PiFBA arcade stick LEFT/RIGH/UP/DOWN axis. How change?

krzxsiek

I have usb arcade stick.

How change this on fba2x.cfg?
#Joystick axis
JA_LR=0
JA_UD=1

My arcade stick left/right/up/down is 7 / 5 / 4 / 6

On this page https://code.google.com/p/pifba/ is written "All controls are configurable by editing the "fba2x.cfg" file. If your joystick uses axis different than 0 and 1 you can change this in the fbax2.cfg file. "

Where is this "fbax2.cfg" file?
I can not find it anywhere :(

i know but ask for fbax2.cfg not fba2x.cfg

Possibly please advice on how to modify fba2x.cfg in order to handle these buttons left/right/up/down > 7 / 5 / 4 / 6

Sorry for my English :D

mholgatem

it was a mistype in code.google.com/p/pifba documentation. The file that you edit is:
/home/pi/emulators/fba/fba2x.cfg

Here is an example of what it should look like (this is my current config)

[Keyboard]
# Get codes from /usr/include/SDL/SDL_keysym.h
A_1=13
B_1=32
X_1=305
Y_1=303
L_1=122
R_1=120
START_1=49
SELECT_1=50
LEFT_1=276
RIGHT_1=275
UP_1=273
DOWN_1=274
QUIT=27
#player 2 keyboard controls, disabled by default
A_2=114
B_2=116
X_2=121
Y_2=117
L_2=999
R_2=999
START_2=50
SELECT_2=49
LEFT_2=97
RIGHT_2=100
UP_2=119
DOWN_2=115

[Joystick]
# Get codes from "jstest /dev/input/js0"
# from package "joystick"
A_1=0
B_1=1
X_1=2
Y_1=3
L_1=4
R_1=6
START_1=9
SELECT_1=8
#Joystick axis
JA_LR=0
JA_UD=1
#player 2 button configuration
A_2=0
B_2=1
X_2=2
Y_2=3
L_2=4
R_2=6
START_2=9
SELECT_2=8
#Joystick axis
JA_LR_2=0
JA_UD_2=1

[Graphics]

I think that your joystick might be using a keyboard encoder, that's why you don't have any axis. I would try editing the [keyboard] section to see if you get any results. There are two possibilities to try since it is outputting numbers.

Try this one to test if it's outputting keys from the number row.
[Keyboard]
LEFT_1=55
RIGHT_1=53
UP_1=52
DOWN_1=54

Try this one to test if it's outputting keys from the 9-key (numeric keypad on the right)
[Keyboard]
LEFT_1=263
RIGHT_1=261
UP_1=260
DOWN_1=262

you can see the complete list of keys here: http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15/include/SDL_keysym.h

I connect to the working raspberry and it worked on default config.
It's not working if connect to off raspberry.

I have another problem. When you reset the raspberry. Setting the reset and the joystick does not work. How save joystick settings?

Re-installed pimame and works. The problem was the update raspbian (changed my root read only).

do either of you guys know how to configure the 'insert coin' button on a joystick/gamepad? I like its probably staring me in the face, but i cant find it anywhere, not in the readme or the fba2x config...

Is the "Insert Coin" button just a normal button? I'll have a look through the documentation but I don't use FBA often, Sorry. Just try running evtest to work out a bit about the button.

Good luck

lsalcedo

Howdy, Stranger!
