Scummvm controller help

bassman6805

Thanks. I will work on it this evening when I get home. The controller is in the picture. It has an analog joystick and buttons. The buttons are from a super nintendo controller board I cut up and the analog joystick is from the raspberry pi store. Here is the guide to what I made.

I don't think the joystick is an actual analog movement joystick. Looks like it's just up, down, left, right.

ok cool

the only think that might be a hang up will be the fact is that you do no have any ABS or anglog movement which is used for the mouse movement.

but i think it still should work with just buttons, we will cross that when the time comes. if need be we can ask the god of keymapping.

I completed both steps of creating the runcommand-onend.sh and runcommand-onstart.sh. Based on what I posted above for my controller layout does this look correct for the keys?

--evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,BTN_[•]=tl,BTN_[•]=tr,BTN_[•]=guide,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start
&

If so, where do I assign the keys for direction? According tho the results I got they would be keys 108, 103, 105, 106.

Thanks for your help.

@bassman6805
so far it is looking good
you can remove BTN_[•]=tl,BTN_[•]=tr,BTN_[•]=guide

for your d pad it will look like this BTN_TOP2=du,BTN_PINKIE=dr,BTN_BASE=dd,BTN_BASE2=dl
replace the BTN with your key number

as for getting it to work with the mouse im still looking it to

bassman6805

When I add the directions do they go in the same line as the others?

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805

yes.

you keep everything that goes with the first part in the same line.
--evdev-keymap is for keys and buttons.

bassman6805

Here is what I have for the onstart.sh

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1
--evdev /dev/input/by-id/[•]
--silent
--detach-kernel-driver
--force-feedback
--deadzone-trigger 15%
--deadzone 4000
--mimic-xpad
--evdev-absmap ABS_[•]=x1,ABS_[•]=y1,ABS_[•]=x2,ABS_[•]=y2,ABS_[•]=lt,ABS_[•]=rt,ABS_[•]=dpad_x,ABS_[•]=dpad_y
--evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start,KEY_108=du,KEY_106=dr,KEY_103=dd,KEY_105=dl
--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2
--ui-axismap x1=REL_X:10,y1=REL_Y:10
--ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5
--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void
--ui-axismap x2=void
&
fi

I'm still not getting anything to work. I am using scummvm sdl1 if that matters.

I also tried regular scummvm.

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805
you have most of it right but there are a few things that were needed
try this

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1   \
--evdev /dev/input/event0 \
--silent \
--detach-kernel-driver \
--force-feedback \
--deadzone-trigger 15% \
--deadzone 4000 \
--mimic-xpad \
--evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start,KEY_#108=du,KEY_#106=dr,KEY_#103=dd,KEY_#105=dl \
--ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \

&
fi

I'll give it a shot this evening. On a side note, how do you get the code to show up in the black box on here?

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805

before what you want in the box you put ```

and if you want red you put `

bassman6805

I pasted the code word for word but I still don't get any movement when I launch scummvm and the buttons do not seem to do anything either. Is there something else I can check? Would it help if I posted some settings or something?

bassman6805

I did find out that the xboxdrv was not installed. The original directions I found were old and the menus had changed. I figured out the location and installed it but still no controller response.

ExarKunIv

when you are running the game you can put this on the command line.

then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv    \
--evdev /dev/input/event0 \
--silent \
--detach-kernel-driver \
--force-feedback \
--deadzone-trigger 15% \
--deadzone 4000 \
--mimic-xpad \
--evdev-keymap KEY_#44=a,KEY_#45=b,KEY_#31=x,KEY_#30=y,KEY_#16=lb,KEY_#17=rb,KEY_#1=back,KEY_#28=start,KEY_#108=du,KEY_#106=dr,KEY_#103=dd,KEY_#105=dl \
--ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \

&

this will force it to start and if there is any errors it will come up.

if it is working it will pop up something like this

if nothing comes up then there is something else not working. i did try the mapping i gave you so i know there are no errors on it for my system at least

bassman6805

Please excuse my ignorance. I'm not sure how to get a command line after I select scummvm from the retropie menu. Do I start scummvm on the retropie menu then ssh into the unit and run the command?

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805

yes that is correct

sorry for not being clearer. getting over a stomach bug

bassman6805

Sorry about that. Will this still work at the opening scummvm screen? That's as far as I can get. I don't have any games loaded because I can't move the cursor to load them. This is all I get.

@bassman6805

yes if you put this in the ssh it will come up with something

then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv    \
--evdev /dev/input/event0 \
--silent \
--detach-kernel-driver \

--ui-buttonmap b=BTN_LEFT,a=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,dr=REL_X:25,dl=REL_X:-25,dd=REL_Y:25,du=REL_Y:-25 \
--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \

if all works then this will come up as soon as you hit enter

After that I was able to get the directional stick to work and the buttons.  Once I restarted the unit it stopped working again.  I'm guessing something from the code needs to be added or changed.  Thanks for taking the time to help.  Looks like we or more you might be close to fixing the issue.

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805

that is great, so the hard part is done and over with. now we just need to get it to start when you start scummvm

so now you need to have it look like this in your runcommand-onstart.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" = "scummvm" ]
then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
    --evdev /dev/input/event2 \
	--silent \
	--detach-kernel-driver \
	--force-feedback \
	--mimic-xpad \
	--dpad-as-button \
        --deadzone 15% \
	--trigger-as-button \

of course change what needs to be changed, but the top few lines are needed to have the mapping auto start.

post what you have in your runcommand-onstart.sh and i will take a look if it still not starting
