How to get Atari Fightstick working on Mint 19.3
-
Hi folks , I have a Dell Precision T3600 tower running Mint 19.3 . I just recently purchased the new Atari Fight Stick with trackball (its almost like the X-Arcade controller with trackball). I recently just downloaded Retropie to mainly play Mame games ( I had Mame on my Windows machine many years ago using keyboard for controller) The fight stick uses a xm-10 USB controller . I'm very new to the Retropie world , when I start it up, it doesn't recognise any controllers when I have fight stick connected. Will appreciate all help and advise to get this working.

@CH their product page on amazon says to go to https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Xin-Mo-Controller/ for retropie configuration. basically it seems you need to add
usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
to your kernel parameters, i don't know the specifics for linux mint but i'm sure google will tell you how to do that.
