Guide: Advanced Controller Mappings

ExarKunIv

So i have been messing around trying to get to work.
so far i have go a whole lot of nothing.

I have done what the advance guide said with a little tweeking for my controler

here is my controler info

I: Bus=0005 Vendor=3810 Product=0009 Version=0100
N: Name="8Bitdo FC30 Pro"
P: Phys=b8:27:eb:47:c7:78
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/soc/3f201000.uart/tty/ttyAMA0/hci0/hci0:11/0005:3810:0009.0003/input/input8
U: Uniq=e4:17:d8:7a:6a:7d
H: Handlers=js0 event2
B: PROP=0
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=ffff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=30627
B: MSC=10

and when i run


ls /dev/input/by-id/
usb-1d57_ad02-event-kbd         usb-_Mini_Keyboard-event-kbd
usb-1d57_ad02-if01-event-mouse  usb-_Mini_Keyboard-if01-event-mouse
usb-1d57_ad02-if01-mouse        usb-_Mini_Keyboard-if01-mouse

no id for my controller so i have to use the event number

my script

#!/bin/sh
## Uncomment one or all of the following if you need to find some information about the emulator or roms
## Name of the emulator
#echo $1 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

## Name of the software used for running the emulation

## Name of the rom
#echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

My system is
Raspberry pi 3 running 4.1
im trying to get my 8Bitdo FC30 Pro to do anything, if i can get something i can build from there.

I have been only focused on scummVM. so i know that the other Emulators have things wrong

right now i have nothing.

mediamogul

@ExarKunIv

Since you're just focusing on ScummVM at the moment, try running the full command, minus >/dev/null from the command line and see if it launches cleanly. All together, that woud be:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
	--evdev /dev/input/event2 \
	--silent \
	--detach-kernel-driver \
	--force-feedback \

	--evdev-keymap KEY_#304=a,KEY_#305=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#312=lt,KEY_#313=rt,KEY_#310=lb,KEY_#311=rb,KEY_#317=tl,KEY_#318=tr,KEY_#314=back,KEY_#315=start \

@mediamogul
thanks for the input

at first i got nothing, but then i put sudo in the front and i got this

Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as:
  /dev/input/js1
  /dev/input/event3

Press Ctrl-C to quit

and it worked.
so it seems like i don't have the rights to have it run automatically.
or that is what it seems to me.

@ExarKunIv said in Guide: Advanced Controller Mappings:

You are exactly right. When the guide was written, I had extra steps in there that allowed xboxdrv to run at a user level because it was necessary for a certain part. I have since revised the guide to simplify the approach and it can now be used without those extra steps and apparently I overlooked correcting the case statement to account for this. I'll amend the guide.

Edit: In short, just add sudo to your case statement as you did above and it should work.

ExarKunIv

thank you so much.

glad that my problem will be able to help others also
:)

ExarKunIv

still no go.

have been messing around with my runcommand-onstart.sh
and still it will not launch

if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv

	--ui-axismap x2=void
&
fi

is what i have.
it seems like the runcommand it not starting.

do i need a

#!/bin/sh

at the start?

mediamogul

@ExarKunIv said in Guide: Advanced Controller Mappings:

#!/bin/sh

I would definitely try it.

ExarKunIv

still nothing

mediamogul

@ExarKunIv

Try changing:

	--ui-axismap x2=void

to:

	--ui-axismap x2=void \

mediamogul

Also, remove the fifth line in your command:

    >/dev/null \

ExarKunIv

@mediamogul

that did it.

the controls work great.
Thank you so much

a quick thing. the mouse pointer slowly moves up.
where in my config would control that.

mediamogul

@ExarKunIv

You can change the cursor speed by altering:

--ui-axismap x1=REL_X:10,y1=REL_Y:10 \

Changing the number 10 anything higher will increase the speed. It can also be brought down as low as 01 to decrease the speed as well.

ExarKunIv

@mediamogul

again I thank you

mediamogul

@ExarKunIv

Not a problem. Thanks to you as well. Without this issue, the guide would have remained essentially broken.

ExarKunIv

now that i have something to go off that is working, im trying to get more configs to work for other systems.

so my question is how to you let the system know that you want the axismap to be fore a joystick.

im trying to get my apple 2 to work. i go the keyboard going :)
just need it to see my axismap as a joystick not a mouse, or will do it do that automatically?

i want to try my best before i post my config and have someone point out what im doing wrong. need to learn it somehow :P

mediamogul

@ExarKunIv

For the Apple 2, I just mapped a series of keyboard keys to the joystick and did the same for the action button. I also mapped the various application commands so that they line up with the defaults in RetroArch just because it's easier for me to remember. Once done, I launched the software and invoked the options menu (now 'select+x' due to my mapping) and from there it allowed me to map the controller in a similar way to Emulation Station. Obviously there are many ways to approach this to suit anyone's preference, but if it helps, I'll include my mapping below for reference.

i can get my few keys to work, and thats it. all i need it the joystick to work now

here is the funny thing. if i remove the above script from my runcommand, and use a usb keyboard to press A.

the left stick works perfect. so the basic emulators see it as a joystick.
so is there a way to only have the keys map but leave the analog stick running off the basic emulators.
im thinking not, but worth a ask

the game im trying it all on is bouldersdash

I seem to remember there being some extra hoodoo voodoo to be done in the Linapple config file to fully enable joystick support. I'm about to head out for the night, but I'll have a look later to see what's required. In the mean time, here's my linapple.conf for comparison:

# !! in order to let linapple find proper way to access needed stuff

# Note 2: Default install directory (for *nix) is /usr/local/linapple/ 
# (defined in Make file in src directory as INSTDIR variable)

OK, looking at the linapple.conf file, I remember two things. First, I mapped the joystick to the specific keyboard keys Linapple uses for control, as seen in my configuration above. Then I had to set the type of joystick emulation that would be used for player 1 in in the linapple.conf file to "keyboard centered", seen in the excerpt below.

#	Joysticks, those sticks of joy! There may be 2 joysticks at the same time
# Possible values are:
#	0	- joystick disabled
#	1	- use PC joystick #1 or #2, for corresponding joystick

#	2	- Keyboard standard
#	3	- Keyboard centered
# When joysticks used as a keyboard, they are stuck to Numpad keys (1-9 - axis movement, 0 - button1, . - button2)
#  when centered used, axis of joystick will be centered after releasing any cursor (Numpad 1..9) key.
# otherwise it assumed to be pressed always

#	4	- Use mouse as a joystick. Rather interesting thing, try it. Useful in Fantavision(tm)by Broderbund Software

# Default values are 2 for Joystick 0, and 0 for Joystick 1

	Joystick 0	=	3
	Joystick 1	=	0

Second, notice that Joystick 1 (Player 2) is set to 0, essentially telling the software that there is no second controller. Only after doing this will the second action button on Player 1 become available. This second button is necessary in many games such as 'Lode Runner' and 'Escape From Castle Wolfenstein'.
