problem with USB gamepad on retropie about openblok HOT 13 CLOSED

Will look into it!

Yes, unfortunately some controllers don't work really well at the moment (I have a similar controller producing the same issue). I'll see if it can be improved.

I'm hitting this as well, for both of my pads of different types --- issue has existed for a long time and persisted on upgrades from a 3B to a Raspberry Pi 4 from Stretch to Buster. Really hoping this can be addressed!

from openblok.

I've just updated the list of recognized gamepads, could you check the latest version?

from openblok.

That did it for me! Thanks so much. I'll ping the RetroPie folks.

I guess this can be closed then.

@mmatyas, could you do another refresh? My 8BitDo zero 2 (in Android Mode) has this issue (but the others remain fixed).

from openblok.

Ok, there's a new update out!

from openblok.

Thanks so much! I updated my Pi4 and my Pi02W, and both are much better with regard to right/left. The 8BitDo Zero 2 and the native RetroFlag GPi case's pad has no button mapped to the pause menu, though, but if you need to stop you can sink the game I suppose. It's playable, which is an improvement to before.

A lot of ports out there are old DOS games that allow custom joystick calibrations... maybe that would help futureproof OpenBlok? It seems odd that the database is staticly referenced.

The problem with customizing joysticks is that in practice if the game doesn't detect the key press, you can't remap it either :/ But perhaps in the future there could be some sort of configuration.

@mmatyas,

Apologies for pinging this issue yet again, but can we have yet another refresh? I'm doing some testing on Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye 64-bit and I'm seeing almost exactly the same symptoms back in 11/19/2019 --- left button once hit glues to the left. Mapping used to be b to rotate, now it's x, etc.

Thanks so much for this program, it's a lot of fun to play.

from openblok.

Ok, updated the gamepad list, hope it helps!

from openblok.

@mmatyas Thanks, but it looks like that didn't help with my config.

At some point I might have time to try this on Bullseye 32 just to help narrow down a bit but it seems like this might not be usable in the current state, oh well.
