Joystick testing thread

[redsteakraw]

for paddles, the best adapter is mr.Spinner:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Retro-C ... rollersUSB

Looking through the Documentation I saw it supported the Beetle micro-controller, that form-factor of the CJMCU Beetle is amazing!

[artfakt]

I have try that but and many more. If power cycle the mister also loses the buttens except the dpad of one of the controllers. It look like it is always the first controller that is been setup. I also tried all the switch option on the controller adapter, setting 1 and A wil not work at all for the second controller. If I connect the adapter on my windows 10 pc in the 1 option it wil see 1 usb device and in option 2, 2 usb devices. But the problem could be that both of them are using the same device ID number, there is also only one file saved on the mister sdcard. Can mister handel 2 of the same devices with the same usb device ID's?

Try the attached MiSTer file. Replace the MiSTer file and put

Code: Select all

 disable_usb_merge=1

in your MiSTer.ini and then power cycle the MiSTer.

Then try all the switch options on the controller adapter again.

Thanks paulbnl, that fix made my 4nes4snes adapter from raphnet working. Could it be merged with the main Mister repo so that I can use the disable_usb_merge=1 in the .ini file? Before, this adapter was merging all the controls in player 1.

This is the log from the uart :

The merging was changed in the latest release but apparently there is still some unwanted merging.

If it is ok with Sorgelig I will send the pull request to disable merging with the ini option.

before adding this quirk need to understand why some devices are merged. What devices are merged? They are physically different but got merged? Please give me a console log where input devices are listed.

This is the adapter I bought https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/4 ... /index.php
It's a 4 snes controller to usb. I put it into a snes multitap :

On windows, they appear as 4 hid devices with the same VID_PID but they add a &Col0X for each sub controller.

So it seems to be a collection id.

It seems to be 1 USB device with 4 controllers.

@artfakt can you post the output of 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'?

so all 4 devices have all identical identifications. So i don't see how to distinguish them. They look like 4 parts of the same device.
I have raphnet 2xSNES to USB converter and they looks as proper separate devices. May be there is a firmware update from raphnet to fix such issue. For me it looks like improper USB descriptor without correct splitting to sub-devices.

I've just pushed dual SNES to USB converter update based on Arduino Micro. It properly works as 2 input devices. Supports both NES and SNES gamepads including now NTT gamepad.

So it seems to be a collection id.

what i understood, collection ID is pure virtual, it doesn't come from USB descriptor. Just windows adds additional ID simply to make every device name unique.

Yeah that's why the option in MiSTer.ini is needed to disable USB merge for these kind of devices.

Works perfekt on Arkanoid Core.

Did not work on other cores like AY-3-8500 (Pong)/ Spy Hunter /Turbo Tag.
Are these cores only work with linear potentiometer with 10K-1M resistance?

[Retr80s]

Just wanted to report my experience with MickGyver's DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder project on the Aurdino Leonardo.
Tried it with Sanwa JLF and Sanwa pushbuttons on the Mister. USB Polling rate configured to 1.
I doesn't work very well. It has the same problem as some other USB Controllers. When you try remap / configure the joystick, it double presses many times. It is like if it was "hyper-sensitive". Moving around the Menu is nearly imposible. I do not know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I think not.
I had the same controler working with a Xin Mo encoder without problems. I haven't changed anything apart from the encoder itself.
Just wanted to report in case same happens to others.

[Retr80s]

Hi. Ok, so found solution. My bad!!!
You need to chanage #define DEBOUNCE 0 to #define DEBOUNCE 1 and recompile.

Just yesterday i've changed API for Spinner/Paddle. You have to update mrSpinner firmware, Main, and cores using the spinner/paddle. All are released yesterday.

P.S.: Spinner doesn't use mouse emulation. You have to use my firmware for spinner/paddle if you want to use the spinner/paddle with cores.

[SegaMan]

Thx, will try!

[Sorgelig]

Btw, for long term use i suggest to solder spinner and button. Header will give you instability after some time due to oxidisation.

Arduino Leonardo Pinout Question.

When using one Spinner.

Should i use TXO/RXI to wire the Spinner or can i also use Pin 2/ Pin7 vor Spinner_A and Spinner_B?

