XBOX Controller - Mame Start?
  • ducky
    What button on the xbox controller is mapped to start the game in Mame? I tried using the keyboard, but it doesn't respond when the xbox controller is attached.
  • neogeo123
    I was having the exact same issue. I can insert a coin with the left trigger, so assumed that the right trigger would be start, but nothing... :(

    change your xboxdrv_mapping.cfg to:


    [xboxdrv]
    silent=true
    deadzone=6000
    dpad-as-button=true
    trigger-as-button=true

    [ui-axismap]
    x2=REL_X:10
    y2=REL_Y:10
    x1=KEY_LEFT:KEY_RIGHT
    y1=KEY_UP:KEY_DOWN

    [ui-buttonmap]
    tl=KEY_DOT
    tr=KEY_TAB
    guide=KEY_P

    [ui-buttonmap]
    a=KEY_LEFTCTRL
    b=KEY_LEFTALT
    x=KEY_LEFTSHIFT
    y=KEY_SPACE

    [ui-buttonmap]
    lb=KEY_5
    rb=KEY_1

    [ui-buttonmap]
    lt=KEY_LEFT
    rt=KEY_RIGHT

    [ui-buttonmap]
    dl=KEY_LEFT
    dr=KEY_RIGHT
    du=KEY_UP
    dd=KEY_DOWN

    [ui-buttonmap]
    back=KEY_ESC
    start=KEY_ENTER

  • neogeo123
    Where is xboxdrv_mapping.cfg located please?
  • ducky
    Thanks, I'll give it a try.
  • ducky
    It is in the directory pimame_files.
  • ducky
    Thanks again, it works like a charm!
  • neogeo123
    OK, mame now seems to work.. Great! however the button mappings for SNES appear to have buttons missing... :S
  • thakthak
    Thx Chrisi and Ducky for the information :)
    I succefully manage to make my controller work with PiFBA! (xmen vs street <3 )
  • dylan2k75
    I have just modified the file, work fine with mamE4all but now the xbox controller doesn't work with SNES emulatore! What can i do?
  • thakthak
    Yep it could be great maybe a little bit complicated...
    If i'm not wrong all default config for each emulator is keyboard key? It may be easier to uniform these instead?
    For exemple : 4 buttons, 2L, 2R, start, select and dpad (or analog stick) so 10 keyboard key
    If all default config can be accessible (like the one for PiFBA) you can have one xboxdrv.cfg (with your main conf) and change all the default one

    I hope i was clear... Because it was in my head :-D
  • dylan2k75
    So which command i must do to control snes9x? I have to do this once or ever before play? I have to give it ready for use to my mother and i want to prepara only working mame games and SNES.
    Excuse me for my bad english....
  • thakthak
    I check piFBA and piSNES and they are similar, so you could try to copy the piFBA keyboard mapping (fba2x.cfg) into piSNES (snes9x.cfg) and normally they will use the same key so your config for xboxdrv should work.

    (piFBA :
    [Keyboard]
    # Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
    A_1=306
    B_1=32
    X_1=308
    Y_1=304
    L_1=122
    R_1=120
    START_1=13
    SELECT_1=9
    LEFT_1=276
    RIGHT_1=275
    UP_1=273
    DOWN_1=274
    QUIT=27

    piSNES :
    [Keyboard]
    # Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
    A_1=100 =>306
    B_1=99 => 32
    X_1=115 => 308
    Y_1=120 => 304
    L_1=97 => 122
    R_1=102 => 120
    START_1=13 => same
    SELECT_1=9 => same
    LEFT_1=276 => same
    RIGHT_1=275 => same
    UP_1=273 => same
    DOWN_1=274 => same
    QUIT=27 => same
    ACCEL=8 => i don't know :D )

    I didn't try myself already (but i will thursday evening :) )but i was thinking that may be working... I hope

    If you test before me, let me know if it works!
  • dylan2k75
    Then i must copy "keyboard etc etc" info the file snes9x.cfg, OK after i try. Thx
  • dylan2k75
    doesn't work, the active button are:
    left + right
    RT & LT that works like left and right.
    all other button doesn't works...
  • thakthak
    Arf I'll try some other things tomorrow, and keep you inform if i found something.
  • thakthak
    Ok... Not perfect but it works for me... here my config

    And for Snes home/pi/emulators/pisnes/snes9x.cfg :

    [Keyboard]
    # Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
    A_1=100
    B_1=99

    [Joystick]

    START_1=1
    SELECT_1=17
    #Joystick axis
    JA_LR=1
    JA_UD=0


    But with this kind of config ypu have :
    Light Punch =A // Medium Punch=B // Hard Punch=LB
    Light Kick=X // Medium Kick=Y // Hard Kick=RB
    For PiFBA
    For Snes all buttons work but it's a mess :D (jump=L attack/action=X or A etc...)
    Also (and i don't know why...) only keyboard works in snes menu.

    If someone know how to "increase"... "optimise" (sorry i don't know wich one is better suited for what i mean...) this configuration, i'll take it! But for now, even if in Snes all button are mess up, it works so... that's ok :p
  • peanut
    none of the above works for me... anyone that has snes buttons (xbox360 wireless) working properly?
