Hi All,
How I can configure the second joystick for second player with PiSNES?

I have already checked, downloaded and compiled..
But can't manage to configure my second joystick (axis 3 and 2 of my xin-mo usb interface)

mholgatem

I think that I know how to fix it, give me a sec...

giorgiofox

wow, yeah, thank you!

mholgatem

ok, you are going to have to re-download and compile, I think that this should work. I don't have usb joysticks to test it though, so fingers crossed.

ok, let me try

giorgiofox

make failed with:

mholgatem

I think that I have it fixed. compiling it now, I'll let you know

mholgatem

ok, looks like this new version will build. https://holgatemark1-pisnes-2-player.googlecode.com/archive/527bfef5e1fe4d2fd5cefab20e23b235b7912589.zip

...making...

giorgiofox

after compiling, what rows I need to use to configure joystick#2 in snes9x.cfg?

giorgiofox

uhm.. seem to not work:

I've configured:
A_2=4
B_2=5
X_2=6
Y_2=7
L_2=14
R_2=15
START_2=11
SELECT_2=10
JA_LR_2=3
JA_UD_2=2

but nothing seem to work, directional joystick or button
(I'm trying with SuperMario Kart)

Any Ideas?

(After successfully compiling, I've moved and chmod +x only the snes9x.gui and snes9x.cfg in the main "old" pisnes folder)

mholgatem

hmm... can you post your whole snes9x.cfg file?

giorgiofox

and where I can configure up,down on axis 2 and left right on axis 3?
In any case also the button seem to not work..
thanks :)

mholgatem

can you post your whole snes9x.cfg file?

Yes!

mholgatem

hmm... I'll have to mess around with it some more. Without a xin-mo of my own, it's really hard to troubleshoot this.

mholgatem

is your joystick 1 working also with xin-mo?\

mholgatem

also, can you set the axis numbers that your xin-mo uses? what happens if you set the two of them to the same (left/right 1, up/down 0)

giorgiofox

Hi, Good Morning.

Yes, the joystick#1 work well, axis and button.
But the setting for joystick#2 not work, both axis or buttons.

If I Set:
JA_LR_2=1
JA_UD_2=0

nothing change, nothing happen. Not work.

Seems that PisNES want to use a different joystick than JS0.
( I also have the same problem with PiFBA, but Mame4ALL work well!)

mholgatem

ok, I have tried one last idea. If this doesn't work, then I'm not sure what to do.

https://holgatemark1-pisnes-2-player.googlecode.com/archive/master.zip

giorgiofox

Ok, let my try.
Thanks!

giorgiofox

Done compiled. Nothing seem changed.
But:
We are sure about this syntax in cfg file?

[Joystick]
A_2=4
B_2=5
X_2=6

Or maybe
[Joystick_2] ?

and for axis #2?
JA_LR_2=2
JA_UD_2=3

or maybe

JB_LR=1
JB_UD=0

or

[Joystick_2]
JA_LR=2
JA_UD=3

What you think about?
thanks again

giorgiofox

On http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=42152&start=50 I can read:

Nope, second joystick can't be configured differently than the first.

What it means?

mholgatem

yeah, I dunno. It's too hard for me to troubleshoot this without having usb joysticks myself. Sorry.

giorgiofox

Yes, I can imagine.
Can you please check for the syntax in the cfg file?

mholgatem

Well with this last build, in theory everything under joystick should be labeled with either a '_1' or '_2' suffix.

ex.
[Joystick]
A_1=0
B_1=3
X_1=1
Y_1=2
L_1=17
R_1=16
START_1=11
SELECT_1=10
QUIT=99
ACCEL=99
QLOAD=99
QSAVE=99
JA_LR_1=1
JA_UD_1=0

# player 2 button
A_2=4
B_2=5
X_2=6
Y_2=7
L_2=14
R_2=15
START_2=12
SELECT_2=22
JA_LR_2=2
JA_UD_2=3

But that doesn't work, unfortunately.

giorgiofox

Hi mholgatem
Please check your last build, seem that LR and UD are inverted , both in game and in GUI.
Can you please check?
Thanks
Giorgio

giorgiofox

( I'm trying to use player#1 on joystick, and player#2 on keyboard
(maybe using a python script to emulate keyboard with joystick#2)

mholgatem

you can set your LR and UD in the config, make sure that you have attached the '_1' suffix to the end of your original config settings (ie - JA_LR_1,JA_UD_1)

since the edits to get the joystick #2 didn't work, I would just download the original 2 player keyboard fix and stick with that, so that there are no surprises down the road.

https://holgatemark1-pisnes-2-player.googlecode.com/archive/67bbc0d57cc6032d73ce4dc1be258bf0c721ca23.zip

giorgiofox

Uhm I think that I have something wrong, because also using "_1" I cannot swap UD with LR, assigning axis 0 or 1.

I try to compile again, and also recreate CFG file.
Can you please confirm that this last build:
https://holgatemark1-pisnes-2-player.googlecode.com/archive/415317508dfa259daabf85550801222f7a3b7a37.zip

Works well and also can use two player on same keyboard?
thank you!

giorgiofox

Ok, thank you!
Now I need to find a script, or something help to help me to emulate keyboard with second joystick (the second player of xin-mo interface).
I've tried joy2key but is impossible to use.
If I solve this (joystick buttons to keyboard) I can solve both PISNES and PIFBA second player problem.

mholgatem,

Just wanted to let you know that your changes work great with my two gamepads (old Logitech Dual Action and newer Logitech F310). The controllers use different button mappings, but your changes now allow that.

So thanks! :)

mholgatem

which version did you download?

cacophony

I did a "git clone" of your latest source from here: https://code.google.com/r/holgatemark1-pisnes-2-player/
and then built it.

(sorry, dupe comment posted by accident)

mholgatem

it's all good, I'm all caught up now. Great! I'm glad that it's working for you. giorgiofox was having problems getting the xin-mo interface working with 2 controllers and I wasn't ever able to figure that one out unfortunately. So this is a definite boost to my confidence!

giorgiofox

I've definitely abandoned Xin-Mo interface: too many problems.
I'm now very happy using 19 GPIO, thank to mholgatem all now work!

Conno123009

Glad its working. I had no problem with xin mo myself.
Marked as solved

Howdy, Stranger!
