number is safe if I have more controllers plugged in.) No response. I also tried setting device_mouse to auto, raw, event, and sdl but no luck with any of those so I've gone back to auto. device_raw_mousetype[0] is set to the default pnp.

I found some more info here which tells me I need to use the advm utility in advmame's bin files. I tried that, and it tells me there are no mice found under event or raw.

What I'm wondering is if the REL_X and REL_Y mappings don't work if no mouse is attached to the system. That would honestly explain a lot. But I would expect xboxdrv to have a way of dealing with that, maybe some option I'm overlooking. I did try the --mouse option just in case, and I am not currently using --no-extra-devices so that shouldn't be in the way.

Nice. That only leaves the mouse.

xboxdrv creates its own mouse event, independent of any hardware mice that may or may not be attached. I believe we've narrowed the problem down to being emulator configuration in some way, but without being able to see a whole config file, I'm afraid its just a guessing game.

I've shared the portions that are relevant already, and adopted the input-map items suggested above (including mouse[3,x] and mouse[3,y]), but I can type up a quick summary of that sometime tomorrow just to show where it's at. There isn't a lot in the config related to mouse input: just device_mouse, device_raw_mousedev, and device_raw_mousetype and any input mappings. At least as far as I know, anyway.

Maybe a better and more expedient question, though, is whether anyone has gotten mouse events from xboxdrv to work in advmame. Because if nobody has, maybe it's just not doable. But if someone has, maybe they could post their advmame.rc file and it'd be possible to compare.

I use the xboxdrv mouse abilities with advmame quite often. It's usually pretty easy to get going, as there's hardly any setup past what we've already tried. If we rule out the emulator config files, the only suggestion I really have left is that it might be related to your controller in some way.

[spud11]

@lummox-jr I'm not using the mouse in advmame, but I am in several other emulators.

I'm just wondering whether you have any other input/joysticks attached or just your 1 Shanwan joystick.

[Lummox JR]

@spud11 At the moment no. My system came with two simple retropads that I was setting up first, but I switched to this other one (it's basically just a generic that's laid out like a PS controller) to try setting up analog options. I have others like it I eventually intend to try. The only two peripherals I currently have attached are that and a keyboard; the keyboard is in the first USB slot.

@mediamogul Is there any chance you can show me what your own advmame.rc looks like, and the xboxdrv command you're using to set up the driver? Maybe something will jump out at me. In the meantime here's this:

device_joystick auto
device_keyboard raw
device_mouse auto
device_raw_firstkeyhack no
device_raw_mousedev[0] auto
device_raw_mousedev[1] auto
device_raw_mousedev[2] auto
device_raw_mousedev[3] auto
device_raw_mousetype[0] pnp
device_raw_mousetype[1] pnp
device_raw_mousetype[2] pnp

input_map[p1_lightgunx] auto
input_map[p1_lightguny] auto
input_map[p1_mousex] auto
input_map[p1_mousey] auto
input_map[p1_paddlex] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]
input_map[p1_paddley] mouse[0,y] mouse[1,y] mouse[2,y] mouse[3,y]
input_map[p1_pedalbrake] auto
input_map[p1_pedalgas] mouse[0,y] mouse[1,y] mouse[2,y] mouse[3,y]
input_map[p1_pedalother] auto
input_map[p1_stickx] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]
input_map[p1_sticky] mouse[0,y] mouse[1,y] mouse[2,y] mouse[3,y]
input_map[p1_stickz] auto
input_map[p1_trackballx] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]
input_map[p1_trackbally] mouse[0,y] mouse[1,y] mouse[2,y] mouse[3,y]

And this is my current xboxdrv command:

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >>/dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 \
	--evdev /dev/input/by-id/usb-ShanWan_ZD_Game_For_Windows-event-joystick \

	--evdev-absmap ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y,ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2 \
	--evdev-keymap BTN_EAST=b,BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_NORTH=y,BTN_WEST=x,BTN_START=start,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_TL2=lt,BTN_TR2=rt,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr \
	--dpad-as-button \
	--trigger-as-button \
	--ui-buttonmap guide=void \
	--ui-axismap x1=REL_X:10,y1=REL_Y:10,x2=void,y2=void \
	--ui-buttonmap back=KEY_5,start=KEY_1,a=KEY_LEFTCTRL,b=KEY_LEFTSHIFT,back+start=KEY_ESC,tl=KEY_ENTER,back+x=KEY_TAB,back+y=KEY_P,du=KEY_UP,dd=KEY_DOWN,dl=KEY_LEFT,dr=KEY_RIGHT \
	&

The keyboard mappings are working very nicely now that I've finally got this controller done right.

BTW, I did try switching the USB slots just to see, but it made no difference.

@lummox-jr

It should be noted that my map uses a toggle so that the left thumbstick is key-mapped to behave like the DPad until it's depressed, at which time it gains mouse functionality.

[Lummox JR]

@mediamogul I noticed there are some settings in your advancemame.rc that don't appear in mine at all. E.g. the dial directions (down, left, right, up) and doubleleft, doubleright. The pedal options have "release" versions that don't appear in my file either. Is it possible we're using different advancemame versions? I'm using AdvanceMAME 3.

I can't see any difference between us as far as the device section. And do you have no mouse (normally) in use, like me? If you run the advm command does it say no mice were found? I'm curious if maybe that's the difference, that it's seeing a device on your system that isn't on mine.

My xboxdrv command has no --device-name option but I assume that's not important. Otherwise it looks pretty similar, except that I haven't mapped the analog sticks to keys. (I could, but I'm hoping I can attain finer control via the mouse.)
