PPSSPP directionals not working with digital inputs v30 and v31

drewjbx1

This is both for Pi3 and Pi4, been trying to get dragonrise USB controllers to work since v30. Hoping v31 would address this. Dragonrise contollers are used for arcade cabinets or joysticks. Side note the standalone ppsspp for the last few years works just fine on RetroPie.

So I hooked up a 360 gamepad and assigned it to controller 1.. then 2 and 3 to the arcade sticks. (image 1) I can go to controller mappings in ppsspp and add a joystick input as shown in image 2. The arcade stick registers as pad2.Y Axis-As we all know… no changes are saved and revert back upon restarting a game.

What do I need to change in ppssppControllers.py to have DPAD mapped to the Axis’s?

SDLJoyAxisMap = {

"0" : JOYSTICK_AXIS_X,

"1" : JOYSTICK_AXIS_Y,

"2" : JOYSTICK_AXIS_Z,

"3" : JOYSTICK_AXIS_RZ,

"4" : JOYSTICK_AXIS_LTRIGGER,

"5" : JOYSTICK_AXIS_RTRIGGER

}

ppssppMapping = { ‘a’ : {‘button’: ‘Circle’},

               'b' :             {'button': 'Cross'},

               'x' :             {'button': 'Triangle'},

               'y' :             {'button': 'Square'},

               'start' :         {'button': 'Start'},

               'select' :        {'button': 'Select'},

               'hotkey' :        {'button': 'Pause'},

               'pageup' :        {'button': 'L'},

               'pagedown' :      {'button': 'R'},

               'joystick1left' : {'axis': 'An.Left'},

               'joystick1up' :   {'axis': 'An.Up'},

               'joystick2left' : {'axis': 'RightAn.Left'},

               'joystick2up' :   {'axis': 'RightAn.Up'},

               # The DPAD can be an axis (for gpio sticks for example) or a hat

               'up' :            {'hat': 'Up',    'axis': 'Up',    'button': 'Up'},

               'down' :          {'hat': 'Down',  'axis': 'Down',  'button': 'Down'},

               'left' :          {'hat': 'Left',  'axis': 'Left',  'button': 'Left'},

               'right' :         {'hat': 'Right', 'axis': 'Right', 'button': 'Right'},

               # Need to add pseudo inputs as PPSSPP doesn't manually invert axises, and these are not referenced in es_input.cfg

               'joystick1right' :{'axis': 'An.Right'},

               'joystick1down' : {'axis': 'An.Down'},

               'joystick2right' :{'axis': 'RightAn.Right'},

               'joystick2down' : {'axis': 'RightAn.Down'}

There is a problem with the “gamecontrollerdb.txt” generation in the PPSSPP folder.

The package/batocera/core/batocera-configgen/configgen/configgen/controllersConfig.py has to be fixed.

I have opened an issue : https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/issues/4130

Hope there will be treated soon.
