GPIO joystick and buttons issue

[Substring]

@ivolourenco the cp command is not correctly typed. I tried it on my recalbox and it works.
When reporting, please use such `bback quotes, not double quotes

[IvoLourenco]

@Substring All buttons responding. Seems incorrectly setup though. Shall I remap them?

And what have i done... with the commands you suggested?

@ivolourenco Incorrectly setup ? If you followed the wiring diagram + buttons layout like :
Y X L
B A X

You shouldn't have to remap. But ok, try remapping now you know how to reset the mapping

[IvoLourenco]

@substring going to start drilling the button now!

I just noticed that when i push up it goes down... so may be there is a issue on the setup of wiring.

However, I did a run on remapping but it still does not recognise after A button

Thanks

[Substring]

@ivolourenco can you go to http://recalbox while trying to remap, and make a screenshot of Recalbox when you're stuck at remapping ? You can post it here using the small cloud icon with an arrow, no need to drop it on some website

[IvoLourenco]

@substring so this what i do:

1. Main Menu/ Controller Settings

2. 2 Gamepads detected (picture below)
   

3. Press A and start the configuration (joystick configured - Picture below)

4. A button configured as Button 1 and after this none of the others are recognised.
   

[Substring]

@ivolourenco so no button would work once A is assigned ? They all work on evtest, i don't get it ... unless you mixed P1 and P2 ...

[IvoLourenco]

@substring yes basically none work after A is assigned.

How could P1 or P2 affect that? I’m using the GPIO layout proposed within the wiki.

Is there a way within evtest to understand that the button is assigned to the correct GPIO pin?

[Substring]

@ivolourenco nope evtest just reports which event has been triggered. I still believe that if you're saying the layout is not right, then the wiring is wrong

[IvoLourenco]

@substring so I setup my buttons, initiate a game. And then when I have a game loaded at the insert coin (metal slug) or 1 player game (mario) there is no response from any button. I do not have an hot key specific button.

I tried once again to remap my buttons but it does not work as mentioned above.all the wiring is ok as per schematic.

Any thoughts?

[Substring]

@ivolourenco someone has the same kind of issue but for dreamcast only. Can you make ansupport archive ?

[IvoLourenco]

@substring after some more testing this occur within Neo Geo, Name, PlayStation. I can play some games of Nintendo not all.

Support Archive is a separate topic? (Sorry for the noob questions)

[Substring]

@ivolourenco go to http://recalbox/help and make a support archive, post the generated link here

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

[Substring]

@ivolourenco which recalbox version do you have ? Don't tell me you're still on 4.0 ?

[IvoLourenco]

@substring was 4.0 because I could not found roms... so i was using a compile file to try some games.

Changed to the 4.1 and did the support archive, same problems regarding the mapping. (https://file.ac/DaGZwV_MA-U/)

Can we discuss roms subjec on Kiwi IRC? Let me know when suits you.

[Substring]

@ivolourenco errrr ... Tomorrow (10th of November) 9pm CETi should be on IRC

I still believe in a wiring problem ...

[IvoLourenco]

@substring as i will travelling home at that time can we make it sat**day (11th)? Or sunday.

Wiring you mean positioning within the GPIO? If that would be the case we still would have the response when mapping. And the problem is that some of the games work and the buttons work..

[IvoLourenco]

@Substring i'm still troubleshooting the system there are the following situations occuring:

1. Mega drive - I need to use a conbination of 2 buttons to do what we would do with a single button on a normal pad. (e.g. Street of rage - to punch i need to : hold B + A.)
2. SNES - When i push a button the action keeps going (e.g. Bomberman, when i place a bomb. As soon it explode it automatically set a new bom without pushing a button)
   This occurs on DOOM as well if i fire a shoot it continue firing util is out of bullets.
3. Neo Geo it goes to the game, blue screen it returns without working.

@ivolourenco i can't this weekend

And I do believe it's a wiring problem (or maybe a bad configuration on your side) because you're the only one having that problem so far ...
