Hey guys - struggling here.
I had a mock setup (joystick, buttons, latest RPI, XinMo 2-player) all working.
My build is now basically complete and I'm trying to get the controls mapped out but having issues. The joystick works to navigate within RetroPi menus but the buttons etc. aren't working in the games.
Here's what I've done:
1) From the Emulation Station launch, I hit F4
2) Entered: rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg
3) Entered: emulationstation to clear and return to the main menu and get the prompt to configure buttons etc.
4) Press and hold a button to get into the config setup
Here are my buttons:
Here is my proposed layout:
P1 - Start
P2 - Select
Three white buttons left to right: A-B-X
In the confit screen, top to bottom I set it up as follows:
D-Pad Up - Joystick up
D-Pad Down - Joystick down
D-Pad Left - JS L
D-Pad Right - JS R
Start - P1
Select - P2
A- White button 1 (axis 0+)
B- White button 2 (axis 0-)
X- White button 3 (axis 1+)
Y - Yellow button (axis 1-)
I've then skipped the following:
Left Shoulder
Right Shoulder
Left Trigger
Right Trigger
Left Thumb
Right Thumb
Left Analog Up
Left Analog Down
Left Analog Left
Left Analog Right
Right Analog Up
Right Analog Down
Right Analog Right
Right Analog Left
OK button - NOTE the only button that will activate the OK button is the first white button 'A'. I'm not even sure if that's saving what I've entered or leaving the menu, but no other buttons have any effect.
From here, I can go to the Atari 2600 menu, for example, hit the same white button 'A' to select the Atari menu, joystick scrolls to choose a game, button 'A' selects the game and loads, but at title screen, none of the buttons will start the game.
I then have to use the keyboard to ESC back to the main menu.
I've tried this config about 6 times trying to see if I've overlooked something but just can't figure it out.
My Xin Mo is wired as follows on the P1 side:
If someone is willing to chat on the phone or via skype, I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks for any help.
Mike
