up & down (y-axis) not working in 3.8
-
@Pyjamarama I answer myself. Yes you can. You need to ho bash and sudo cp blah blah (winscp cannot overwite them)
-
After hex edit the driver, the left and right buttons does not work in ES(I use L/R button to skip page). But these button works in games. Does anyone has this problem?
-
re configure the controller in emulaionstation
-
@Pyjamarama I did that but it's not working.
-
This seems like a big enough issue to warrant a patch. It seems that encoder that shows up as Dragonrise is used by many for its ease of use and price. If I FTP the file off, edit it in Windows, and FTP it back, will that be ok?

Hi everyone!
I had this issue too... I just have been able to fix the "y" axis by inverting the values from the "hid.dr.ko" but the "X"axis still don't work outside Emulationstation.
I'm so close to set up DAPHNE emulator but now the only axis it works is the "y".
I'm using a dragonrise usb generic controller.
Can I fix the "x" axis from "hid.dr.ko"? If yes can you please tell me how to do it.Please help.
Thanks in advance
-
@Fabpie it's crazy that such a widely used device has such a huge bug. That encoder is sold all over the place. I hope to try the fix today.

@retropiepghguy Thanks in advance... If you do you'll be my hero! finger crossing ;)
-
@Fabpie from what I am reading, getting the hex editor installed is the tough part. I may ftp the file off, edit it on Windows, and ftp it back. Luckily I have a test system.
-
Thanks again!
Just a little question, do I have to give you my hid.dr.ko file? -
Just discovered that with another pad with USB pad driver, daphne works.
So it seems it is a hid-dr.ko driver problem or something else.
Hope this could be a clue for you!
thanks -
@Fabpie Thanks. It does work with another gamepad. I tested that. I got the up and down to work after making changes to the driver. Now left and right does not work. Very odd!!!!
-
it does not recognize the 0 axis, 30 in HEX. The strange thing is that works with "Y" axis and actually look at the driver, this make sense. I mean once you switch from 33 ("Rx" based to the Joystick scheme) to 31 ("Y" based to the Joystick scheme) to fix "Y" as above, solvethe issue as should be. So for "X" it looks like the "0" value is not really appreciated.
I hope there is a solution to fix this. So frustrating ;) -
Based on my internet readings The issues cuold be:
-
Debian Bug report logs - #785606
HID support broken for some devices (incl. DragonRise USB joystick) -
Driver problem (hid-dr.ko)
-
Other Kernel issues
-
I've also found articles talking about ways to PATCH this problem but, onestly, I can't manage to figure it out.
Can we just tell the joystick to use another driver and emuate an USB GAMEPAD?
Can we fix the firmware?This is all I basically have in my mind / dreams ;) . Really hope to find out a solution. As Daphne would say... Save Me! ;)

Thanks. Also, I edited the file in Windows. I was able to copy and past the changed file into the proper directories (after a backup of the file just in case) by manually editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I changed the PermitRootLogin to yes and rebooted. I was able to ssh and FTP in as root, giving me the permissions to overwrite the files. So do you think there is a fix for this issue? Dragon's Lair is not playable with the Dragonrise with it!
-
I'm wondering if anyone here can explain if there is a solution, at least how to patch this issue.
Very sad about it. -
So doing what I did got the Y axis to work in Daphne, but took out a bunch of other joystick functions. And it still didn't fix the X axis in Daphne. I had to re-image my entire system! This is a bad issue for sure.
-
Even stranger. I will try by patching it. But it's quite tricky ;)
-
I've found this recent patch that looks like it would be helpful for this issue.
Only one little / big problem for me.
No idea in how to patch it ;)
I've tried few things but i couldn't been able to patch it.Does anybody have suggestions?

@Fabpie thanks for sending. I have no idea what it means however. If u ask me, our best bet is to find another encoder. Bummer!
