fabio4am · 2017-02-14T22:12:18+00:00

Good evening! i'm a new entry to this world of batocera but not in recalbox....i need a help with my 2 player joystick. I've a THT encoder and i've to modify...

nadenislamarre

just do :

1) mount -o remount,rw /
2) nano /etc/modprobe.d/usbhid.conf
3) /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-save-overlay.sh

see https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/wiki/doku.php?id=en:modify_the_system_while_it_s_running

fabio4am

Thanks, now i can write the file but works only 1 player like before the modify. Buttons and joystick works all but i can configure only 1p not the p2. In controller configure menu i read 1 gamepad detected.
It's very hard.... :-(

my usbhid.conf now is this
...

Xin-Mo 2players 20pins

options usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x75e1:0x040

usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

options usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

USB PS2 Adapter GreenAsia Electronics

....

where did I go wrong?

fabio4am

Can I copy a particular file from my recalbox 4.0 rpi 3 version to batocera 5.3 to use my joystick?

fabio4am Hello fabio4am! Did you make the joysticks run? Thx for you answer.

I have a 2-player XCSOURCE Encoder connected to my PC. It doesn't recognise the second player.
Only player 1 is detected. In the usbhid file ist the line saved: options usbhid quirks=0x810:0xe001:0x040

What can I do?
Please help! Thx.

bloodykean

Is there a solution to the problem?
On a raspberry there you have to add the parameter in the cmdline.txt and it works. Here on a PC the situation is not the same. In the file usbhid.conf is the line "options usbhid quirks=0x810:0xe001:0x040" written, but still it don't work. Did I miss something?
I this post I don't find a valid solution to this problem.
Please help! Thank you!

I hope that I'm not the only one with this.

Hello

I'm facing the same issue with the latest Batocera x64 and a Xin-Mo 20 pins 2 players USB controler

lsusb provides me the following device :
idVendor 0x16c0
idProduct 0x05e1
bcdDevice 1.00
iManufacturer 1 Xin-Mo
iProduct 2 Xin-Mo Dual Arcade

In USBHID.conf this device exists, even if the comment suggests a 18 PINs adapter and not the 20 PINs I have

My grub.conf :
menuentry "Recalbox" {
linux /boot/linux label=RECALBOX console=tty3 quiet loglevel=0 vt.global_cursor_default=0
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
}

It still detects only 1 player in Emulstation...

Any body managed to fix this ?

I also use the same controler on Recalbox with a RPi2, without any issue

bloodykean

No one managed to give me an answer. The device is written in the file USBHID.conf, but gives me only 1 player. In windows is everything normal and on my RPi2. Sorry.

Anyone?

WishmastR

Maybe an issue with the kernel module used for XIN-MO on x64 (I didn't try the x86 version) ...

WishmastR

My mistake, I have a 18 PINs XIN-MO 2 player USB adapter (not the 20 PINs)
It is properly discovered, advertised as a "XIN-MO DUAL ARCADE" in Emultation but only detects 1 player...

WishmastR

Issue is still here with 5.7....

WishmastR

@nadenislamarre , do you need any log file to investigate this issue (faced by multiple users) ?

nadenislamarre

i've not such hardware, so, it's not really easy to analyse.
let's resume :

it works on rpi2 is you add options usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x75e1:0x040
it doesn't work on x86_64

can you confirm that this resume the situation ?
if yes,
on x86_64, can you do :
lsmod | grep usbhid # check that you get one line
rmmod usbhid
modprobe usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x75e1:0x040 # to load the driver with this option
recheck that it works or not
if it works, we'll see in which file it must be put to be done automatically at startup.

WishmastR

Hello @nadenislamarre
Once Batocera is booted despite the entry in grub.cfg (I checked, I edited the right file, related to my EFI boot) I still have the problem.

But I can fix the issue through SSH, performing "rmmod usbhid" then "modprobe usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040" when Emulstation is already started : when doing this the second player controls appears !

I tried to add an entry in /etc/init.d but it seems overriden when rebooting.

Any advise on where to put the two command so they can be executed on startup ?

Thank you 🙂

WishmastR

Maybe the /etc/init.d entry not kept after reboot is related to the overlay ?
Would a /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-saveoverlay.sh help ?
I'll try this tonight

nadenislamarre

yes, you must use this script to save the overlay.
everything you write except on /recalbox/share is written on an overlay in ram. it's lost when rebooting.

WishmastR hi bud could you possibly do out a step by step for me on how you got this right, I'm a total noob when it comes to command line stuff, I manage to get the 2 controllers showing up following some steps you and nadenislamarre mentioned above while using putty, I then run the save script, I then reboot the pc, I get the writing in the top left corner that says recalbox, then the screen goes black and stays like that. Sorry I'm typing this on my phone, if you want me to type out step by step what I have done, I can do that for you, please help me. Thanks

WishmastR

After saving the overlay I do confirm that my issue is now solved : I can use 2 players on the XIN-MO on Batocera x64

Thank your @nadenislamarre

Ok nadenislamarre + WishmastR so here is what i am using and the steps that i have taken. i have an HP computer that i'm running the latest release of Batocera x86_64 on.

on my windows pc i create a connection to Batocera via putty and do the following steps...
1. login: root
2. password: recalboxroot
3. lsmod | grep usbhid
4. results: usbhid 53248 0
hid 122880 3 hid_generic,hid_xinmo,usbhid
5. rmmod usbhid
6. modprobe usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
7. i verify that both joysticks show up now, i configure them both.
8. i then type /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-save-overlay.sh
9. get the sucsess sign afterwards.
10. press crtl + d to exit.
11. restart Batocera
12. Recalbox_ shows up in the top left corner of the screen
13. screen goes black and stays black / no splash screen / nothing happens

sorry for the long post just trying to show all steps taken. maybe reply with what steps i have missed and what i need to type, i'm a total noob with this stuff. Thanks
