Mapping certain keys from Atari800 emu to the gamepad
-
@mediamogul just did it and it says:
-- [ ERROR ] ------------------------------------------------------
error: invalid argument '--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_X=x2,ABS_Y=y2,ABS_=lt,ABS_=rt,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y'
couldn't convert 'ABS_*' to enum, not a member of EV_ABS -
Ah, OK. Looks like you left in the place holder asterisks for 'lt' and 'rt' on the
--evdev-absmap
line. Just replace them with the event codes from your controller. After that, run the command again to see if any other errors pop up. -
@mediamogul pasted it correcting the *'s, and I got this:

Then I pasted & saved the same imput mapping in the atari800 emulators.cfg

default = "atari800"After this I enabled the xboxdrv, performed a reboot and tested the Atari800 emu, and i'm still moving my characters with the analog stick, what am I missing?

There looks to be a couple of issues here and there. Try this:

Edit: Also, when pasting code into the forum, surrounding it in three backticks ``` on both sides helps to keep things manageable.

Still doesn't work. Every single button works as the Atari Joystick trigger button, even start and select, dunno what to do :/
-
I suppose it could be in how the command is formatted. Below is the same command on one line, without any separation.

I managed to get your config to work, what a godsend! Thank you! The only problem I have is my Wii U Pro Controller maps the RThumb (R3) and LThumb (L3) as btn instead of abs. Is there anyway to use your setup for Super Breakout etc.? After toggling I get no response from the thumbsticks and I'm guessing it is due to them being buttons instead of axis.
-
That's tough to say. It's such a specialty situation that anything I say would be guesswork. Did the controller require a driver or did it just pair with Bluetooth?
-
It paired with bluetooth, I may just have to use a different controller. Not the end of the world. Odd how it maps though!
-
meant for another thread.

@mahcneto said in Mapping certain keys from Atari800 emu to the gamepad:
emus, is there any way to map certain keys to the gamepad since this console uses just 1 button for playing? These ones mostly:
This is a very old thread but I want to share somenthing that works well for me just in case someone else will find it useful.
I purchased a $16 3-Key USB keypad from amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P1GY3GN/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_H610W0ZBZ6DNXZSZESYK
I easily (30 second effort) programed the keys to F2, F3, F4 and it works perfectly!
