Amiberry 5.1 controller mapping problem (since upgrading from 3.x)

DTEAM

@mitu
Hi Mitu, I have the same problem with my TeensyLc in my handheld system. It worked fine with 3.1 but doesn't work with 5.3. Strangely, my gamepad and touchscreen work fine in the UI.

I uninstalled everything (including the configurations in the opt folder) and re-intalled and it's still the same. I can see two TeensyLc controllers instead of one in the UI like the guy in the other thread with his snes controller!

Do you have an idea of what to do? I'm continuing to dig for a solution.

@DTEAM How is the TeensyLC controller configured - does it connect via USB or GPIO to the Pi ? I assume it appears as a controller to the (host) Linux system and no drivers are needed to make it work.

Connected via USB port like a standard wired gamepad.

Can you get a log file from Amiberry (choose a log file path in the Paths section) and post it on pastebin.com ?

@mitu

Are you talking about /dev/shm/runcommand.log ?
if yes

No, Amiberry doesn't log there.

In the Paths section of the configuration interface, there's a checkbox with Enable Logging that you can toggle to get more logging info:

When I connect another controller (basic snes USB controller) it shows in port 0 and I can only use hotkeys, but in port 1 it's Tensyduino and now I can play the game with Teensyduino, but hotkeys only work with SNES controller. This seems to be a port problem.

I have to do it via /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/amiga/amiberry/conf/amiberry.conf because it doesn't save

New edit: ~~even if the checkbox is selected, it doesn't generate the .log file.~~ I changed the .log file directory location for /opt/retropie/configs/amiga and now it works.

Here's my log file: https://pastebin.com/4Xv5u9cX

Hi Mitu
I don't have this file on my PI. Could it be the problem? See my log on pastebin.com

target_cfgfile_load(): load file /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/conf/default.uae
load config '/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/conf/default.uae':3
cfgfile_load_2 failed

new edit : I added my controller in the /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/amiga/amiberry/conf/gamecontrollerdb.txt with the ppsspp method and nothing has changed.

Could someone please share /opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/conf/default.uae in pastebin.com

No, I don't think that's the problem - by default there's no default.uae shipped with Amiberry/RetroPie.

I don't see any issues in the log, the controller is detected - though Amiberry may be confused by the axis used as buttons. But if you updated the gamecontrollerdb.txt with your mapping (and the log shows the loaded mapping) then this shouldn't be a problem.
You can try removing the mouse entry and see if only with the joystick set the input is accepted and works.

EDIT: can you post the RetroArch .cfg profile for your gamepad ?

I did the same thing for /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/autoconfig/gamecontrollerdb_user.txt
The mapping was incomplete and wrong.

Can it be interference between retroarch.cfg and gamecontrollerdb_user.txt

I don't think Amiberry looks there - it ships a gamecontrollerdb.txtin /opt/retropie/configs/amiga/amiberry/conf and it looks also for gamecontrollerdb_user.txtin the same location, so you might want to use the latter file to add your gamepad mapping.

/opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/amiga/amiberry/conf/retroarch.cfg

That's not the file I was asking - the controller's .cfg file should be in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads.

Hi, here it is.

New edit: I tried many things, but nothing works. I'm out of ideas. Do you know where is the file where we can select the gamepad. I would like to change CD32 pad to default, but it never saves my selection. it doesn't seem to be in amiberry.conf

@mitu

Solved!! In /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/amiga/amiberry/conf/amiberry.conf , I modified:

default_controller1=joy1
default_controller2=joy2

for

default_controller1=joy0
default_controller2=joy1

For some reason, with Amiberry 5.X, it was joy 1 and joy 2 instead of joy0 and joy1.
I'm doing test for the mouse

default_mouse2=joy0 or joy1

NEW EDIT: I think It's an error in the original .conf file, maybe it should be fixed. Another thing, my analog joystick is in reverse mode for left and right and also up and down. Is there an option to fix that?

In order to have sound, I had to put default_soundcard=1 in /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/amiga/amiberry/conf/amiberry.conf

On Amiberry, it looks like I don't have access to all the buttons on my gamepad for CD32.
Can someone do a test with Chambers Of Shaolin and tell me if he is able to punch and kick?
