Colecovision Key Bindings
-
@mediamogul the ultimate pc interface or the vision-daptor has secret button combos to accomplish this if you use them to use real colecovision and intellivision controllers. I have an ultimate pc interface in my intellivision flashback that is modded with a pi in it.
Pressing 4 + * = button 3 (used for pause)
Pressing 5 + 0 = button 4 (used for reset)
Pressing 6 + # = button 5 (used for exit emulator) -

I might get one of these, as I am really enjoying the Colecovision library and wouldn't mind enhancing the experience further. As it stands now, I have the entire keypad mapped to the right thumbstick. Up, down, left & right are 1-4. Start+ Up, down, left & right are 5-8, leaving Select+ Up, down, left & right as 9,0,* and #. It took some getting used to, but this mapping works well for most games, with the two action buttons also mapped to 'A' and 'B'. There are some games however that need their own specific mapping to be played well. Intellivision seemed to make wilder use out of their keypad, so a universal mapping is more hit or miss, leaving many more titles in need of a more tailored mapping.
Also, I appreciate the interest that has been shown in the last few comments about my guide to mapping. It can now be found here.

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but just thought I would mention that in the most recent version of CoolCV (which is not currently in the retropie repository, but can be found here), you are able to require multiple keys (or joystick buttons) to exit the emulator.
For example, by editing the coolcv_mapping.txt file, and adding 2 different joystick buttons to the same line, it will wait for both to be pressed and act similarly to the rest of the libretro emulators.

Very keen! Thanks for pointing this out. I love CoolCV and the developer really produces great work.

Hey all, thanks for everyone's hard work so far, really helping me get my RetroPie/CoolCV into shape. I've run into some challenges trying to configure my USB controllers (Logitech F310's) to work correctly in CoolCV. Using the Windows version, I was able to pull out the SDL joystick codes for all the buttons/movement on my controller and came up with the following. The item in parenthesis is what I want to emulate on the CV.
A = JOY0_10 (Left Button)
B = JOY0_11 (Right Button)
X = JOY0_12 (Keypad 1)
Y = JOY0_13 (Keypad 2)Dpad Up = JOY0_0 (Up)
Dpad Dn = JOY0_1 (Down)
Dpad Lt = JOY0_2 (Left)
Dpad Rt = JOY0_3 (Right)Back = JOY0_5 (Pause)
Start = JOY0_4 (Exit)
Back + Start (Reset)Lt Bump = JOY0_8 (Keypad 3)
Rt Bump = JOY0_9 (Keypad 4)Controller two is the same except it's JOY1 for everything.
So I went into coolcv_mappings.txt and added all the codes to what I think is the correct mappings with no luck and it looks like this (I pulled out the extra Controller 2 stuff, but it matches the 1 section with joy1...).

@Meatball What do you mean by "no luck"? Nothing works, some things work, etc?
The configuration appears to be OK.
-
Ah, sorry, I should have elaborated. :)
None of the commands I have mapped actually work. I can move Up/Down/Left/Right with the joystick (but not the DPad) A & B buttons don't work at all. X button moves Left, Y moves right. Left bumper resets back to the menu. Start and Back buttons seem to start a single player game, so they're one of the numpad buttons 1-4, but not sure which.
-
Anyone else have any thoughts? It's the only emulator I have left to get working and still fighting to figure it out. :)
-
The SDL Keycodes appear to check out OK. However, you may want to give it a closer personal inspection using this chart. Have you double checked your joystick assignments using
jstest? -
Does anyone have a working config for the xbox 360 controller?

For my part it doesn't work :(
And we can't use key7_1 key55 joy0_-1 or key8_1 key56 joy0_+0
I have made a best config file for my two x360 Pads and working with most of the games ..
If you want to use it :A & B : Butons Right & Left to play games
X & Y : For * & # using by many games in menu
START & SELECT : To Save n Load games, so hard to play without savestate
X de Xbox : Exit emulator
R1 & R2 : Butons 1 & 2 to launch most of games
L1 & L2 : For butons 3 & 4
Stick Left & Stick Right : For 5 & 6We only lost 7, 8, 9,0 inputs. Less use by games, but we can use them on the Bluetooth Keyboard at the same time.

Hello, i made the Super Game Pi project ([link])(https://learn.adafruit.com/super-game-pi/overview). All work great with all emulators except with Coolcv which the right and left pad are inverted. I tried to modified the mapping coolcv txt but nothing change. Have you an idea ? Thank you for help.
-
@superpiboy No sorry with my file all is working fine for me.
-
I just wanted to share my Coolcv ps3 controller setup in case it can help. This had D pad working and both buttons working. R1 selects one player while start or select exits. Did not set pause yet, but it can easily be changed by some minor tweaking.
