Wrong button on Amiga emulator
-
@chris3535 way too complicated ;)
I dont have a PC at all since 2007, so i only use the pi itself or my smartphone via local network.What i used for the amiberry input-mapping was only the Pi itself - in fact i used the "Midnight Commander" (just go to the terminal by pressing "F4" in ES and type "mc")
It is a great tool similar to the good old "Norton Commander" (MS-DOS) with the ability to sort and modify files directly with the Pi.After opening the MC i created a new folder "AMIBERRY Inputs" in "/home/pi/" and copied the original configuration-file in there.
After that i used the "sudo nano"-command and remapped the buttons within this configuration. (i.e. "Button 0=B", "Button 1=A". btw: the orginal Amigas had only support for one button; the second is a feature by AMIBERRY).
Just saved that new config by pressing "CMD" + "X" and confirmed overwriting of the file with "Y".Last step was to open the Amiberry GUI and rescan the paths as described above.
Worked like a charm and still does :)

@sirhenrythe5th ok..lol think i am getting there..just one little thing that confuses me.
When you say you used the "sudo nano" command what do you mean?
-
@sirhenrythe5th ahh do you mean open terminal and type in sudo nano followed by the path where the file is?
So in your example you typed:
sudo nano /home/pi/amiberry inputs/
is this correct?
-
@chris3535 this is the command used to open and modify a file within Raspbian/Linux.
What you can do to make it a bit easier:
open MC -> navigate to the file you want to modify -> press "F2" to open the on screen menu -> navigate to "do something with the file" -> and type "sudo nano" ;) -
@sirhenrythe5th Brilliant, thank you so much for your help and patience !
I will do this tonight but i have my head round it now thanks to your instructions !!
-
@chris3535 you are welcome Chris!
I was also very annoyed by the default button mapping and was glad to find this way to get it sorted.
Feel free to ask again if you get stuck ;) -
@sirhenrythe5th Thank you i will!
i have another kinda issue but ill open a new thread for that later if i cant sort it.
Basically some games (wings for example) seems to map itself to the mouse (i have a pi400) and i have not been able to make it work with the joystick yet. I had a quick play with the settings last night and i assume its something to do with the controls section in amiberry but couldn't get it to work, however i didn't spend that much time and will mess about tonight before bothering anyone on here .
Thanks again !!

@sirhenrythe5th Sorry to bother you again, so I have made a amiberry folder and copied the config file over into it.
I am in the config file now and I see the following
Input_start_btn = "1"
Input_exit_emulator_btn = "1"
input_b_btn = "0"
input_reset_btn = "0"
input_a_btn = "3"which one do I change? and to what?
-
@chris3535
The Fire-Buttons are "input_b_btn="0"" & "input_a_btn="3"".
These two have to be changed to fit with your button layout (i use 8BitDOs, so my layout wont help you).
Try & Error will help too :), just try the button numbers until it is as you like. -
@sirhenrythe5th ahh my apologies mate I thought you had same joystick as me.. I'll have a fiddle with it tonight
-
@sirhenrythe5th worked like a charm thank you :-)
