Help With Dosbox "xboxdrv" Driver

escc1986

This Question is for anyone who can help me ... but maby @ExarKunIv could help if he is not busy

Hi ExarKunIv ... remember this

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/24836/scummvm-controlller-issues/101

You Told me to put this in putty to test the gamepad while the game was running

sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \
	--evdev /dev/input/event0 \
	--silent \
	--detach-kernel-driver \
	--force-feedback \
	--mimic-xpad \
	--trigger-as-button \
	--evdev-absmap ABS_HAT0X=dpad_x,ABS_HAT0Y=dpad_y \
    --evdev-keymap KEY_#305=a,KEY_#304=b,KEY_#307=x,KEY_#308=y,KEY_#310=tl,KEY_#311=tr,KEY_#314=back,KEY_#315=start \
	--ui-axismap dpad_x=REL_X:10,dpad_y=REL_Y:10 \
	--ui-buttonmap a=BTN_LEFT,b=BTN_RIGHT,start=KEY_F5,back=KEY_ESC \
	--ui-buttonmap guide=void,x=void,y=void,lb=void,rb=void,tl=void,tr=void,lt=void,rt=void,back=void \
	--ui-axismap x2=void

to try to get the gamepad acting like a mouse for scummvm

well i was wondering if i could do the same but with the Dosbox Emulation .... The Original Dosbox Emulator on pi (not ir-Dosbox)

my main purpose as some games i have loaded dont run on Ir-dosbox

and i want to use my nes gamepad as a mouse

all the settings of the keys & buttons are still the same ... may i ask .. could anyone help

Thank you in advance

mitu

There's a section in the Docs dealing with xboxdrv, which describes how to automatically start (and stop) it, based on system/game.
