Just FYI, @mitu gave this tip in another thread:

@clyde This issue seems relevant - https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/4610. Try using audio_pwm_mode=1 in config.txt and see how it works.

I'll test it as soon as I have the time and leisure to work on my cabinet, but I don't know exactly when that will be.

@txaras Just solved!!
I had the 5pin connector (the end attached to the stick) upside down.

Alas, I can't help you with that. But if you can't find information about ZDE internals, you could also try to find information about USB HID device specifications in general, as the encoders "just" convert the raw signals to those of a joystick-like USB HID.

@robertvb83 said in Zero Delay usb controller Mode and function switches:

accept analouge input by switching the dragonrise mode to analogue...

when the light is orange/red its in analog mode when its green its digital. if you want a true analog control you are probably going to have to add a analog sensor of some sort to it though. The mode button press changes this

try twisting your flat cable round thats usually the culprit

@kingrun Glad to hear it's all good now.

I'm not familiar with any electronics terms, so all I can say that I did connect the blue wire to the top connector and the white wire to the middle one (of the three connectors facing right on the picture). All I know is that this works. :)

@dsstrainer said in evtest continuously sending ABS_Z from zero delay (deadzone problem?):

Well I didn't touch anything... just went to bed.. woke up and was going to try the grep method... but now it just works fine.

Luck favors the well rested. Glad to hear it's working.

have you tried the joystick selector tool?

I solved the problem myself after doing alot of research. I found a 12 v power supply with a molex connector and a set of daisy chain wires that can power of molex and light the leds.

Very neat!

@rbaker Ok, thanks for the respons. The image is without ROMS but I get the point.

@egoo33 make sure you type it correctly as some characters are capital.

Hi guys, I just figure out what was wrong. I noticed that the zero delay joystick directionals should be connected in a specific order in the board: UP | DOWN | RIGHT | LEFT and I connected something like UP | RIGHT | LEFT | DOWN.

I thought the position wouldn't matter because I could set them in the retropie. Probably the board can't handle UP+DOWN and LEFT+RIGHT simultaneously, what makes sense, but when I connected in the wrong positions it wasn't handling UP+RIGHT and DOWN+LEFT simultaneously.

Anyway, my problem is solved now,

Thank you

@cemcyp the OP didn't provide enough info about the system. I suggest you to start your own thread after reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Make sure you have correct usb order:

and do the HEX edit the driver, it's a common issue with zero delay controller, the up and down detect as "3" isn't right:
