X-Arcade Dual Stick Button 8 for both Player 1 & 2 only sends any input on release

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo ok, i'll have to dig this further up. Thank you for the report

[kimmykaroo]

@substring Is there any sort of workaround I can do in the mean time?

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo i have to check the patch i wrote for xarcade2jstick, i believe i must have missed a specific key. Meanwhile, the only thing you can do is wish me luck hahaha

Once i believe it's solved, i'll give you a link to test the new binary + howto install it.

One question : did you have to edit the custom.sh to launch the xarcade2jstick ? Because my tankstick takes soooo much time to initialize that the driver doesn't work on normal boot, i have to launch again xarcade2jstick later

@substring No, I didn't have to touch custom.sh, but I do have to make sure the arcade stick is plugged in prior to booting.

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo ok, looks like it's "normal" that it just returns an even on release, the keypress is just ignored to handle some combo keys. AFAIR, I never succeeded to make these combos work ...

[kimmykaroo]

@Substring combo keys? I don't understand. How can I disable this 'normal' behavior?

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo you can't disable that, unless you know C and recompile by yourself the driver

[kimmykaroo]

That's... inconvenient. I'm screwed then?

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo unless i remove combos, but i won't do that beforesome time i think

[kimmykaroo]

@Substring I don't even know what 'combos' are... button macros or something?

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo combo = combination, several buttons at once

[kimmykaroo]

@Substring Are there any other buttons that behave this way, or is it just button 8?

I don't use the standard configuration as is... I really don't see the logic in handling the buttons this way.

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo Looks like the combo is when you combine this key + the player start. You're right, that's just total bulls**t ...

I'll try to find some time to do thatsooner than expected to add it to 4.1. Meanwhile, when it's ready, i'll give you a link + howto to install the new binary. Which raspberry pi ?

[kimmykaroo]

@Substring I use raspberry pi 3

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo ok. Keep checking the forum, I'll try to do that in the next 10 days.

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo patch done, building it. I may not be able to test it before I send it to you. Keep in touch

[kimmykaroo]

@Substring Alright, thank you.

[kimmykaroo]

@Substring How is it coming along?

[Substring]

@kimmykaroo For now my PC is setup to build for Odroid C2, i can't build yet for Pi3. My work over the C2 should be over in the weekend, meanwhile i'll probably have our build build a recalbox version with the modified xarcade. You need to be patient, I won't have much time for Recalbox bedore Sunday
