[SOLVED] - I need help to make my USB joystick encoder work

[Whipon]

Hello to everyone!.
First I want to give my thanks and congratulations to all involved in  the GroovyMAME / GroovyArcade project.
I installed GroovyArcade and I had perfect sound and video in no time.
I'm using the latest beta.

However, I can't make my controls work.
My encoder is called "ROF USB Puzzle". It has a dual interface for 2 players controls.

If I do a cat or a jtest the device works, but ADVMenu or GroovyMAME doesn't see it.
I enabled joystick in its config files with no luck.

I've also deleted all files related to wiimote in an attempt to disable it permanently.

My XORG log says xinput is configuring both joysticks as a mouse.

I tried adding a 50-joystick.conf in the etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/ as stated in the archlinux wiki, but it has no effect, xinput keeps configuring it as a mouse.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm a linux novice, lots of concepts are new to me.

Do I need to install some new package like AntiMicro or xboxdrv?.
I tried compiling them with no luck.
In fact I never managed to compile a simple thing, I allways get lots of errors while compiling and I surrender.

I really need your help to finish this project, I have all the hardware part finished, all of my games and chds works perfectly, but I can't make the controls work.

Thanks in advance and congratulations for your great work!.

Regards.

Whipon.

Hi Whipon,

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on joysticks. Let's wait for Ves and see if he can help you.

Hi Whipon,

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on joysticks. Let's wait for Ves and see if he can help you.

Hello Calamity, thanks for your quick reply .

I managed to compile xboxdrv and install it. However I couldn't do much with it...it doesn't recognize my controls.
I used its evdev option, but it doesn't create any event at dev/input.

I have a new issue now: I updated the system, and now, all mame games are moved to the lower left corner after loading them in advmame. Its strange since the NES emulator loads well.
I tried messing with the gasetup video options and groovymame -cc with no luck.

Any way to revert video setting back?.

Regards.

Allright, I understand what I did wrong.
I updated the ATI Drivers, and other parts of the OS so, old GroovyArcade patches and settings doesn't work on my new system.
I understand that I must reinstall GroovyArcade.

But before that, I would like to know how I can get my controls configured as a joystick. I'm using evdev as the driver and xinput configures them as a mouse, ignoring the "StartMouseEnabled" "False" rule on 50-Joystick.conf.

I'll keep digging the web. If someone knows how to make a simple usb hid joystick work in this beautifull OS, I'll be happy to know your setup. Maybe by sharing your config files I can addapt them to my system. I can't be the only person in the world with this type of controller.

Thanks in advance.

Hello whipon

This problem is known when used wiimotes and joystick simultaneously, you must disable wiimotes.

systemctl stop wiimote
systemctl status wiimote
systemctl disable wiimote

You have to configure mame and advmenu, to recognize the joystick correctly.

To disable joystick as mouse, delete file.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-joystick.conf

Thank you very much Ves!.
It worked perfectly in MAME!.
Just had to reinstall GroovyArcade and following your directions I got it working!.

However in Advmenuplus I had to map all the options to the buttons, since the directional pads doesn't get recognized.

1joy_up, 1joy_down or 2joy_up, 2joy_down doesn't do anything. So I had to map up and down to 1joy_1 and 1joy_4 (buttons 1 and 4) to be able to navigate the menu.
Advmenu recognizes buttons from both of my controllers, but It doesn't recognizes the axys.

On Screen MAME Detects the axys as follows:

Code: [Select]

Up Joy 1 A5 ROF USB Puzzle -
Down Joy 1 A5 ROF USB Puzzle +
Left Joy 1 A4 ROF USB Puzzle -
Right Joy 1 A4 ROF USB Puzzle +
In Its cfg file it stored them as follows:

Code: [Select]

Up:
JOYCODE_1_RZAXYS_NEG_SWITCH

Down:
JOYCODE_1_RZAXYS_POS_SWITCH

Left:
JOYCODE_1_RYAXYS_NEG_SWITCH

Right:
JOYCODE_1_RYAXYS_POS_SWITCH
Do you know if this data is useful to make the sticks work?.


Thanks a ton for your help , my MAME cab is fully working now  .

Regards.

Hello Whipon,

What version are you using GA / AdvmenuPlus?

Run jstest /dev/input/jsXX, and send logs.

Have you activated the joysitck in advmenu?

device_joystick sdl

If you are using old version of AdvmenuPlus, remember options 1Joy_UP .... are not supported, you'll have to use the old options X_pad...

event_assign up up or 8_pad or 1joy_up
event_assign down down or 2_pad or 1joy_down
event_assign left left or 4_pad or 1joy_left
event_assign right right or 6_pad or 1joy_right
event_assign enter enter or enter_pad or 1 or 1joy_1
event_assign esc esc or 2 or 2joy_1
event_assign space space or 1joy_2
event_assign home home
event_assign end end
event_assign pgup pgup
event_assign pgdn pgdn
event_assign del del or lalt or 1joy_3
event_assign ins insert or lcontrol or 1joy_4
event_assign shutdown lcontrol esc or p or 2 5 or 2joy_1
event_assign mode tab or z or 2joy_2
event_assign help f1
event_assign favorites_next f2 or q or 2joy_3
event_assign type f3
event_assign exclude f4
event_assign sort f5
event_assign setfavorites f9 or s or 2joy_4
event_assign settype f10
event_assign runclone f12 or a or 1joy_5
event_assign command f8
event_assign menu backquote or backslash or lshift or 2joy_5
event_assign emulator_pre f6 or 5 or 1joy_6
event_assign emulator_next f7 or 6 or 1joy_7

All the events I assigned to joysticks doesn't work.
As a workaround I used buttons for that events...for example:

Code: [Select]

event_assign up up or 1joy_1


Thanks in advance for your help.

Just get an IPAC dude. It's better anyway. Less input lag. Why are you wasting time on an inferior solution?

Hello, how are you?.
I don't have any input lag with this USB encoder.
Sadly I can't get an IPAC, because the Argentina government changed the import regulations.
So its extremely difficult for me to get any item from USA or any other country. Yes I know my government sucks  .
On the other hand this USB encoder is avalaible in my country, and works perfectly. Only point down is I coulnd't make the joystick to work in the Advmenuplus frontend, so I'm using the buttons to navigate it.

This encoder uses Axys 4 for X and Axys 5 for Y. I suspect that is the reason Advmenuplus doesn't see my sticks. For example, some time ago, I had to recompile the Dosbox emulator with a fully bindable patch, to be able to map my sticks with that emulator. By default Dosbox only uses Axys 1 and 2.

My GroovyArcade MAME cab is fully working, only thing missing is to be able to navigate the frontend with the joystick up and down...instead of mapping those events to button 1 and button 2.
All 20 buttons of my USB encoder work perfectly fine in the frontend.

Thanks a lot for your comment.

Regards.

Well, I did some tests with some old usb arcade sticks I had lying around, and they worked perfectly both in AdvMenuPlus and all my emulators.

So I decided to hack them:



I notice a better response in the controls now, plus now I can take advantage of the turbo fire feature of these boards. Now I can enable or disable autofire in the buttons individually.

Thanks for all the replies.
