*Solved* Help getting the PS3 NEOGEO STICK 2 to work

[Darksavior]

UPDATE Problem fixed. I should've searched better. Thanks to @barbudreadmon
@barbudreadmon said in Neogeo x Arcade Stick:

I suppose it's the tommo neogeo x arcade stick. You are lucky, i had to fix this for a friend last year and i still had the fix somewhere on my computer.

Create the file "/etc/udev/rules.d/10-neogeox.rules" with the following content :

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="TOMMO NEOGEOX Arcade Stick", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

Then reboot your pi.

If it's not the tommo one, i think you'll have to change "TOMMO NEOGEOX Arcade Stick" by the right name (use "dmesg" to find it), this trick should work with almost any stick/pad recognized as a keyboard, i first heard of this trick when i had this issue with a 8bitdo pad i bought.

I had to change the name to "EXAR USB JOYSTICK PS3"

Without any drivers installed, it works in jstest. It works in retropie-setup as far as using the stick to guide through the menus and buttons to enter/exit a section. The ps3 drivers don't seem to help. Emulationstation and retroarch does not see it at all.
Here's what dmesg gave me. Not sure if I need to provide more info than this, so just ask if I need to.
