Using a Pedal with Retropie (Hori Apex Racing Wheel)

[matp]

Hiya, I've been trying to set up a Hori Apex Racing Wheel and Pedal with retropie.

The wheel sets up fine, but i don't seem able to set the pedals as anything other that buttons and not as an axis. Has anyone got any experience with this please? I've tried a few wheels this week and the pedal setup seems to be the issue.

This is a PS3/PS4/PC wheel but shows up in retropie as a generic xbox pad. I'm guessing this is either a driver issue or just not supported?

cheers!

In /etc/modprobe.d/xpad.conf, try changing:

options xpad triggers_to_buttons=1

...to:

options xpad triggers_to_buttons=0

I'm not sure why this is even set like that in the first place, but one consequence it has is that arcade racing games which use the triggers as the brake and throttle lose all speed control. Treating it like a digital button means it's either all the way on, or all the way off. You can't "feather the brakes" or give it "just a little bit of gas." Changing this to 0 (and then probably a reboot, I forget) gave me back my fine analog control in these games. Might work for your pedal, too.
