USB pad diagonals not working

[looneymetal]

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help, i have the official download (now) and have a KXD PS3 clone wired pad.
When calibrating it asks me to put dpad input and then joystick 1 up and left and joystick 2 up and left which i set as my 2 analogue sticks.

The problem is when playing things that require the analogue stick like n64, there are no diagonal directions. for example in Mario 64 i run around and i have to run in straight lines.

On retropie the joypad calibration allows for analogue sticks, is there anyway around this with Recalbox as apart from this little issue its my fav by far.

Kind regards,

[looneymetal]

PS - Im running a rp3

@looneymetal Hi,

The last guy who had that problem forgot to say he wasn't using a genuine Recalbox image, but some lousy pre-bloated image found on the net. Are you in that case ?

[looneymetal]

Hi substring, ya that was me and following the advise on there I downloaded the genuine image from the link that was provided but still have exactly the same issue.

[looneymetal]

@substring and also tried with a switch pro controller and exactly the same.

[Substring]

@looneymetal considering you may be the very 1st one to whom this happens, i believe there is some problem in your ocnfiguration. Can you make a support archive please ?

[looneymetal]

@substring Apologies for the delay, i had to work out how to do that, i think this is it.

@looneymetal just go to http://recalbox/help

[looneymetal]

@substring Thanks for your reply, i cannot get that link to work nor can i find a help section on the recalbox website.
I'll keep trying to configure.

[Substring]

@looneymetal are you on a mac ? Then try http://recalbox.local/help

Or just find your recalbox ip and reach it with your browser

[looneymetal]

@substring Apologies i thought that was on the website rather than through the pi so didn't have it on the network.
Im on a pc.

Hope thats right?

[Substring]

@looneymetal it's right, indeed, but looks like you olayed N64 with a PS3 pad, i don't see any trace if your other pad.s configuration

[looneymetal]

@substring Apologies the switch pro is over bluetooth and battery had died (not sure if that's why) so was using the ps3 pad on the menu, ive just done it again with the switch pad being used (sorry)
