chinjw

@edmaul69 Thanks for your help my friend...
i wondering is there any tutorial or info can show me the step to do this kinda joystick/controller mapping...
because i'm planing to get other controller soon (8bitdo NES30 Pro or SFC30) ...
it would be nice if i can do it by my self... :)

@chinjw i can try to explain. However i happen to have one of those controllers so I could have it done for you. I will actually be best making a cheat sheet that people could use if they want to try to set them up themselves.

@chinjw here is a cheat sheet to do it yourself. whatever buttons your controllers config shows is what numbers you need to do here. only change "controls_b" not "a".

hat up = 1089
hat down = 1092
hat left = 1096
hat right = 1090
left analog up = 1217
left analog down = 1153
left analog left = 1216
left analog right = 1152
right analog up = 1219
right analog down = 1155
right left analog left = 1218
right analog right = 1154
button 0 = 1024
button 1 = 1025
button 2 = 1026
button 3 = 1027
button 4 = 1028
button 5 = 1029
button 6 = 1030
button 7 = 1031
button 8 = 1032
button 9 = 1033
button 10 = 1034
button 11 = 1035
button 12 = 1036
button 13 = 1037
button 14 = 1038
button 15 = 1039
button 16 = 1040

@edmaul69 Hello im having trouble with the drastic controls. when i go into drastic menu to change the A&B buttons they come up as keyboard so i have no luck there. Then when i go into the drastic.cfg file they are both blank like this here:

@edmaul69 I'm using a matricom xyba controller by the way

edmaul69

@chuskie when you set up your controller in emulationstation what numbers does your a and b buttons show? Once you know those numbers look at my cheat sheet and see the number you need to put in the drastic cfg for a & b on “controls_b”

edmaul69

@chuskie they are going to be 1024 and 1025. Try those numbers and if backwards swap the numbers.

Would someone who has screen scaling set to full-screen, tell me how me how that value reads in drastic.cfg? I'm using a 4:3 screen so I can't use the GUI to change it. Thanks in advance!

Sorry guys but, i have Retroarch 1.7.6 on Mac OSX 10.8.5 and i've just updated all cores. Can't find DraStic core, only Desmume y melon DS. can anybody help me on this issue?
Best regards to all of you

@kokokool Drastic is not a Librero core, so you won't find it through the RetroArch core updater. Right now, the only options to run DraStic is to either buy it on Android or play it on a Raspberry Pi.
