[06:24] <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
[06:25] <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
[06:27] <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
[06:30] <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
[06:31] <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
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <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
[06:39] <diecastarts> ok that worked /dev/input/js0
[06:39] <diecastarts> thanks again ZykoticK9
[06:39] <ZykoticK9> diecastarts, glad to help
[06:42] <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 ~
[06:58] <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??
[07:07] <hypatia> diecastarts: pastebin it, i'll have a look
[07:07] <diecastarts> k one sec
[07:08] <diecastarts> http://pastebin.com/mTZtt0NK
[07:11] <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
[07:12] <hypatia> is this the config for your emulator, diecastarts ?
[07:13] <diecastarts> yeah
[07:13] <diecastarts> vba-m
[07:15] <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
[07:17] <diecastarts> but thanks for looking
[07:18] <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
[13:18] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:34] <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
[14:37] <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
[15:31] <diecastarts> nm all i think i got it
[15:32] <ZykoticK9> diecastarts, is the emulator in question mupen?
[15:33] <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
[15:34] <ZykoticK9> diecastarts, something you may need is "export SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 && PATH_TO_YOUR_EMULATOR" - brb
[15:38] <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
[15:47] <diecastarts> mm ok well that didn't do it .. but there is something that tell me to multiplied by 2 and different things
[15:49] <ZykoticK9> diecastarts, did you try the export?
[15:50] <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
[15:51] <diecastarts> i only pasted the input joy part
[15:52] <diecastarts> so now i know what the number are for the gamepad ..but this is just confusing
[15:56] <diecastarts> Oh i never notice this // its says to check out SDL_keysym.h
[16:16] <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"
[18:49] <diecastarts> Hailz all
[18:53] <diecastarts> heya ZykoticK9 you still around?
