Was there any resolution to this? I just got a GRS Yoke and the DEADZONE is killing any usability of this.

Parsec for Raspberry Pi

I hadn't heard of Parsec, but it looks like something similar to Moonlight, which I use (or did use, but ever since I updated to RetroPie 4.4 I can't seem to get it to work). I have quite a few individual bash scripts that invoke xboxdrv and then start moonlight and then individual games, so it can be done:

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --deadzone=4000 \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --force-feedback \ --mimic-xpad \ --trigger-as-button \ --ui-buttonmap lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void \ --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.2:1.0-event-joystick \ --device-name "Player_1" \ --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \ --evdev-keymap BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_TOP=b,BTN_PINKIE=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_THUMB2=back,BTN_TOP2=start \ --ui-axismap X1=KEY_DOWN:KEY_UP,Y1=KEY_RIGHT:KEY_LEFT \ --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_Z,b=KEY_E,x=KEY_X,y=KEY_Q,back=KEY_SPACE,start=KEY_ENTER \ --ui-buttonmap back+start=cycle-key:KEY_ESC:KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTALT+KEY_Q \ & sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \ --silent \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --deadzone=4000 \ --deadzone-trigger 15% \ --force-feedback \ --mimic-xpad \ --trigger-as-button \ --ui-buttonmap rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,guide=void,lt=void,rt=void \ --evdev /dev/input/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.3.4:1.0-event-joystick \ --device-name "Player_2" \ --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1 \ --evdev-keymap BTN_THUMB=a,BTN_TOP=b,BTN_PINKIE=x,BTN_TRIGGER=y,BTN_BASE=lb,BTN_THUMB2=back,BTN_TOP2=start \ --ui-axismap X1=KEY_F:KEY_R,Y1=KEY_G:KEY_D \ --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_S,b=KEY_P,x=KEY_A,y=KEY_W,back=KEY_J,start=KEY_H \ --ui-buttonmap back+start=cycle-key:KEY_ESC:KEY_LEFTCTRL+KEY_LEFTSHIFT+KEY_LEFTALT+KEY_Q \ & sudo /opt/retropie/emulators/moonlight/moonlight stream -bitrate 5000 -audio local -720 -fps 30 192.168.0.5 -app "UnderDefeat" moonlight quit 192.168.0.5 sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv

The above script invokes xboxdrv, maps out 2 of my joysticks as against keyboard inputs and then starts moonlight and, ultimately, the game Under Defeat via an emulator on my Windows 7 based PC.

@aditkrator Can you check my update in the other topic to see if the workaround I posted there works for you also ?

@chipowski

No problem. Glad it's working.

@xadox said in Configure 2 identical controllers differently:

I will search on another solution without the use of xboxdrv.

If you find anything, please post back. I'm always interested in alternatives to these types of problems.

This absolutely worked no problems to fix the permissions errors as a permanent solution. Thanks very much! The dragonrise controllers work for me now including save/load and exit shortcuts! :) amazing advice thanks guys

@tgilly If you'd like to diagnose the problem, then you'd have to provide the necessary info. No, I don't think 4.4 is unstable, but your problems look like a power supply problem, the system throttling itself down automatically, or more related to the fact that your ROM folder is mounted over the network.
Check if your power supply is right up to the specs and then try running the ROMs from the sd card for a test to see if you get the same symptoms.

Hi,

I just tried that, it has the same effect.

I updated the driver via the Retropie-Setup and everythings workung fine. Thanks.

@dash-dot I bought the adapter because for the life of me, I couldn't get my controllers paired with the bluetooth on my pi. I tried everything. Some people have had luck pairing them, but unfortunately I was one person who couldn't get the generic ones to connect. I leave my pi in one place all the time, so I don't mind having the adapter at all as long as my controllers work ! :-)

EDIT: I didn't have to calibrate anything. Plugged the adapter in and synced my first controller and the other ones followed suit just by turning the controllers themselves on. No other messing around with them ! I bought this adapter as I was new to the scene at that time and didn't know what other dongles existed for the controllers to function.

I think you're 100% on the right track with the evdev-no-grab, but while I was getting the controller configured correctly in the system, I did something that just deactivated the spinner completely.

I'm going to crash for the night, but will continue to bash my head against this tomorrow. I'll let you know what I come up with.

I am using 2 iBuffalo SNES controllers plus an arcade stick too, which are connected all the time through usb. And I don't have this problem, just saying it. What I don't understand, why do you use xboxdrv? These gamepads are working out of the box.

I also use RetroPie joystick-selection script, which lets you set the gamepads as player 1, 2, 3, 4 in what order you want. After restart, this selection remains. Now, when I think back, I installed this because I had the problem after restart the order wasn't fixed without this script. It was randomly changed. This script gives fixed order, either system wide or even different settings for each emulator.

Not sure if I did understand your problem and if you already use this script.

@dsstrainer That is correct.

@mediamogul
Everything works perfectly, for now at least. Thank you very much!

@yramrag No worries. I was just throwing out random ideas as opposed to actually understanding and fixing the issue! But it's always worth checking the easy stuff first. Glad to hear you are all sorted now.

@herb_fargus Alright thanks.
