Scummvm controller help
-
Don't most scummvm games need a keyboard?
-
No, I have played some with my xbox 360 controller.
-
I'm willing to try anything if someone has a suggestion.
-
Bumping to see if anyone might have some ideas.
-
Is that a retroarch config that you linked? Because scummvm isn't part of that (as far as I know). I had to set up xboxdrv and mapped some keys to buttons on my pad, including using the analog stick as mouse.
-
Yes, that's the retroarch config file. Would you care to tell me how to set up the xbox thing for scummvm? If I set that up will it effect my other systems?
-
@bassman6805 It won't affect the other systems if you configure it correctly. Luckily the guide in the docs uses scummvm as example.

@bassman6805 said in Scummvm controller help:
I have used an xbox controller on my other pi and didn't have to do anything to get it to work.
When was this? A year ago, ScummVM moved to version 1.9 which uses SDL2 as its backend. Users reported issues when using a joystick so the devs added the SDL1 version to RetroPie.
Before you take the xboxdrv route, you may want to try installing scummvm-sdl1 from the RetroPie setup script and testing that.
-
Thanks. I do have the Scummvm sdl1 installed and still have the same problem. I am going to try the xboxdrv route and see if that works. I decided to backup my sd card before I changed anything and when I put it back in the pi it wouldn't boot. I'll have to figure out what's up with that first. Always something!

i got my mapped with xboxdrv and it works fine for me. so it can be done -
I'm hoping someone can maybe give some more detail on how to fix this. I read through the xboxdrv instructions and it seems way over my head. I don't even see the option to install the xboxdrv in the new version of retropie. Could someone look at my config file I posted and maybe tell me what to change or add?
-
if someone can help you get it installed. ( i cant im running a older version of Pie so for me it was in the driver option in the RetoPie setup).
i can help you with getting it mapped
-
It's my understanding that the xboxdrv installed automatically now in some of the newer versions but I could be mistaken.
-
oh, well that's cool.
let me know what you need help with when you try messing with mapping.
unless someone else has a better idea -
Ok. Should I jump to section 3a of the guide you posted or do I need to do something else?
-
if you have what your controller is called and what the buttons pin outs read then yes.
if you dont then you want to start from the beginning.
-
I don't know if it has a name. Here is what is in the config file.
Keyboard input, Joypad and Joyaxis will all obey the "nul" bind, which disables the bind completely,
rather than relying on a default.
input_player1_a = "z"
input_player1_b = "x"
input_player1_y = "a"
input_player1_x = "s"
input_player1_start = "enter"
input_player1_select = "escape"
input_player1_l = "q"
input_player1_r = "w"
input_player1_left = "left"
input_player1_right = "right"
input_player1_up = "down"
input_player1_down = "up"input_player1_l2 =
input_player1_r2 =
input_player1_l3 =
input_player1_r3 =
This is also the controller I am using. It works fine for everything else.

hmmm
well for mapping you need a bit more.you need to run this first so you can get the info that is needed

Ok. The only thing connected is a wireless usb hub. Here is what I get for the first one.

I figured out the third command and got these results.
