@escc1986

ok so the problem now is getting the game and the script we just made to work together.

escc1986

humm interesting , i wonder why they dont work together

ExarKunIv

@escc1986
they do
you just need everything on the same page.

IE
correct drivers turned on, correct names ETC....

i use a different method now so i have not messed with it this way in a long time
and you have a bunch of little things you did, which is not wrong but not needed. so they might be giving a problem.

give me a bit i want to try something on my system

escc1986

sure , take as much time needed :) ... hope you could figure something out

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

so the way i do things now is i have a command that gets ran when i pick a certain game, unlike the way we where just playing with. that way is always running in the back ground in a way waiting for a game that needs is to start and away it goes.

so im hoping that i can get my way to work and we can go from there, cuz i think even with what ever settings or naming that has been done it will not matter.

plus if you get to any other games that need something custom like the games in PORTS. it is very easy to copy and past from one to the other

escc1986

Fascinating ... i hope you way , will be the way to go :)

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

ok here goes, from what i was able to test it does work on my system and it does over ride whatever preconfiged controls

in the rom/scummvm folder open the +start scummvm.sh and add this line under the #!/bin/bash but before anything else

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log 2>&1 --evdev /dev/input/event0 --config /opt/retropie/configs/all//xdrive/scumm.cfg &

dont forget to change the event number to match yours

now in the config folder go to the all folder and make a new folder named xdrive

in there make a new file called scumm.cfg
in there paste this

[xboxdrv]
silent=true
deadzone=4000
deadzone-trigger=15%
dpad-as-button=false
trigger-as-button=true
detach-kernel-driver=true
#force-feedback=true
mimic-xpad=true

[evdev-absmap]
ABS_X=x1
ABS_Y=y1
ABS_Z=x2
ABS_RZ=y2
ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x
ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y

[evdev-keymap]
BTN_SOUTH=a
BTN_EAST=b
BTN_NORTH=x
BTN_WEST=y
BTN_TL=lb
BTN_TL2=lt
BTN_TR=rb
BTN_TR2=rt
BTN_SELECT=back
BTN_START=start
BTN_THUMBL=tl
BTN_THUMBR=tr

[ui-axismap]
x1=KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT
y1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP
dpad_x=REL_X:10
dpad_y=REL_Y:10

[ui-buttonmap]
a=BTN_LEFT
b=KEY_LEFTCTRL
x=KEY_ENTER
y=KEY_R
lb=KEY_C
lt=KEY_A
rb=KEY_SPACE
rt=KEY_D
back=KEY_F5
start=KEY_ESC
tr=KEY_K
tl=KEY_Y

# EOF #

now of corse you need to change the buttons to mactch your controller.
these are from my setup

there will be some fine tuning that you will need to do, but this i hope should get you to work.

Question :

How do you create a new folder "xdrive" in command ?

I made a mistake and

Sudo nano xdrive ( sudo nano means txt from what I found out )

How do you create a new folder ?

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

mkdir /opt/retropie/configs/all/xdrive

to make the config file
then sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/xdrive/scumm.cfg

i just network into mine from the computer and use explorer to do most of everything
so i just right click for everything, lol

i dont understand ... how to change it to mine , can you help me

ExarKunIv

@escc1986
that part you dont have too. i tested it with my dpad since they where call the same as yours

escc1986

BTN_SOUTH=a
BTN_EAST=b
BTN_NORTH=x
BTN_WEST=y
BTN_TL=lb
BTN_TL2=lt
BTN_TR=rb
BTN_TR2=rt
BTN_SELECT=back
BTN_START=start
BTN_THUMBL=tl
BTN_THUMBR=tr

&

--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a,KEY_#305=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#310=tl,KEY_#311=tr,KEY_#312=select,KEY_#313=start

i just replace with my numbers

example: Key_#304=a

ExarKunIv

@escc1986

that should work,

if not

this is what the buttons are called when you press then vs what you are pressing.
example you dont want this
BTN_START=start. you want this BTN_TR2=start

[evdev-keymap]
BTN_SOUTH=a
BTN_EAST=b
BTN_NORTH=x
BTN_WEST=y
BTN_TL=lb
BTN_TL2=lt
BTN_TR=rb
BTN_TR2=rt
BTN_SELECT=back
BTN_START=start
BTN_THUMBL=tl
BTN_THUMBR=tr

and

this is what you want the buttons to do

[ui-buttonmap]
a=BTN_LEFT
b=KEY_LEFTCTRL
x=KEY_ENTER
y=KEY_R
lb=KEY_C
lt=KEY_A
rb=KEY_SPACE
rt=KEY_D
back=KEY_F5
start=KEY_ESC
tr=KEY_K
tl=KEY_Y

now i have a bunch of things you dont need so just delete them as you go.

How does it look by you ?

if this looks ok ....

where do i put this config in the scumm.config

then what would i need to do

reboot and try game , right ?

escc1986

this method didnt work for me

it was the same like before

dpad didnt work

L = space

R= f2

escc1986

let me try the other way you suggeted

escc1986

unfortunately

same as before

dpad didnt work

L = space

R= f2

Anything Else we could try
