XBOX 360 Controller in Reicast (Dreamcast)

[ramdor]

Hi guys.

I followed HerbFargus guide on GitHum to automatically configure my wireless XBOX 360 controllers. All 4 controllers work great everywhere (emulationstation + all other emulatores) but reicast (dreamcast) emulator. I plugged in a logitech usb controller and that worked fine in Reicast. However, Reicast doesn’t seem to recognize the XBOX controllers. Do I have to do something special for Reicast for my XBOX controllers to work.

Pi Model: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
Retropie version: 3.3

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply but can you be more specific as to what i need to do?

Is there something on the GITHUB page i missed?

I believe my hex values match what you have in the configs you gave in the other thread.

Intructions are on the very bottom of that page. You’ll need to edit /home/pi/.reicast/emu.cfg

When I ran through the setup, the config had the correct hex values, but didn’t work. Manually typing them in fixed it for some reason. I have no idea why.

I have done most of my work through my computer over the network (samba-shares) because my Linux knowledge is non-existent. I can find \\RETROPIE\configs\dreamcast\emu.cfg. Is that folder the same as ‘/home/pi/.reicast/emu.cfg’? This is what my \\RETROPIE\configs\dreamcast\emu.cfg looks like:

[audio]
backend = oss
disable = 0

[config]
Debug.SerialConsoleEnabled = 0
Dreamcast.Broadcast = 4
Dreamcast.Cable = 3

Dynarec.idleskip = 1

joystick_device_id = -1

[reios]
ElfFile =

OpenGlChecks = 0

I tried typing /home/pi/.reicast/emu.cfg into my raspberry terminal but i get a permisson denied error.

Sorry i’m noob.
Thanks for the help.

Here are my config folders if this helps.

Those files don’t really look right to me. Take a look at this thread where a few people were having the same problem, including me.

I had another look at that page and some progress was made. Now my wireless xbox 360 controller connect as player 2 (indicated by light on controller) works except for the left and right trigger buttons. However, it is only player 2 that works; no others. I think it might be because my emu.cfg inputs are jacked:

[input]
evdev_device_id_1 = 5
evdev_device_id_2 = 6
evdev_device_id_3 = 7
evdev_device_id_4 = -1
evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver)#2.cfg
evdev_mapping_2 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver)#3.cfg
evdev_mapping_3 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver)#4.cfg
joystick_device_id = -1

Doesn’t even seem like controller 1 is even listed here. I tried to change something in this emu.cfg file but when i boot it just reverts back to original and all changes that were made disappear.

So now my question is 1)How can i get my left and right back trigger buttons to work on the one working controller. 2)How can i get controllers connected as players 1,3,4 to work?

Thank you again for your help. You have been great so far.