And i have to edit <ResponsiveAnalogRead.h> to "ResponsiveAnalogRead.h"

[jim150]

However it works very well for one player.

A pity mister can't map 2 commands sets, one per player, for one USB device.

it's a pity manufacturer cannot invest his money to develop correct USB adapter.
Enthusiasts doing similar converter for free.

Anyone can point me an example of this? I want to replace my old and buggy XinMo adapter of my arcade machine (2 players) and I want a better solution. Thanks!

[Sorgelig]

For arcades with many buttons currently there is only single device per arduino:
https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder
So you need 2 arduino micro boards for 2 joysticks.

Technically it's possible to implement 2 arcade joysticks in single arduino board as it's already done for paddles and spinners adapters. Since arduino micro has limited amount of pins, it will require 2 common pins for each joystick. So it's definitely doable. I'm thinking to make such adapter, but i'm not the fan of arcade cabinets so i have no such arcade controllers to wire.. May be some time in the future, or may be witchmaster will make such adapter.

Actually you should go to library manager option in arduino IDE, find ResponsiveAnalogRead library there and install. Then it will work without editing the file.

If you use only spinner, then you can simply remove paddle code and requirement of this library/header. I will add define to use spinner-only.

Should i use TXO/RXI to wire the Spinner or can i also use Pin 2/ Pin7 vor Spinner_A and Spinner_B?

My adapter supports 2 spinners. So you can use either TXO/RXI or D2/D7 for single spinner. Or connect 2 spinners at the same time.

Well I did it differently on my arcade controller. Since my controller is a mash of various input devices
a) An Ultimarc board which covers two digital sticks and around 18 buttons as keyboard events, and a paddle as mouse x
b) 2 analog sticks which register themselves as controllers with additional buttons
c) a trackball as mouse
d) additional paddle as mouse y

Now this mix needs to expose 2 gamepads one mouse with appropriate buttons and additional keyboard events but not 1:1 more like an m:n setup.

Now all this now works on mister. I simply pushed the signals into a raspberry pi which is running an input multiplexer with a serial signal driver (self written stuff) and then the multiplexer pushes the signals appropriately into two teensies, which then deliver a keyboard, a mouse with two buttons and two gamepads.
This setup works like a charm although it is a little bit of overkill, but it is very flexible, given that changing the mapping means just to change the config file of the multiplexer.

I also thought about trying to shove the gamepad side of things into one teensy, but given that I am new to microcontroller programming, it was not worth my time to figure this out so I simply used two uart ports on the pi4 and two microcontrollers to pull it off.

This setup works great with most of the cores, including paddle games on the atari cores and on arkanoid, it fails however to identify the paddles for instance on pong, where instead of using mouse x and mouse y the analog sticks are used.
Any idea why? Guess the core does not really use the mouse signals of x and y for paddle 1 and 2, right?

This is too overcomplicated for a controller adapter. A single Teensy can do the whole job.
It's only a matter of available GPIOs. Teensy 3.2 has great amount of GPIOs. If not enough then Teensy 3.5 has even more. both 3.1 and 3.5 are 5V TTL tolerant if it's matter. Teensy can implement mouse+kbd+joystick at the same time although its USB stack is less flexible than AVR USB stack.
Not sure if paddle as a mouse is great idea. Paddle has finite move around 270 degree while mouse has no limits.

Yes right for a single mouse and keybard and stick. I could not find any decent information on how to emulate two gamepads on one teensy, the teensy itself has defintiely enough power, given that some people even emulate a full blown ST with it. Unfortunately also the arcade controller delivers its signals over usb3, which also would mean having to add a usb host extension to the teensy and then adding/rewriting the mapper for the teensy in c as well.
Not really feasible in my case from a hardware availablity and time POV.

As for mouse paddles.. unfortunately thats how the paddles register themselves into the usb chain from the ultimarc boards. There is no way around that in my case .
and I did not want to rewire and do everything over a set of teensies. I am past that point given that I was working for a full year on my arcade controller.

The paddles also have inifnite move they can be moved endlessly (not potentiometer based ones, different systems, I guess optical or magnetooptical). Sort of like the knobs on a AV receiver.
