REICAST controllerP1 is empty created by GPIO.

rizzie

I am using batosera 5.24 rpi3.

It is controlled by GPIO, but reicast cannot be controlled by GPIO.
If you look at the controllerP1.cfg file, it appears as below and no key value is created.
[compat]

[emulator]
mapping_name = GPIO Controller 1

[dreamcast]

I searched in the forums, but it's been a long time since I couldn't find a solution.
Is there a solution?
Note that all reicasts work properly with GPIO in recalbox.
Thank you in advance.

finally I get solution 🙂
I added some lines reicastControllers.py as below.
if controller.realName in 'GPIO Controller 1':
Config.set("compat", "axis_dpad1_x", "0")
Config.set("compat", "axis_dpad1_y", "1")
Config.set("compat", "btn_trigger_left", "310")
Config.set("compat", "btn_trigger_right", "311")
Config.set("emulator", "btn_escape", "314")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_b", "305")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_a", "304")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_x", "308")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_y", "307")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_start", "315")
Config.set("dreamcast", "axis_y", "1")
Config.set("dreamcast", "axis_x", "0")
if controller.realName in 'GPIO Controller 2':
Config.set("compat", "axis_dpad1_x", "0")
Config.set("compat", "axis_dpad1_y", "1")
Config.set("compat", "btn_trigger_left", "310")
Config.set("compat", "btn_trigger_right", "311")
Config.set("emulator", "btn_escape", "314")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_b", "305")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_a", "304")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_x", "308")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_y", "307")
Config.set("dreamcast", "btn_start", "315")
Config.set("dreamcast", "axis_y", "1")
Config.set("dreamcast", "axis_x", "0")

rizzie OMG thank you 🙏😄! your post fixed my problem! Ive been kicking myself for weeks trying to get my Twin USB Joystick to work with Reicast. the damn thin just wouldn’t take. and now it works.

i did change “if controller.realName in ‘GPIO Controller 1’: ” to ' if controller.realName in ‘Twin USB Joystick 1’:" 👍

Thank you rizzie and Chamara64! This is awesome!

The fix for this works, except that when I restart the computer, all of the code that I added to the reicastControllers.py file gets wiped out. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?
