Gamepad and POV? - junk - 2008-12-25 Hi, I've bought a Mad Catz USB wireless gamepad (looks much like the Xbox gamepad). I would like to set it up with XBMC, and this is what I've tried: 1) Enabled debug logging (<loglevel> set to 1) in advancedsettings.xml. 2) Found the name of the controller in the XBMC log file and added it to Keymap.xml <altname> for joystick "Microsoft Xbox Controller S". 3) By watching the log file, I wrote down which buttons mapped to which button ids. 4) Added one axis id="0" (and upwards) at a time to Keymap.xml and mapped them to event Up/Down, to check which analogue axis where mapped to which axis ids. So, I got all data I need except for one thing: the DPAD. It does not generate any events in the log file, and when I look at it in Windows Game Controllers I see it is registered at the POV-controller (Point of View). Does XBMC not support the POV-events generated by controllers? Or is it (wrongly?) detected as an axis (my first axis have axis id 1)? If I set the Up-event on axis id 0 it scrolls all the time without me pressing any buttons on the gamepad. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! - sammyfreg - 2009-01-03 I had the exact same problem with a MadCatz xbox controller using a usb adapter. The best controller config using the tiger drivers set the dpad as a hat (pov) control. The pov input do not seemed to be detected. Workaround I just found was to install a little program called 'JoystickCursor' (http://www.deinmeister.de/jct_e.htm) and configured it to translate dpad to keyboard input left/right/up/down. Not ideal, but works. - junk - 2009-01-07 Well, I used EventGhost with the XBMC-plugin. It allowed me to use the joystick instead of the dpad. I also found that Generic HID in EventGhost correctly detects the dpad, but it would need some plugin developed to handle it nicely. |
