Unseen Sega controller

Yurii

I tried to connect sega 16-bit controller using an adapter from DB9 to USB. All Usb ports are working because it see keyboard in any port.But retropie don't see controller in any ports . Controller and Adapter are new. I have bought them 2 days ago and they worked when i checked them in market. I use Raspberry pi 1 B+.

Does it work on a PC - is the gamepad detected and functioning ? Try using jstest from the command line and see if the controller works

jstest /dev/input/js0

Press buttons on the controller and see if the screen updates, then press Ctrl + C to interrupt the test.

Do you see the device under 'devices and printers' as a gamepad ?

This command should be executed on a Pi, from a command line after you exited EmulationStation. On Windows, it doesn't work.

@mitu No. He don't see as gamepad. I wrote command on Raspberry an it wrote that "No such file or directory"

OK, then it means that /dev/input/js0 does not exist, so the system doesn't see it the USB connection as a gamepad/joystick.

@mitu I need to install some drivers on Raspberry pi? Because in market gamepad worked

mitu

I don't think so, on Linux you'll rarely need to do that, almost all drivers are included.

Because in market it worked

It worked with the PI or another PC ?

@mitu In Market gamepad was connected to original Sega. I sad that i need to connect gamepad to PC. And he gave me an adapter from DB9 to USB . He connected Gamepad to adapter to PC and it worked. But my PC can't see it as gamepad. It see that some device connected , but don't understand what is a devise. I need driver to adapter?

Maybe, but I'm not aware of any driver included with Linux for an DB9 to USB adapter. Ask the seller why your gamepad doesn't work on Windows and if the adapter works with Linux.
