How to configure Joysticks ?
-
(Sorry for my english I'm french)
Thanks for the replies, @rbaker the only one changed parameter when I move the joystick at all axes is the "1: -32767" in :
Axes: 0: 0 1: -32767 2: 0 3: 0 4: 0 5: 0 6: 0 Buttons: 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off 7:off 8:off 9:off 10:off 11:off
And all the buttons works correctly.I finded another problem :
When I press one button for several seconds (to skip one control configuration in the configuration menu), that doesn't work and I can't skip it.
For example I don't want to configure "D-PAD UP", so I press one button for several seconds, but that don't skip this configuration.What can I do please ?

Since the
A
orStart
buttons are configured first, use one of those buttons to hold in order to skip. Make sure you de-press the button between 2 'skip' operations, you cannot press it continuously to skip several buttons in a row. -
@mitu But the button that is configured first is "D-PAD UP" so how to skip it ?
-
@tigry You're right, I forgot about the order in the configuration dialog.
-
@mitu Yes, I want to skip some configurations :
"D-PAD UP", "D-PAD DOWN", "D-PAD LEFT", "D-PAD RIGHT"But they are in this order :
"D-PAD UP", "D-PAD DOWN", "D-PAD LEFT", "D-PAD RIGHT", "START", "SELECT" ...So how can I skip them ?

Skipping is not possible for first button DPAD UP but you can delete the config later.
Why do you want no DPad config - sounds crazy 😅

Well, because the gamepad doesn't have a D-pad, only analog joysticks ?
-
@mitu makes sense .... But then manual edit seems the way to go. Assign button A as dpad up then skip rest of pads. Then later edit files manually and assign button A in config file
-
@mitu Exactly, I haven't D-Pad but only analog joysticks.
My joysticks and buttons are them : https://bit.ly/2R1qNerBut I don't understand what to do, can someone give me one configuration that I could do ?
Assign button A as dpad up, yes, but after that the same thing, I can't skip next pads... That doesn't work :/
Can I create the configuration manually ? Maybe that it would be easier ?
EDIT : Well, I find the solution, now the joysticks and buttons are configured, with the keyboard I can skip the pads !
But now it's in games that I can't move or somethings :/ -

The joysticks do indeed appear to use digital microswitches. There really shouldn't be a problem.

@Clyde @mediamogul Right, joysticks are configured on D-PAD, but I can't configure joysticks and buttons in Retroarch (to use them in game), when I go to :
Retroarch > Settings > Input > Input User 1 Binds > User 1 Bind AllWhen I push some buttons or move the joystick, that doesn't work :/
What I need to do please ?
PS : It's my mistake, I haven't analog joysticks, they have only 4 directions (UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT).
EDIT : Well, I find the solution ! After some manipulations, my joysticks and buttons works in games !
- I uninstalled & install again retroarch
- I configured again my joysticks and buttons
- I updated all the system

@Tigry Thanks for sharing your solution, glad you found it.
Just for completeness, I was going to suggest that you could use @meleu's joystick-selection tool to see if your sticks are configured as player 1 +2. If not, that could've been the reason why they didn't work in RetroArch.
