ScummVM Controlller Issues

@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 · 11 Feb 2020, 20:50

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

@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

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 · 2 Nov 2020, 21:53

@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 · 11 Feb 2020, 22:04

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

i just replace with my numbers

example: Key_#304=a

ExarKunIv · 2 Nov 2020, 22:13

@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 · 11 Feb 2020, 22:31

this method didnt work for me

it was the same like before

dpad didnt work

L = space

R= f2

escc1986 · 11 Feb 2020, 22:35

let me try the other way you suggeted

escc1986 · 2 Nov 2020, 22:52

unfortunately

same as before

dpad didnt work

L = space

R= f2

Anything Else we could try

this is my +Start ScummVM.sh

i tried this method many times , no luck

i hope im doing it right

ExarKunIv · 11 Feb 2020, 23:47

@escc1986
you put scumm.cfg in the xdrive folder
and you +Start ScummVM.sh looks good leave it

Remove everything that you don,t have a key assigned to for both the keymap and buttonmap

i will try you config tomroow when im at work, thats where my system is at. and ill let you know what i find out

[evdev-keymap]
KEY_#304=a
KEY_#305=b
KEY_#307=x
KEY_#308=y

escc1986 · 12 Feb 2020, 00:26

alright , no problem

still hasnt worked for me

thank you for trying to help me

i'll talk to you tommrow

ExarKunIv · 2 Dec 2020, 15:59

@escc1986

all i did was remove the empty buttons
this is what i ended up with

this is the scumm.cfg. that is in the config/all/xdrive folder

[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]
KEY_#304=a
KEY_#305=b
KEY_#307=x
KEY_#308=y
KEY_#312=back
KEY_#313=start
KEY_#310=tl
KEY_#311=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=BTN_RIGHT
x=KEY_ENTER
back=KEY_F5
start=KEY_ESC

# EOF #

and it works for me.

so as long as you have your +Start ScummVM.sh looking like this that is in the roms/scummvm folder

 #!/bin/bash
 
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 &
 
game="$1"
pushd "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm" >/dev/null
/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --fullscreen --joystick=0 --extrapath="/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/extra" $game
while read id desc; do
    echo "$desc" > "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/$id.svm"
done < <(/opt/retropie/emulators/scummvm/bin/scummvm --list-targets | tail -n +3)
popd >/dev/null

and the button maps named as scumm.cfg and saved in configs/all//xdrive

everything should work fine. other then that i dont know.

when you start a game run
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
you should have your controller and then a new one called Microsoft X-Box 360 pad then you know the file is starting.
if not then it is not seeing something.

we'll go from there

escc1986 · 2 Dec 2020, 15:44

Hi , Good Morning

so i revised the changes ...

changed everything how it should be

i reboot

now i enter the game in scumm and it doesnt run

it doesnt start , any idea ?

(wait i belive i made a mistake , when you mentioned the scumm.sh file , where is that file located ?)

ExarKunIv · 12 Feb 2020, 15:49

@escc1986

it should be in the config/all/xdrive folder.

(now you can have it where ever you want in the all folder. you will just have to tell the start-scumm.sh where to look

	--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

	#!/bin/bash

	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 &
