4in1 Joystick

Hi jj0 thanks for the reply.

testjoys.txt gives me this

03000000790000001c18000001010000, Android Gamepad


I removed all lines from gamecontrollerdb.txt except the following  (E:\Carousel_Games\Options\Controllers)

# Linux
03000000591c00002400000010010000,Retro Games LTD THEC64 MS Joystick,a:b4,b:b5,back:b6,lefttrigger:b0,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,righttrigger:b1,start:b7,x:b3,y:b2,platform:Linux,

my c64 joystick worked as expected and again the + and - buttons on other joystick acted as fire buttons.

I then changed the line to this

# Linux
03000000591c00002400000010010000,Retro Games LTD THECe64 MS Joystick,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,platform:Linux,

As expected all that worked on the c64 joystick was movement but no buttons, however the + and - buttons on other joystick still showed signs of being fire buttons.

I then booted stock firmware and ran anykey-64 and the joystick shows + and - as joystick fire button 1, the only other button that registers is the home button which shows up as a shift and comma  combo (less than).

So I guess something else is going on and it just wont work full stop.

If its any help when plugging the joystick into my pc with the windows gamecontroller test window up it will read is as a pro controller for a second then display Controller (xbox 360 for windows) and the joystick will move the cross hair on the axes.

SDL2 gamepad tool shows the guid as 030000005e0400008e02000000007801 (which is different to what the C64 gave me)

If i press + and - on the joystick for 5 seconds it changes its ID to PS3/PC gamepad and the joystick now move that HAT not the axes

SDL2 gamepad tool shows the guid as 03000000632500007505000000000000

pressing + and - for 5 seconds changes from D_input to X-input (but does not seem to make a difference when pressed when plugged into thec64)

not sure what thec64 reading as either a pro controller or a Controller (xbox 360 for windows) or even a PS3/PC gamepad or something completely different.

looks like I'll have to look for another similar controller that works

Are you only editing THEC64 Joystick line, you need a new line for the 4 in 1 joystick like.. `03000000790000001c18000001010000, Android Gamepad,a:b4,b:b5,back:b6,lefttrigger:b0,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,righttrigger:b1,start:b7,x:b3,y:b2,platform:Linux,`

If you only have THEC64 Joystick line in the gamecontrollerdb.txt file then thats the only one that will work...?

If the joystick has different modes on it to make it act differently then that maybe why it dose not work, I have a Arcade stick like that that works on the PS2, XBOX and PC and has a mode on it that changes the stick from digital to Analog so dose not work with with THEC64, it see it but it just does not work with it, it acts like a Xbox Original controller on the PC and they do not work on THEC64, I have tried the Xbox controllers too from my Xbox Original, I bought a Xbox to USB PC Adapter. 

Cool, glad you like it..
