This does not happen with the MA-RA build. With MA-RA, the action is only reported on the first controller. Fixed. I was able to build RA 1.17.0 with SDL2 support. The trick was setting the version to SDL2-2.0.7 on my build machine that matches the version of the library on the GSP. Now you can use SDL2 controller profiles. The two gsp controllers will no long override with player 1 controls. retroarch1.17_sdl2.7z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't done much testing other than verifying that the SDL2 controller driver works. Any joystick that you have a profile in /autoconfig/sdl2 should just work. Not really familiar with champ games.

clyde Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Really great to see so much progress with the various GSP hacks.. I'm just not sure I understand how to implement most of it, haha. 5 hours ago, GB_Baker said: Now you can use SDL2 controller profiles Would this^ make things any easier for getting an X-Arcade Dual Joystick with USB-C to USB-A adapter to work using xinput on the GSP? @big_guitar had explained something earlier I couldn't quite follow re: finding a udev match for the X-Arcade. So I'm wondering if SDL2 controller profiles mean I don't have to figure out udev, or if this is unrelated to what I'm trying to do... Quote Out of the box, on GSP you have to use "udev" for input drivers and the joypad driver as well, although supposedly RA-Linux supports "xinput" as a type for the joypad driver. With the runme firmware patch, you can edit the CFG file passed to retroarch to point to a directory on the sdcard for the "autoconfig" location [using joypad_autoconfig_dir="/sdcard/autoconfig" for example]. Within that custom sdcard folder, you can establish a "udev" subfolder to place matching controller config files, but you'd have to know what your controller device is seen as from the GSP perspective. I did end up finding a udev match for mine as "Generic X-Box pad.cfg" (shows as that even though it is Microsoft brand). I had to add lines to the file for "input_vendor_id" and 'input_product_id", which you can report via other commands, or you could find the matches for recognized controller configs under Windows. 😵 Edited February 20 by clyde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right though, they are a new seller with no feedback. I know some auction houses sell these units in bulk so I thought the seller was one of those who got them cheap. It is possible I will receive some crap instead of the actual thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8264 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 On the Gamestation Pro, the Arcade1Up controller that comes with the Pac-Man HDMI Game Console, works using a cable. For the SNES emulation, all the buttons work except for exact placement. The controller has the left and right bumpers, 4 way direction pad, start, select, and the 4 buttons on the right side, but the 4 button order is different. The Steel Talons game shows the 4 buttons as: UP DOWN FIRE_MISSLE FIRE_GUNS but the yellow controller buttons are FIRE_MISSLE DOWN FIRE_GUNS UP Missing from the yellow controller are the GSP MENU button and HOME button. Those are not used by the SNES games. A normal GSP controller plugged into the second port can be used for those if needed. The home button on the console works. The Arcade1Up MegaMan controller looks the same and may work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still adore mine and find it worth the $80 that I paid. Even though I have an FB...10? And a Retron77. And a modded Vader with Harmony. It does a lot of neat stuff, and is an easy way to play 2600 5200 7800, in HDMI. Tiny footprint too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that it will work with anything that uses "X-input", and I thought that included Xbox 360?

I don't believe any wireless controllers work with it except the stock ones. For the 8bitDo arcade stick, if you were to use the included 2.4g wireless USB receiver, would that work? I have that arcade stick (I love it) and my impression was that the wireless receiver mimics as if it's a wired USB device. That's how I'm using mine. Though I'm not using it on a Gamestation Pro, so maybe there's some reason it wouldn't work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8264 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I recently updated the Gamestation Pro software to version 1.3. On version 1.2, when you selected a game menu like ATARI 2600, you could move the joystick down to page through 5 game boxes at a time each time you moved the joystick down. Now with version 1.3, you press down to get to the second set of 5 games, and then when you press down once more, you are moved back to the top menu bar instead of being moved to the next set of 10 games that were off screen. The way the menu is now in 1.3, when you are on the bottom row of games, to get the next screen of games, you have to move the jostick to the right 5 times instead of moving down once. Does anyone think the game section menu is worse than before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of config settings with enable/disable options were you using? The problem with others I've found out there is they require so many other library files to get close to loading, and it's difficult to get all the library files to play nice together.

If anyone can get xinput working for other controllers on the GSP, please let us know! Have you tried @GB_Baker's RetroArch builds? They do still need some work, but as it is- the first build they released worked with every controller I threw at it, so long as it is compatible with the GsP's Linux kernel, which doesn't exclude many controllers. And if you don't want to use the RetroArch menu, it's entirely possible to substitute a new RA build, but continue to use the GsP's built in menu. You'd just have to use RetroArch to configure your controller(s) first, assuming the defaults were not to your liking(or if the defaults are unusable, as the case may be with some controllers.)
