are you using the latest verison of pimame? older versions only had the 1 player version of pisnes

I have two identical SNES USB pads of the Tomee variety and all I did was duplicate the config setting for joystick after adjusting some of the buttons and it worked. I really just did it was a one off "let's see" attempt and was pleasantly surprised.

I have the same problem with my Xin-mo and pisnes. Is there solution to this?

I'm releasing a new version tonight with Xin-Mo support built into the kernel. I don't have a Xin-Mo encoder yet, but I would love someone to test it and report back.

Looking forward to the new release then! I'll let you know how it works for me. Fantastic job with the project to all of you involved!

The new version is available to download that has Xin-Mo support built in.

Maybe this could help: http://hetgrotebos.org/wiki/uinput-mapper

With this tool you can divide the joystick into two inputs. I'll have a look at it later this week and report back.

i could not use my second joystick either.
when i press p2's button i get load and save state (weird since I "#") and the axis are off. this is my code. have a look, please.

I found a solution yesterday ;-)

I use the modified 2 players version of pisnes found here : https://code.google.com/r/holgatemark1-pisnes-2-player/source/checkout.

But we need to modify the sources to fit to Xin-mo specifications under linux (first you need to check that the xin-mo module is running correctly with jstest /dev/input/js0 : detection of 22 buttons and 4 axes) : only 1 joystick and all buttons linked to this joy (same for axes).

So in the S9xReadJoypad in unix/unix.cpp file you need to replace in the "else" part of the test the variable "which1" by "0", to force the reading on the first joystick :

} else {
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[L_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[L_2]]) val |= SNES_TL_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[R_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[R_2]]) val |= SNES_TR_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[X_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[X_2]]) val |= SNES_X_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[Y_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[Y_2]]) val |= SNES_Y_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[B_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[B_2]]) val |= SNES_B_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[A_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[A_2]]) val |= SNES_A_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[START_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[START_2]]) val |= SNES_START_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[SELECT_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_buttons[0][sfc_joy[SELECT_2]]) val |= SNES_SELECT_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[UP_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_axes[0][joyaxis_UD_2] == UP) val |= SNES_UP_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[DOWN_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_axes[0][joyaxis_UD_2] == DOWN) val |= SNES_DOWN_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[LEFT_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_axes[0][joyaxis_LR_2] == LEFT) val |= SNES_LEFT_MASK;
if (keyssnes[sfc_key[RIGHT_2]] == SDL_PRESSED || joy_axes[0][joyaxis_LR_2] == RIGHT) val |= SNES_RIGHT_MASK;
}

After compiling it it should work with the xin-mo module... it worked for me! If you don't want to "git clone" and compile, you can download the my raspberry pi arm executable from http://www.morere.eu/storage/pisnes-xinmo-modified-arm.zip

Here is my pisnes config file :

Hope this helps ;-)

This is great! Good going @ian57! This has plagued the xin-mo users for way too long. I never had one of them, so I could never test! If you don't mind, I'm sure Shea would love to include this in the next build.

I can probably mod it in the pisnes source to check for xin-mo. Now that I know what works, it should be easy.

Ok, modifiy your sources, it's better, and i can check if it works for both... Tell us when it's done, i have gamepads and xin-mo.

Ads ;-) : check my raspicade distribution https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicade/

@Conno123009 : I modified pifba as written in https://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Troubles-with-the-Xin-Mo-Controller It worked for me for the xin-mo. see http://youtu.be/p8KqMrq_UW4 (sorry in french)

im a bit stuck with this can someone run me thru the process

Can anyone explain how to get this update please. Is it installed through the command line?

great work ian57 :)
maybe you could do a fix for xin mo and FBA. enabling it to play with 2 players.

@ lsalcedo : this fix is already done and integrated in my raspicade project ;-). I just followed https://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Troubles-with-the-Xin-Mo-Controller and it worked.

I did the same with mame4all-pi to allow the 22 buttons of the xin-mo modules to be recognized, by default only 16 are recognized. I submitted the patch to Squid, the mame4all-pi developper, but no news from him.

@lsalcedo you can download my mame patch at http://morere.eu/storage/mame4all-pi-xinmo.patch.zip. I made it on my own ;-)

get a fresh mame4all-pi from git clone. Apply the patch and compile

pi@raspberrypi ~/temp/mame4all-pi $ patch -p1 -i mame4all-pi-xinmo.patch
patching file Makefile
patching file Makefile.debug
patching file src/inptport.cpp
patching file src/inptport.h
patching file src/input.h
patching file src/rpi/input.cpp
patching file src/rpi/minimal.h
pi@raspberrypi ~/temp/mame4all-pi $ make

Perhaps you'll need to change g++ and gcc compiler variables in the makefile... because i use Distcc to compile. If you compile on the pi i think you'll need to replace gcc by arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc and g++ by arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ in CC, CPP and LD variables.

here is the proof https://sourceforge.net/p/raspicade/wiki/HowTo/attachment/mame-xinmo.jpg

Thanks for all your help ian

im running pimame and could not find these files for fba fix;
/rpi/fba_player.cpp
/rpi/gp2xsdk.cpp
/rpi/gp2xsdk.h (maybe its not required, only for the default values)

ive used your pisnes files and now im getting "segmentention fault"

damm i think im not that good. tkz for your answer ian57

alright! :) please tell me, how do i install these dev packges?

OK, so I put the patch by @ian57 on Github:
https://github.com/Conno123009/PiSNES-Xin-Mo
Just to make it easier :D Enjoy!

And thanks heaps for your work, @ian57
Full credit goes to you!

Just PiSNES for now. I'll upload FBA and Mame4all patches ASAP!
Thanks!

Very happy it helps ;). All my patches for raspicade are located here http://www.morere.eu/spip.php?article176...
