Juyao Dual Arcade 2 player on Ubuntu

Dennis

hi there, i know the fix "Add the following to /boot/cmdline.txt"... but where to add the line in retropie on a ubuntu installation?

mitu

It's already explained in the Doc page:

An alternate configuration method is to create a kernel module configuration file for the usbhid driver. Create a new file by running sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rp-usbhid-quirks.conf (the file name is not important, but the file extension is), with the contents
options usbhid quirks=0x0314:0x0328:0x040
This method works for both Raspberry Pi and PC based installations.

@mitu i am currently reinstalling Retropie on ubuntu... will try that as soon as it is done!! thank you for the awesome and quick reply!

I will let you know :)

ps: I have one other issue with this controller, i can set it up in the input configuration.. but when i am done in the menu (cant get to a game) if i ie: press down, it doesnt go down 1 step but flipt out and goes all the way to the last option.. any idea?

ps: thats why i am reinstalling

What controller is this ? A lot of arcade kits have the same chip and the same name.
Are you referring to the joystick up/down movements ?

Dennis

@mitu i didnt buy it originaly myself... they are identified as 'Juyao Dual Arcade'.. yeah up and down, but also left and right... i don't know how to explain in english (dutch myself) but after configuration it goes all spastic.. doing one click to the left in real life. make the menu skip like 3 or 4 clicks... in the retropie menu doing one click down makes it skip the the last option... if i go to the retropie setup menu, where you can add emulators and update the script etc, i can use the controller just fine

mitu

Have you mapped the joystick axis as D-Pad buttons or as Analog controls ?

Dennis

@mitu d-pad is the first option right?? that one then

Dennis

by the way... i did what you said in your first post, pressen ctrl+c to save the file... restarted retropie but it still says one controller found... although it doesnt work any good as described above

Dennis

@mitu ok i think the problem lies that i cant get it to work to show 2 controllers.... if i test it using jtest both controllers work as one resulting in multiple clicks...

mitu

Please run cat /proc/bus/input/device from the command line and post the output here.
Are you sure you saved the options file correctly ? Ctrl+C does not save the file, Ctrl+O saves it (or you can use Ctrl+X to exit and you'll be prompted to save the file). Did you restart after creating the file ?

Dennis

if i run that from the terminal it says path does not exist.... i think thats also the problem with the: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rp-usbhid-quirks.conf file? which is indeed saved now but doesnt work.... i have ubuntu running

Yes, it's missing a letter:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

@mitu ahhhh lol.. i also have a xbox one hooked up:

Ok, so this looks according to the docs about this controller:

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0314 Product=0328 Version=0110

P: Phys=usb-0000:00:14.0-1/input0

If you run cat /etc/modprobe.d/rp-usbhid-quirks.conf (assuming this is the module options file you created with nano), what's the output ?

@mitu said in Juyao Dual Arcade 2 player on Ubuntu:

cat /etc/modprobe.d/rp-usbhid-quirks.conf

options usbhid quirks=0x0314:0x0328:0x040

ps: something that makes it maybe weirder... my friend has a raspberry pi and it works on that... also works on windows (using a different emulator) but i got a mini pc with ubuntu i want to add in my arcade cabinet

This looks correct, matching your device. I don't know why this isn't applied. You can check if the quirks parameter is applied by running

cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/quirks

I assume you've rebooted the system after adding the file.

Dennis

@mitu when i run that it gives me:
(null),(null),(null),(null)

ps: i used this to install retropie:

This means the quirks didn't apply. It's strange - I wonder if the usbhid module is built-in. What version of Ubuntu are you using ?

Dennis

@mitu Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, the latest.. clean install yesterday
do I need to run the terminal as admin?

mitu

Usually, if there's something needing admin rights - like loading/unloading module - it'e enough to add sudo before the command to run it as admin.

I don't have any more ideas what to check.
You can manually unload the driver (sudo rmmod usbhid), then load it with the quirks parameter set

sudo modprobe usbhid quirks=0x0314:0x0328:0x040

then check again if your encoder is detected as 2 gamepads.
