xboxdrv with lr-x1

pajordan

can xboxdrv be used with lr- emulators (libretro emulators)? i'm having trouble getting this example script to work with my setup (System Info: Retropie 4.5 from Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website running on Pi Zero W inside Retroflag GPi Case).

my script looks like the Expanding Launch Capabilities example in the RetroPie Docs xboxdrv guide; here's a snippet i added for lr-x1 to my runcommand-onstart.sh script:

	lr-x1)
	case $rom in
		"Boulder Dash.d88"|"test2.zip"|"test3.zip") # Configuration used only for these ROMs
			$xboxkill
			joycommand="$basicGPI $x1boulderdash &"
			eval $joycommand
		;;
		*) # Configuration for every other ROMs on this emulator
			$xboxkill
			joycommand="$basicGPI &"
			eval $joycommand
		;;
		esac
	;;

but when i launch the emulator with this the controls no longer work at all in any x1 rom.

(same thing happened when i tried to use xboxdrv with lr-vice in this way.)

here are my $basicGPI and $x1boulderdash snippets:

basicGPI="sleep 3 && sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
    --evdev $joystick \
    --detach-kernel-driver \
    --silent \
    --force-feedback \
    --deadzone-trigger 15% \
    --deadzone 4000 \
    --mimic-xpad \
    --dpad-as-button \
    --trigger-as-button \
    --no-extra-events \
    --evdev-absmap ABS_X=x1,ABS_Y=y1,ABS_RX=x2,ABS_RY=y2,ABS_Z=lt,ABS_RZ=rt \
    --evdev-keymap BTN_SOUTH=a,BTN_EAST=b,BTN_NORTH=x,BTN_WEST=y,BTN_TL=lb,BTN_TR=rb,BTN_THUMBL=tl,BTN_THUMBR=tr,BTN_MODE=guide,BTN_SELECT=back,BTN_START=start,BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY3=du,BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY4=dd,BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY1=dl,BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY2=dr \
    --evdev-absmap ABS_X=dpad_x,ABS_Y=dpad_y \
    --evdev-absmap ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y"

x1boulderdash="--ui-buttonmap lb=KEY_0,rb=KEY_2,start=KEY_ENTER+KEY_SPACE \
    --ui-buttonmap du=KEY_8,dd=KEY_2,dl=KEY_4,dr=KEY_6"

could somebody help me with this example runcommand-onstart.sh script from the xboxdrv guide for retropie?

for the following example script, i want to try using xboxdrv just for a certain rom, and if that rom doesn't match i don't want to launch/use xboxdrv. ex. in the fba) section below, what if i wanted to use xboxdrv if there is a match for one of the $rom cases, but do nothing if not? would i just delete these lines?:

                $xboxkill
                joycommand="$basicPS3 &"
                eval $joycommand
            ;;

#!/bin/sh
## Uncomment one or all of the following if you need to find some information about the emulator or roms
## 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
