Damn

It doesn’t like the +tive and -tive axis lines and when i set the axes to mouse axes, it shows some promising lines in the console before loading kodi but doesn’t give me a mouse pointer.

Also none of the controller buttons work, i’m wondering if i need to sort out a usb keyboard to go in and turn on the mouse pointer in kodi settings to make this work.

You know, the ps3 product/vendor codes might be what’s wrong with my setup – i recall that i just copied your file and changed the buttons to suit.

It never occurred to me that i’d have to change the ids too :$

Let’s see if i can select +tive and -tive axis and map them to kbd keys

This looked so easy on paper…

I’m trying to set up a buffalo 8 axis snes style pad in kodi using the following but nothing works.

# SNES Pad mapper file for Kodi

# Navigation
# D-pad to navigate; X to select and circle to go to previous menu
axis vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=-1 target=kbd button="up"
axis vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=-0 target=kbd button="right"
axis vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=1 target=kbd button="down"
axis vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=0 target=kbd button="left"

button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=1 target=kbd button="enter"
button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=0 target=kbd button="esc"

# Triangle to bring up conextual menu
button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=2 target=kbd button="c"

# Play Media
# R1 to play/pause and L1 to stop
button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=4 target=kbd button="space"
button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=5 target=kbd button="x"

# Exit Kodi by pressing Select and Start
button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=6 target=kbd button="leftctrl"
button vendor=0x054c product=0x0268 src=7 target=kbd button="end"

FWIW when i run jstest, i have names for my joypad buttons like ‘trigger’ or ‘thumbbtn’. Should i be using these or just the numbers as displayed in the testing lines at the bottom?

What seems to be causing the problem is that the d-pad shows as an x and y axis, whereas it’d be a lot easier if it showed as 4 separate buttons.
