fyi... this issue seems to be related to: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/3265/wii-classic-controller-pro-axis-reversed

@OyyoDams said in Y axis inverted in Switch bluetooth controller:

050000007e0500000620000001000000

Thanks for the reply. I've done the modification, but the issue persist. I've done the following:
1- Access via sftp and modify the file
2- Reboot recalbox
3- Tried the emulators: snes, genesis, neo-geo and Doom. All still have the Y axis inverted.

It's strange, because in the config file the Y axis seems to be inverted in the new cnofig file, so, should work...

Any other idea?

EDIT: I have tried modifying another line, just for debugging. So I've replaced, for the same controller:

		<input name="joystick1left" type="axis" id="0" value="-1" code="0" />

By this one:

	<input name="joystick1left" type="axis" id="0" value="1" code="0" />

But also, no effect, so the X axis has not been inverted either... maybe this is not the right controller config that should be modifying?

here you have the link! https://transfer.sh/7VbNO/recalbox-support-e50530f9-944d-8056-a8ee-1278dce1bf44.tar.gz

If you want, I can raise an issue too.

@Scavy thanks a lot! I will do asap!!

@OyyoDams What do you mean by "support archive"? do you mean to open an issue in GitLab?

Sure! I will do!

Btw, I have seen that if I open a game and enter into retroarch config, I can swap direction of Y axis and then works fine, but since config is not stored, that configuration is lost when I switch to another game.

Thanks OyyoDams!

That is the first thing I tried, but no matter how I configure the joystick, the Y axis is always inverted.

I have tried in the configuration to press up the joystick when is asked to press "joy up" and still appears inverted. I have tried to press down the joystick when is asked to press "joy up", but again, the Y axis is inverted.

Maybe I should look on some config file, where I can see the exact mapping of the controller?

Hi,

I have succesfully paired a nintendo switch pro-controller (chinese clone from aliexpress), and everything seems to work fine, except the vertical axis (Y) of the analog controller. On all emulators when I press up, it goes down, and vice-versa.

Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks a lot!

The controller tha tI am talking about can be found here.

I have found the solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem was not in the converter, neither in the configuration!
The problem was due to this!!! the fu**ing hdmi wall mount that I have in the box that contains the rpi was cutting the VGA signal, so I tried to connect the HDMI2VGA adapter directly to the rpi, instead of the wall mount and... voilá! works perfectly!!!! even detects automatically the resolution!!!!

so.. conclusion: DO NOT USE ANY CABLE BETWEEN THE HDMI OUTPUT AND THE HDMI2VGA CONVERTER!!!!!!

@idarius Thanks for the explanation.
I've tried your code but... no luck! I'm always getting no signal on my TFT (LG 19inch L1953S-SF).

@idarius by the way... what does this parameter in your config do?

hdmi_force=1

I've not found any documentation related, probably you mean "hdmi_force_hotplug=1"? (you already have this parameter repeated twice in your config)

Thanks!

@idarius thanks for the reply! I will try that configuration! eventhough, it sounds strange to me that you have tried the CEA mode:

# this is for HDMI_CEA_480i60
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=6

If you are using a VGA monitor, should not be better to use a DMT mode?

# this is for HDMI_DMT_VGA_60 (640x480)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=4

I've tried all possible options and none seems to work... Even noobs is not displaying anything...

it's strange because I've seen on forums and youtube videos that my adapter works on rpi! but none of the options worked for me.

Hi paradadf! Thanks for replying!
Yes, I've tried with the laptop and the same TFT screen that I've used with the raspberry, and I've been able to set up a resolution up to 1680x1050 (60Hz) (the maximum supported by the TFT), so I assume that the TFT is also working...
I have even tried with the "hdmi_ignore_edid" option, to ignore edid info, but still same results...

hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

Hi all,
I'm using one HDMI2VGA converter (a standard model from a known Chinese shop), but I cannot make it work...
I've tried the converter with a laptop and it works, so I discard that the converter has any defect.

Then, I've tried all possibe config.txt combinations... but I always get black screen in the TFT... the options that I've modified are:

#for forcing VGA mode to 640x480-60Hz: 
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=4

#for enabling HDMI
hdmi_safe=1

#comment to get jack audio (i've read that in some converters this is required, despite my
#converter has no audio output)... I've tried commenting, setting it to '1' and '2'... no luck!
hdmi_drive=2

#I've tried with 0 (default) and 4 (which is supposed to give more "power" to the TFT)
config_hdmi_boost=4

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Any other Idea? I am missing any configuration parameter?

Anyone that has a HDMI2VGA converter working, could please post the config.txt file?

Thanks a lot!!!!
