NES controller not working with New ControlBlock2 build
-
Ok, I was able to reproduce your observation with NES controllers. I have fixed it a few minutes ago.
There is now a dedicated NES gamepad type in the configuration: Use "
nes
" as gamepad type in/etc/controlblockconfig.cfg.
-
My problems are also gone. Thanks a lot!
By the way, this time I used the Retropie-setup script to install the driver. Works fine. -
Original poster here.
I was able to install the latest driver using:
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2/master/install.sh | sudo bashI took me a while to understand the difference between US & UK keyboards to make the "|" (pipe) symbol. For those w/ US keyboards, use the lower right ALT + "~" (next to #1).
I am struggling again w/ having and empty /ect/controlblockconfig.cfg file which is preventing me from setting the controller as NES or SNES.
cd ControlBlockService2
sudo nano /ect/controlblockconfig.cfgI can run jstest /dev/input/js0 and it shows driver 2.1.0 (same as before) and being set as arcade (I had switched it to SNES w/ the old driver back when I could open the config file).
How do I get the /ect/controlblockconfig.cfg file to open again so I can edit it to NES now?
-
You can restore the original configuration file by running the install script again, e.g., by running
sudo ./install.sh
from within the ControlBlockService2 directory. -
Also, the config file is located in the folder
supplementary
within the driver folder ControlBlockService2.
