PSX is making Xbox Controller vibrates randomly and continuously

vinirockman

Hello,

I installed the latest batocera.linux a few days ago (5.6 version) on a Raspberry Pi 3 and I'm having a problem with PSX emulator.

In some PSX games I need the "analog" setting on "input" for precision purposes, but when I set "analog", my wireless Xbox Controller(s) starts to vibrate (rumble) randomly and continuously, forcing me to take out the batteries to make the Controller stop.

Even after put batteries back and connect again, the Controller vibrates randomly and continuoly, making me remove the batteries again.

Is there a fix for that?

Is there any config to set "analog" but prevent to rumble?

nadenislamarre

never hear about that.
which exact controller it is ? usb ? version ?
i've no xbox controller to test i can reproduce. Anybody else ?

nadenislamarre After lots of tries, I think I think I came to a conclusion...

Only one solution is available at this moment for me: Disable rumble in-game configs.

Unfortunately, games that don't have in-game options to disable rumble will bring this controller problem.

Interestingly, disable any in-game rumble option makes the controller stops to rumble even the controller is continously vibrating. That's the only solution that I found to stop the rumble without have to take out the batteries.

When I disable rumble using in-game configs, the controller stops to rumble continously or randomly and keeps "analog" enabled. The in-game options really fixes the rumble problem, making the controller work the way that it should be.

Just to register, fixes that I already tried so far (none of them worked):
1. Format and install latest version from scratch.
2. Different settings with "analog" on and off.
3. Find a workaround/option to disable rumble via emulator (didn't find any).

I found some threads on internet talking about this, but no solution has been found so far...

Also, seems like this problem is no xbox controller exclusive... I really don't understand what config I changed that gives me that problem... Somehow, when I start games (Specially Need for Speed High Stakes in PBP extension), I read "Configuration override loaded", and I can't disable this forced load, no matter what settings I config.

I have a Xbox 360 Controller USB wireless NSF-00001 version.
In fact I have two that both gives me the sabe problem.

Is there any way to give you my current settings to reproduce this?
Is there any way to "reset" the PSX configs?
Is it possible to disable rumble?

nadenislamarre

configs file are in the configs folder.
just remove the retroarch directory and reboot, it will reinitialize at reboot to default values.

vinirockman

Reset configs deleting config/retroarch folder didn't work.

There's still a message that says "Configuration override loaded" when I start a PSX game and the Xbox 360 Controller still stucks vibrating randomly.

Just for you to know, it keeps vibrating even when I come back to batocera.linux main menu (where I select games). The only way to stop the coutinuous vibration is cutting the Controller comunication with the Raspberry (taking out batteries or taking out the usb receiver).

I checked input configs and they are configured as "analog".

I think I found the problem.

When I set the "analog" thru Quick Menu > Options > Pad 1 Type "analog", I get the problem.

When I set the "RetroPad w/ Analog" thru Quick Menu > Controls > User Device Type "RetroPad w/ Analog", the controller doesn't rumble at all and the analog precision works as I need (I also have to set Quick Menu > Options > Pad 1 Type "default" to make it work).

I've been playing for 1 hour testing this settings. I see the pattern above. The "analog" on "Options" menu seems to be the problem. That config should be left as "default" and the analog should be activated via "Controls" menu in the "RetroPad w/ Analog" option.

I'll be back in a few days to confirm this.

vinirockman

Bad news. The problem remains.
ANY "analog" settings gives me the controller rumble problem.
It doesn't matter if the setting goes on any of these paths:

Quick Menu > Options > Pad 1 Type "analog"
Quick Menu > Controls > User Device Type "RetroPad w/ Analog"

The result is always the same.
When I set any "analog" anywhere, I get this problem...

At this moment, I think I have to choose between analog and live with random and continous rumble or quit analog precision and set default. Is there any chance to add an option to prevent controller to rumble?

I have The Same Problem in xu4 with 360 Wireless controller

I've had this issue happen to me more than once. It's not exclusive to Batocera either as this issue has happened to me in lakka before as well. The problem is In the PCSX rearmed core I believe

vinirockman

Looks like we REALLY need a option to prevent rumble.
Is there any other PSX core out there that works on batocera to try?
How do I find them and where do I learn how to make it work with batocera?
(Sorry, I'm very newbie to this linux/retroarch/raspberry thing)

if the "ePSXe" complete emulator can be add, this is a good emulator ...

The image is very smooth , because this emulator uses a OpenGL.so plugin for graphics , creating a "virtual vector image" it's awesome !
