MadCatz TE FightStick PS3

[steveb83]

Just updated to beta 16 but still not detected. No. jstest does not change from off to on.

[acris]

hmmm , strange, can you use this command : evtest /dev/input/event3 press on the buttons and joysticks moved There Has it an activity?

[acris]

Try to add this via winscp : create with notepad++ this rule : 99-madcatz.rules ADD this SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="MadCatz PC USB Wired Stick 8838", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1" put into this folder /etc/udev/rules.d via putty chmod 0775 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules reboot et try again

[steveb83]

Thank you. evtest /dev/input/event3 just stayed at 'Testing... interrupt to exit' No Joystick`Button response. I will try to create a notepad++ file called '99-madcatz-rules'. Will the only line in the file be: SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="MadCatz PC USB Wired Stick 8838", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1" ? Should there be any other lines of code\text? Thank you again!   PS Can I also run "chmod 0775 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules" from the command prompt?

[acris]

Should there be any other lines of code\text?

no, only this line.

Can I also run « chmod 0775 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules » from the command prompt?

yes you can.

Use putty like terminal to connect to recalboxOS in SSH or Direct access On the frontend screen, press F4 to quit, then ALT+F2 to get a terminal and use the same credentials as above.

user : root
password : recalboxroot

nano -w /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules copy/paste this line : SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="MadCatz PC USB Wired Stick 8838", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1" ctrl+x , Y, et enter to out in terminal

chmod 0775 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules

reboot rpi try to configure gamepad to emulationstation.

[steveb83]

I'm so sorry, where should the file go? My file structure is different?? I have three partitions, "boot", "recovery" and "share". http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/fullsizerender64.php In terminal I typed: chmod 0775 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules and tries chmod 0775 /share/etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules but couldn't find any file? Sorry!!

[acris]

You must use TERMINAL TO CONNECT SSH not copy/paste into share folder : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Root-access-on-terminal-(EN) or directly into raspberry. Folder ETC is a system folder. delete /share/etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules

Hi all, I've exactly the same problem as Steve with a PS3 MadCatz TE Round2, the buttons doesn't respond. I've created the "99-madcatz.rules" and modified the chmod rights correctly, then reboot the pi. nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules write into the file : SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="MadCatz PC USB Wired Stick 8838", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1" save the file and modify the rights : chmod 755 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-madcatz.rules then reboot I've used 755 in order to give the same rigths as the others rules (99-sixpair.rules, 99-wiimote.rules) in the directory /etc/udev/rules.d/ Here is my pastebin of the command line you advise to Steve : http://pastebin.com/RbtR0aUf The evtest command line display always this pastebin, even if the fightstick is used : http://pastebin.com/JMX4in5f I don't know if it's not a problem of hardware compatibility ? If you've got any suggestion or sample of other config file, or command line to solve this problem i'm really interested in. I've tried to test any config option from the board on the left side "LP" / "DP" and "RS" no changes occured in the behaviour of the PS3 MadCatz TE R2 when i plugged in the usb on the raspberry. Thx for your precious help Note : sorry for the multiple "EDIT" i don't really arrived to customize my post display ... as i'd like to.

[acris]

It 's probably an hardware compatibility and may be need kernel patch Sorry for my english May be with usbhid.quirks :usbhid.quirks=0xvendor:0xProduct:0x040 edit /boot/cmdline.txt file add this line at the end of line with space between last word and new word usbhid.quirks=0x0738:0x8838:0x040 like this

dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=1 sdhci-bcm2708.sync_after_dma=0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty3 loglevel=3 elevator=deadline vt.global_cursor_default=0 logo.nologo usbhid.quirks=0x0738:0x8838:0x040

save and reboot. Try to configure into emulationstation. and post result of theses commands :

cat /proc/bus/input/devices
ls /dev/input/js*
jstest /dev/input/js0

if the same problem add this line into /boot/cmdline.txt at the end : dwc_otg.speed=1 like this :

dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=1 sdhci-bcm2708.sync_after_dma=0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty3 loglevel=3 elevator=deadline vt.global_cursor_default=0 logo.nologo usbhid.quirks=0x0738:0x8838:0x040 dwc_otg.speed=1

