XBOX360 pad (xboxdrv) only Dpad works when used as Player 2

[Pyjamarama]

Hi!

I have put my XBOX 360 pad (using the xboxdrv) to have the left stick as dpad.

I have an arcade controller (with zero delay and the hex edit thingy) as well.

When I have both connected, my 360 pad stops to operate the left stick and I can only use the dpad

I tested it in FBA, MAME2003

Any clues?

Thank you!

@Pyjamarama
It seems that you configured your xbox pad .cfg file using *_player1* explicitly. Can you paste your /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/YOUR_XBOX_CONFIG_FILE.cfg? (maybe in pastebin.com if it's to big)

I have 3 configs there. One for my zero delay stick and there are 2 for the 360. I am using xboxdrv but I do not know which is which

MicrosoftX-Box360pad.cfg

input_device = "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad"

@Pyjamarama I don't know the xboxdrv details, sorry. But it seems that the xboxdrv config file is the XBoxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg and the "pure" XBox 360 gamepad config file is the MicrosoftX-Box360pad.cfg.

It seems that when the controller is plugged alone, it uses the xboxdrv file and when it's plugged together with the zero delay it gets the "pure xbox" file. I think you can assure it looking for those yellow text when RetroArch starts.

I noticed that some mappings are missing in MicrosoftX-Box360pad.cfg: L, R and L2.

Thank you for your reply!

Silly question: If I delete the MicrosoftX-Box360pad.cfg, will it revert to xboxdrv pad profile when in 2p mode?

I'm not sure but I can't see any reason to make it happen.

If this question were in a school test I would venture to answer "no, it won't". :-)
I think you'll get that "joystick blablabla not configured" message.

You don't need to actually delete the file, just rename it to something like MicrosoftX-Box360pad.cfg-backup and make some tests. ;-)

[Pyjamarama]

I renamed the file.

I also went to RetroArch congifuration and put the digital->Left analog to P2 and P3 (silly me!!)

It worked like a dream.

Thanx @meleu
