Scummvm controller help

ExarKunIv

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 \
--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 \

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.

@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

bassman6805

Still no luck. Here is what I have.

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 \
--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 \

@bassman6805

is that all that you have in the run command? if you are missing a few things

bassman6805

Yes. I just copied from guide and changed the button numbers.

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805
ok that is why it is not working. there are commands that are needed before the keymapping

here is the complete runcommand-onstart.sh ( of course you just replace the mapping here with the one that we got working for you)

#!/bin/sh

## Name of the emulator
echo $1 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

## Name of the software used for running the emulation
echo $2 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

## Name of the rom
echo $3 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

##Executed command line
echo $4 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

if [ "$1" = "videopac" ]
then
sudo killall > /dev/null 2>&1 xboxdrv
sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv > /dev/null 2>&1 \
    --evdev /dev/input/event3 \
    --silent \
	--detach-kernel-driver \
	--force-feedback \
	--mimic-xpad \
        --deadzone 15% \
	--evdev-no-grab \
	--dpad-as-button \
	--trigger-as-button \
	--evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_Z=x2,ABS_RZ=y2,ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \

	--axismap -Y1=Y1,-Y2=Y2 \
        --ui-buttonmap a=KEY_UNKNOWN,b=KEY_UNKNOWN,start=KEY_UNKNOWN,back=KEY_UNKNOWN,x=KEY_UNKNOWN,y=KEY_UNKNOWN,lt=KEY_UNKNOWN,rt=KEY_UNKNOWN,lb=KEY_UNKNOWN,rb=KEY_UNKNOWN,tl=KEY_UNKNOWN,tr=KEY_UNKNOWN \
	--ui-axismap x2=KEY_#2:KEY_2,Y2=KEY_3:KEY_4 \
&
fi

and the runcommand-onend.sh

#!/bin/sh

sudo killall >/dev/null xboxdrv 

sudo pkill -CONT python

bassman6805

I'm really confused now with the runcommand-onend.sh. Here is what I have for the onstart.


## Name of the emulator

## Name of the software used for running the emulation
echo $2 >> /dev/shm/runcommand.log

Yoy just need the first two lines for the on end

Just copy what I posted on my last post. That is all you need

Still no luck. Here is my onstart setup.

Here are my onend settings.

#!/bin/sh

sudo killall >/dev/null xboxdrv

sudo pkill -CONT python

I'm not sure why it's not working now.

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805

is your controller event 2 or 0 ?

your earier post when you ran cat /proc/bus/input/devicesit came up with event 0

bassman6805

It's probably event 0. I think I copied the text from one of the reply's and didn't change it. I thought it was supposed to be event 2. I will try it when I get home.

bassman6805

I changed it back to event0 but still not working. I have tried event0, event1, and event2. I'm so confused.

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805
that makes two of us.

just one quick question where do you have the runcommand files placed in your pie?

try this

To fully round out this section on key-mapping, it should be mentioned that in some scenarios, the keyboard that xbmc virtualizes may not be recognized as being a keyboard by the software you intend to use it with. In this situation, you can create a udev rule that will authenticate the input as being from an actual keyboard at a system level, allowing it to function anywhere. To add this udev rule, drop to the command line and type:

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-xboxdrv.rules

Press 'Enter" and type the following:

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="Microsoft X-Box 360 pad", GROUP="users", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}="1"

Now press 'ctrl+o' to save the file, 'Enter' to confirm and 'ctrl+x' to exit.
if that dont work then we need to view the log file to see why

you will have to use WinSCP to dive into your Pie and view the /dev.shm/runcommand.log there.

other then that i done know. from my end you have everything set correctly

bassman6805

The xboxdrv.rules was already present. The runcommand files are located in opt/retropie/config/all. Here is a pic of all the files in the folder.

0_1510097299534_runcommand folders.JPG

I can't find a runcommand.log file. I have searched the whole system. Where would I find the file?

bassman6805

Here is a rundown of everything I have so far just to make sure something isn't messed up.

@bassman6805

everything else looks like it should

did you run this ?

chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onstart.sh

and

chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-onend.sh

bassman6805

Yes, I ran those when I very first created the runonstart and runonend files. I did that following the guide. I am idiot when it comes to linux. The part that gets me is when I started scummvm and remoted into it and run the command you gave me it started working. If you can tell me how to find the log file I will post it.

ExarKunIv

@bassman6805

ok
use WinSCP
to find the log file you just need to open the DEV folder and in that open SHM folder

in there will be the log file that you need.

just make sure you start scummvm first. cuz without it running the folder will be empty.
