Turbo Twist 2 & RetroPie
« on: May 10, 2016, 12:46:19 am »
I cannot figure out how to get My Pi1 model b+ to recognize the usb spinner! Is anyone using a turbo twist 2 spinner with a raspberry pi that can help me get it working? Thanks

I'm having pretty much the same problem. Raspberry Pi 2 model B (running Retropie 3.6) and a Turbo Twist 2 spinner from GroovyGameGear. I have been messing around in the command line with "lsusb" to show what's hooked up to USB and it shows the device's ID#, but not the name and data that show up for it when I use "dmesg", which shows "Turbo Twist 2" and "Manufacturer: GGG" and "HID USB Mouse v1.10". When I check to see if the Raspberry Pi is receiving input from the "mouse" (spinner, trackball & 3 buttons) with "cat /dev/input/mice" it shows that it IS getting the data in the form of weird symbols when I touch all the controls hooked up to the TurboTwist encoder. It all works fine hooked up to my laptop, and then the Raspberry Pi seems to get the signals from it, but AdvMame-1.4 doesn't register it at all (or any mouse). In fact I've tried 3 mouse devices with the Raspberry Pi and I can't get any to work, even if they are detected with "lsusb". I've gone into the advmame-1.4.rc file to edit the mouse input and the various assignments there, but no change. I need to get this finished already. Been working on it for months. :blowup:

I hope somebody that knows how to fix this will chime in.

had the same issues and finally got my TurboTwist 2 spinner working in Retropie !! took a long time to figure everything out and gather info from other forums.

so here is how i got it working: first of all, you gotta use 'advance mame'.. looks like Retroarch / libretro emulators don't support spinners.

so, depending on your advmame version :
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame-1.4.rc   or    sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame-0.94.0.rc

change the following settings :

device_mouse raw
device_raw_mousedev[0] /dev/input/mouse0
device_raw_mousedev[1] auto
device_raw_mousedev[2] auto
device_raw_mousedev[3] auto
device_raw_mousetype[0] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[1] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[2] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[3] ps2

... then change this :
input_map[p1_dialx] mouse[0,x]  for advmame 0.9
input_map[p1_dialx] mouse[0,0] for  advmame 1.4

also, to fix some issues :
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

and add

   usbhid.mousepoll=2

at the end of the command line


with that, i got arkanoid 1,2 and returns, and also qester to work with advancemame  :notworthy:

a-ha!  just found this via a google search.  Thanks for the details, I'll try it out....

UPDATE- darn, tried this with advmame (advmame.rc) but still doesn't work.  I'll install adv 1.4 next and try it....

UPDATE 2- no go.  tried all 3 versions of advmame and even double checked my work per your steps.  tab>configure this game>the spinner isn't recognized when i try to map dial analog, using tempest as example

I finally got advance mame working using the content from the retropie forums-

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2836/turbotwist-2-spinner-for-retropie/15

sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame/advmame.rc
(also edit advmame-0.94.rc and advmame-1.4.rc depending on which versions of mame you have installed in retropie)

Entry values to be updated

device_mouse raw
device_raw_mousedev[0] /dev/input/mouse0
device_raw_mousedev[1] /dev/input/mouse1
device_raw_mousedev[2] /dev/input/mouse2
device_raw_mousedev[3] /dev/input/mouse3
device_raw_mousetype[0] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[1] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[2] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[3] ps2

input_map[p1_dialx] mouse[0,x] mouse[1,x] mouse[2,x] mouse[3,x]

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!. I was hoping this would be the answer to my 10 days and counting of trying to get spinners/mice working on Retropie.

All the above two suggestions do for me is to stop the rom loading altogether.

Can someone please please tell me where the numbers in the below text come from and or what I needs to change? I have an Ultimarc spinner it is seen as device 008 at this moment, it is allocated to mouse 1 and I don't know if this is relevant but it is plugged into, via a multi hub'  the bottom right USB port of the PI. As those ports are numbered from 0 to 3 does that mean '3' needs to go somewhere? Is that USB port described as player 4 perhaps?

Yes, the spinner can be seen working in the dev/input/mice method and has been from day 1.


device_mouse raw
device_raw_mousedev[0] /dev/input/mouse0
device_raw_mousedev[1] /dev/input/mouse1
device_raw_mousedev[2] /dev/input/mouse2
device_raw_mousedev[3] /dev/input/mouse3
device_raw_mousetype[0] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[1] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[2] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[3] ps2


Any help would be much much appreciated as ten days of this is making me quite unwell now

Many thanks

Can anyone please tell me if there is anything wrong in my below rc in Adv Mame 094? I am mouse 1, device 008,  usb port 3 if that matters.

Although for some reason since yesterdays plea, I am now able to add the text in RC and have the rom loading, I continue to have no recognition of a spinner in Mame 094 tab.....

Right.

Can I let anyone that stumbles across this thread in the future with similar problems know ... just because there is no reaction in the Advance Mame dial tab it does not mean the  spinner, mouse, trackball isn't already working fine in the Mame. Suggest playing the game to find out for sure

Took me 12 days to figure this out.

Thanks to this 3d i've understand my spinner works ingame and not inside the TAB menu....but....do not works properly, i mean (for example on arkanoid game) it shake! When i moving the spinner the bars of Arkanoid shake (on a small range of movements) left and right, like its close between two invisible walls.

Anyone can help me?  :cry:

Did you set the analog controls in the Mame TAB menu to something other than the analog.  like the letters D and G?
They can conflict and make things jittery if you have them set in the tab menu.
