ScummVM Controlller Issues

escc1986

good that we got rid of it now .... we shall start fresh and clean

(i think i meddled with this xboxdrv months ago ... how would i know or delete any controllers from the past )

escc1986

thanks for pointing your's out and then mine

i know i may have a more simple controls ... but i still dont really understand & confused what im missing ... but hope you can clear that up

--evdev is the code the controller sends out
--ui is what we want the controller to do.

so exampler from mine
i had the a key mapped as the left mouse button

--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a

--ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT

im going to do my best

@ExarKunIv

that makes sense to me , thank you

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

the buttons are the easy part. the dpad is tricky for me.
so i think work on getting the other buttons mapped. as i do some playing on my end

escc1986

@ExarKunIv

sorry to be a headach ...

i guess the thing that confuses me the most is the steps

like there is alot of steps unless it can be simplfyed somehow

yes the d pad is what confuese me alot too

escc1986

im going to try to start over ...

im going to discconect my keyboard and mouse and see if anything changes

escc1986

ok after typing (With Disconnected keyboard and mouse )

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

my event changed to 0

event0

ExarKunIv

@escc1986 yes thats right.
the event will change as things are plugged in and out

so is you dont play to have a keyboard in there full time best to set if for event 0

escc1986

thank you for informing me , i had no idea ....

ok can you clear this up with me

which setting do i use out of these 3 settings :

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv
--evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•]
--silent
--detach-kernel-driver
--force-feedback

just dont know which template to follow that is correct for my nes controller

that i will need to make a nano for

nano /etc/rc.local

ExarKunIv

@escc1986
i say go for the last one
you can always cut stuff out

and stay out of rc.local

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

you will be doing your work in the runcommand.onstart

escc1986

kind of confused .... so i

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

(This template)

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv
--evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•]
--silent
--detach-kernel-driver
--force-feedback
--deadzone-trigger 15%
--deadzone 4000
--mimic-xpad
--evdev-absmap ABS_[•]=dpad_x,ABS_[•]=dpad_y
--evdev-keymap BTN_[•]=a,BTN_[•]=b,BTN_[•]=x,BTN_[•]=y,BTN_[•]=lb,BTN_[•]=rb,BTN_[•]=back,BTN_[•]=start
--dpad-only
--ui-axismap lt=void,rt=void
--ui-buttonmap tl=void,tr=void,guide=void
&

@escc1986

close
you need this on the top or it will not know when to start the mapping

if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
then
sudo killall >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 \
    --evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Universal-Controller-Calibration-&-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/

go to the

Key-Mapping For Individual Emulators part to get a start on how the runcommand needs to look like

but for now i think you should just put your mapping in a txt on your computer.

there are ways to test it before you setup the run command

escc1986

not sure what to put here

--evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•] \

(the dot)

ExarKunIv

@escc1986
just use the event and the number so for you it will be event0
i could never get the id-to work

think you could send me a link or something for your controller.
when you posted the event codes there are alot more buttons then i would of thought for a NES

escc1986

--evdev /dev/input/by-id/event0 \

like so ?
