PSX Emulator refuses to start after Controller setup
-
@meleu Well...that was easy :D Thanks a bunch. I though about just re-installing the emulator entirely, but didn't want to mess up more than i already had. At least now i know that i can safely re-install an emulator should i ever mess up.
Will be looking into the analog issue once i have a little more time at hand, as it seems to be a little more involved.
Again, thanks a bunch ! -
@Einherjar about the analog, try the solution I proposed in this post:

Im using a DS4 pad, which uses the standard "Sony wireless gamepad" configs, so technically, it should also have Analog pre-configured (works well enough in Cannonball, the Outrun engine) .
nope. just like if you enabled analog on an original PSX controller, any game that doesn't support analog control would not work, so it will always need manually turning on/off.
as per the wiki, it has to be turned on/off in the core options (however there is currently an outstanding issue there - fix pending)
-
@dankcushions "pre-configured" as in "works when enabled". Im fully aware that not all games support analog controllers and lock input entirely if you switched your DS controller into analog mode.
What i meant was, that since i set up analog controls the first time i started Retropie, it should have recognized stick movement while in analog mode.
The game recognized the controller type, but not the stick input itself.Interestingly, it worked perfectly now that i reinstalled the emulator, even without the fix @meleu presented.
The only issue i have now is the same issue i have on my PC using ePSXe, meaning that certain directions aren't picked up as "full tilt" of the stick, but this is most certainly a game specific issue ^^ -

As reported here, the problem happens when you set 2 players as analog.

@meleu Which i didn't do the first time around.
I only set the first controller to analog, and it didn't block out the entire controller either. It just didn't recognize stick input. Facebuttons, D-Pad, even stick buttons (L3/R3) worked fine, just the sticks didn't.And by doing the exact same after the re-installation, it worked perfectly fine. So my best guess is, that sometime before, something messed with the configs shrugs. As long as it works now, im not complaining ^^

The pull request 51 on libretro/pcsx_rearmed github repository fix these bugs. no one have merge the code at this moment, i don't know when the project will make this action...
-
it hasfinally been merged! an update of lr-pcsxrearmed from source will get it https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/updating-retropie#updatinginstalling-individual-packages
-
I just receive a mail from github !
I think about my next dev over my free time :p. I have an idea but it's take time ! -
@dankcushions This case gets more and more curious :D
Im pretty sure i reinstalled the emulator "from binary" and not from source and it still worked at the end...weird.
Anyways, thanks for the headsup !