Thx a lot for your answer ;), your english is really fine I've tried to execute your commands with the configuration of the recalbox.conf :

controllers.ps3.enabled=0
controllers.ps3.driver=official
controllers.xboxdrv.enabled=1
controllers.xboxdrv.nbcontrols=2

My joystick is a PS3 one's but i've tried this configuration to test if it could solve the problem. Here is the pastebin result of the command lines after editing /boot/cmdline.txt and reboot : http://pastebin.com/K16tYd9c In EmulationStation the PS3 joystick doesn't respond. Same behaviour after a new reboot with the dwc_otg.speed=1 option. Then with another recalbox configuration in recalbox.conf :

controllers.ps3.enabled=1
controllers.ps3.driver=official
controllers.xboxdrv.enabled=0
controllers.xboxdrv.nbcontrols=2

The result is also a freeze of the controller, no buttons responds, but the list of input is different and the values of the axes are not fixed to zero like the virtual gamepad xbox : http://pastebin.com/V1Lx3VcD In EmulationStation the PS3 joystick doesn't respond also, like with the other configuration : dwc_otg.speed=1 Another suggestion ? It seem that the problem is about the USB chipset. I'm not sure some post's is referencing the "VIA" chipset as the only way to connect this sort of PS3 controller, i wish this is not the real problem ...

[acris]

In windows, it's a problem of usb chipset but if you try to linux, gamepad seems to be ok. With jstest , No response buttons ? are you connect other gamepad with madcatz ? try with only one gamepad and maybe keyboard only

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0738 Product=8838 Version=0110 N: Name="MadCatz PC USB Wired Stick 8838" P: Phys=usb-bcm2708_usb-1.2/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/input/input2 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=js2 event2 B: PROP=0 B: EV=1b B: KEY=1fff0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=30027 B: MSC=10

because js0 seems to be an xbox gamepad and madCatz is in js2

jstest /dev/input/js2 evtest /dev/input/event2

maybe to add a new rules into madcatz.rules

KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8838", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0738", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="MadCatz PC USB Wired Stick 8838", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8838", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0738", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

try this xboxdrv enable and disabled. i need to see the result of this command : evtest if your gamepad is not in js2 and event2 try other

[Substring]

dude, @Phen can you paste a udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/event0 if /dev/input/event0 is your stick edit : ooops, it's on the pictures on 1st page

[acris]

may be stick need more power to usb ports. disabled xboxdrv try to add this line : max_usb_current=1 into /boot/config.txt reboot your raspberry pi 2 and try again only with madcatz or if you had self-powered usb hub try with your stick arcade.

[Substring]

Anyway, that stick is said to be buggy even in Windows, i wouldn't have too big expectations on Linux ...

[phen]

The idea of a better power on the USB connector should be the solution, i'll try as soon as possible. But i've only one arcade stick connected directly on my Raspberry 1, the other USB connector is unused. I'm gonna try the new config also and tell you if it works.

Bonjour, y a t'il une solution pour ce probleme ? J'ai un madcatz SSF4 TE PS3/PC et impossible de le faire fonctionner comme les poste du dessus Chose etrange j'ai pu le voir 2 fois dans les option du controleur et j'ai pu faire le mapping des touches, au reboot de la box le mapping des touches ne fonctionne plus pourtant il est bien detecté...est ce qu'on peut esperer une prise en charge de ce controleur dans les prochaines mise a jour ? -------------------------- Hello i got a <span style="line-height: 1.5;">madcatz SSF4 TE PS3/PC and it dont work too...i can see it in controler option, i have do the mapping button 2 times with success but after reboot i cant do it again , the madcatz is detected but press button do nothing</span> Thanks

[Substring]

on a déjà eu des pb avec lui ... C'est pas le truc que même madcatz a avoué que sous windows ils ne garantissaient pas le bon fonctionnement ? Apparemment ils ont fait 2 séries de ce truc. Une bien, et une autre ... moins bien ... en attendant, tu peux me faire un pastebin des commandes données dans https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Troubleshooting-controllers-(EN) ?

[hamon666]
