| diecastarts | Hailz all .. i know this is not really a support chat .. but anyone know a good one because the #ubuntu channel never responds to me | 06:24 |
|---|---|---|
| hypatia | diecastarts: ask away, if anyone knows they will help | 06:25 |
| hypatia | and you're welcome to ask for support in local channels, that's one of the reasons we're here | 06:25 |
| diecastarts | oh ok sweet // well i am just trying to find out ,,well how to find the name of the my gamepad .. tring to use jscal or jstest but cannot it the name .. i tried joy0 js0 not working | 06:27 |
| diecastarts | what i am really tring to do is find the mapping of the buttoms so i can input those in a cfg file for a EMU | 06:30 |
| diecastarts | its works fine on some programs ... finds it not problem .. but finally have a good working emu but it doesn't have a why to easily config the gamepad buttoms i have to input them manually | 06:31 |
| hypatia | what emulator are you using? | 06:36 |
| hypatia | it probably has a config file in which you can save the byttons | 06:36 |
| hypatia | *buttons | 06:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | diecastarts, your joystick is probably /dev/input/js0 BTW | 06:37 |
| hypatia | to fing out the name of the gamepad, do lsusb | 06:37 |
| hypatia | *find | 06:37 |
| diecastarts | ok that worked /dev/input/js0 | 06:39 |
| diecastarts | thanks again ZykoticK9 | 06:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | diecastarts, glad to help | 06:39 |
| diecastarts | ok so one last question then how do i get the termial to break from that ,, it doing the test but i cannot seem to have it go back to the ~ | 06:42 |
| diecastarts | well it seems i still don't know what to put in this cfg file // if i pastebin it anyone think that they could help?? | 06:58 |
| hypatia | diecastarts: pastebin it, i'll have a look | 07:07 |
| diecastarts | k one sec | 07:07 |
| diecastarts | http://pastebin.com/mTZtt0NK | 07:08 |
| diecastarts | mmm well just looking at a different program where it does work .. and it listed the buttoms as J1 J2 ectect .. not sure if that helps | 07:11 |
| hypatia | is this the config for your emulator, diecastarts ? | 07:12 |
| diecastarts | yeah | 07:13 |
| diecastarts | vba-m | 07:13 |
| hypatia | hmm, i'm not familiar with it | 07:15 |
| hypatia | is there any documentation, diecastarts ? | 07:15 |
| diecastarts | oh ok np | 07:15 |
| diecastarts | nope just that .. i'll keep looking around | 07:15 |
| diecastarts | but thanks for looking | 07:17 |
| diecastarts | I think i have an idea how to do it .. i just open a cfg file and the number are all wayyyy different so i'll try those and see if that helps | 07:18 |
| diecastarts | thanks for your time | 07:18 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:18 |
| diecastarts | hailz all again .. well i am back.. i guess i was no going the correct path to get my joystick wroking with a emu .. but reading into it found it it should be supported its using SDL .. now still not sure how to get it working .. but i also found a program called SDL Configurator but no idea how to use it .. i tried sudo ./SDL-Test the name of the file .. not sure if i have to compile or not .. sorry sooo new it no funny LOL | 14:34 |
| diecastarts | But i am guessing not a compile thing .. normally you can open the file to read it if it was .. but getting a unknown file when trying to open in gedit | 14:37 |
| diecastarts | nm all i think i got it | 15:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | diecastarts, is the emulator in question mupen? | 15:32 |
| diecastarts | nope it vba-m | 15:33 |
| diecastarts | but i have the SDL-test program working | 15:33 |
| diecastarts | and it returning the numbers i think i need to put into the cfg file | 15:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | diecastarts, something you may need is "export SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 && PATH_TO_YOUR_EMULATOR" - brb | 15:34 |
| diecastarts | ZykoticK9, k but i think i'll try this frist because .. the way it look it all set to keyboard these values are different | 15:38 |
| diecastarts | mm ok well that didn't do it .. but there is something that tell me to multiplied by 2 and different things | 15:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | diecastarts, did you try the export? | 15:49 |
| diecastarts | http://pastebin.com/RQWMPQ76 | 15:50 |
| diecastarts | nope not sure where the emu is looking for it | 15:50 |
| diecastarts | but if you look at that you will see what i mean | 15:50 |
| diecastarts | i only pasted the input joy part | 15:51 |
| diecastarts | so now i know what the number are for the gamepad ..but this is just confusing | 15:52 |
| diecastarts | Oh i never notice this // its says to check out SDL_keysym.h | 15:56 |
| diecastarts | well there is no file like that on my machine ... but the way it looks I need the decive number and then button numbers .. i know the buttons now .. but I tried different combos 021 or 0021 ectect //because lsusb tells me this "Bus 002 Device 021: ID 046d:c216 Logitech, Inc. Dual Action Gamepad" | 16:16 |
| diecastarts | Hailz all | 18:49 |
| diecastarts | heya ZykoticK9 you still around? | 18:53 |
