jstest: command not found

[ezeitgeist]

I am trying to re-config my specific emulators and keep running into some snags. Specifically, I have 2 joypads setup on an arcade style space and Player 2 (right side) registers as Player 1 and I am trying to switch them.

I tried to run:
jstest /dev/input/js0

but got a “jstest: command not found” response.

Tried with /js1 and got same response. Am I missing something?

I don’t know if it will solve the problem of switching the controllers (both joystick and 6-buttons are the same (1 for each) “DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick” device, but at the least it would get me a step closer to figuring out what is going on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you don’t have jstest installed. It’s in the Debian “joystick” package.

(1) How do I install it?

(2) Any advice on switching P1 and P2 in games (either universally or individually)?

2.: switch the usb port or swap hands?

Thank you! I swear I tried switching the USB multiple times, to no avail, but of course, when you type it and I try, it works.

Much appreciated!
