[SOLVED]iBuffalo SNES GamePad won't configure
  • Arinis
    Hello!

    So I got PiPlay Beta9 all setup and I'm trying to configure the following controller: http://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Classic-USB-Gamepad-PC/dp/B002B9XB0E

    I was able to plug it in an play without configuring but found that only X,Y, the Shoulder Buttons and the DPad worked.

    I then used the built in configuration tool however now that makes it so that when I press a button other than the Dpad o, Start, or shoulder buttons, it exits the game.

    - Has anyone had any experience with this controller or anything similar?
    - Anyone have any idea why this might be?

    Let me know if you need anymore info. Thanks for making such an awesome platform(and for putting CaveStory on there...such a classic)!

    Thanks! I'll try this when I get home tonight and respond if I have any issues.

    Okay so I checked the button values with jstest and they all checked out just fine. Then I configured the controller again using the internal GUI (I configured "EXIT_PROGRAM" to "Esc" and not "A"). The issue still occurred when I pressed "A"

    Whenever I run the ROM (Earthbound in this case), this text showed up:
    "SDL_JoystickGetAxis value :0:"
    and
    "SDL_JoystickGetButton value:0:"

    I assumed this was normal but I figured I'd give a snapshot on what I'm seeing.

    Any thoughts? Is this controller just dumb? Any recommended SNES controllers?

    Thanks for all your help!
