Quake 2 Yamagi Port - 8BitDo -sticks not working.

[MrBitey]

Hi all, relative Pi noob here, still learning!

I'd love to get Quake 2 fully working on my Pi 3b+ pn RetroPie 4.7.1.
Quake 1, Doom, Duke 3d etc all work fine with both the joysticks on my 8BitDo controller but Quake 2 doesn't. I can use the D pad to move but its no good for fine movements. I can also set all the rest of the buttons using the menu in the game. Just nothing at all when I try to use the joysticks. Here is some log info which might help?
"To use joystick as game controller please set SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG:
e.g. SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG='05000000c82d00000261000000010000,8BitDo SN30Pro+,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightx:a2,righty:a3,back:b1,..."

Is there something I can do in the config section or a config file I can add this info into?

You can set the SDL config for the game controller in the autostart.sh script, before emulationstation is started:

export SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG="05000000c82d00000261000000010000,8BitDo SN30 Pro+,a:b0,b:b1,back:b10,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.1,guide:b2,leftshoulder:b6,leftstick:b13,lefttrigger:b8,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b7,rightstick:b14,righttrigger:b9,rightx:a2,righty:a3,start:b11,x:b3,y:b4,hint:SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS:=1,"

emulationstation #auto

You can find autostart.sh at /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh (or via file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\autostart.sh.
