XBOX 360 controller mapping messed up in Duckstation

lawina

Hi,

I started using Batocera recently and i have to say i absolutely love it. But i stumbled upon a little problem, maybe someone here will be able to help me out.

I was meesing around with PSX settings trying to figure out what emulator with what graphics setting will get me optimal performacne on my little old Optiplex i have setup as an emualtion station. I got far better performance with Duckstation than any other emulator, but it looks like Duckstation doesnt like my XBOX 360 controller, and that makes games unplayable.
So what is the problem?

“Start” is where L3 is (i have to press the left analog in order to press “start”)
R1 is where the XBOX logo button is

D-PAD, left analog, A,B,X,Y are ok.

Dont know about the rest.

Do you know what could be caousing this?

The problem is only when using XBOX 360 controller and Duckstation emulator
When trying out any other controller i have (cheapest NES, SNES USB controllers, Speedlink Strike NX) there is no problem with Duckstation, every button is where it is supossed to be
When using XBOX 360 controller and any other emulator there is no problem with button mapping.

I tried to remap the controller in duckstation setup in “F1 => Applications”, but it doesnt change anything.

I tried to outsmart the Duckstation and remapped the buttons in Batocera with switched “start” with “L3” and “Xbox logo” with “R2”, but i ended up with even bigger mess.

Anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?

I do know there was an issue with duckstation not mapping x-input controllers correctly, but that was purely its inability to recognise L2/R2 triggers as separate entities, not what you’ve described. Could you try switching over the input driver in batocera.conf?

ok, havent tried it before. So now i changed controllers.ps3.enabled=1 to =0 and controllers.xboxdrv.enabled=0 to =1. Is it what i was supposed to do? It havent changed anything. Still same behaviour with all my pads. This is really strange.

Yeah that was it, rip it didn’t work.

Hello. I know this post is old, but I have the same issue and I’m using Batocera 36. The Xbox 360 controller works perfectly on all systems and emulators, but when I use Duckstation, the controller is initially incorrectly mapped. My temporary solution is that every time I want to play, I have to go into the settings and load the Dualshock profile, and immediately everything is perfect.

The problem is that I have to do it every time. It doesn’t matter if I change the controller options in Batocera PSX, it always starts with the wrong configuration and I have to load the profile to play properly.

I hope someone can figure out why this is happening, as any other controller works fine from the beginning.

Sorry for my English

Thank you and regards.
