. Would love to hear more about other people's setups. I have been trying to play Decent so that's my test game... But seeing as the CH Flightstick Pro was built for DOS gaming my fingers are crossed that it will work. Also I am not sure if I should be using 2 sticks or 2 joysticks in the Mister core config.. I have tried both but no success..Try different games. Each game has its own way of configuring the joystick and you have to figure out what that is. I have successfully used my Thrustmaster T. Flight Hotas 4 with Wing Commander, and I think I have to hit Ctrl-J at the first screen where it says Start a Campaign, Continue a Campaign, etc. to get it to use the joystick. I also used the MiSTer keyboard to button mapping feature to use all of the other many buttons on the Thrustmaster. When I press the buttons, it sends keystrokes to the game.Kuro Houou wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 1:22 am I ordered a CH Flightstick Pro (will have to use a gameport to usb adapter), hoping that will help as my "new" joysticks don't work. Thrustmaster T.16000. Understand I would never get all the buttons or axis.. but was hoping at least X/Y and 4 buttons would work
maybe I should look for joysticks with good linux support first...Code: Select all
function JoystickPosition(axisnum : byte) : word;
var count : word;
begin
asm
mov word ptr count, 0
cli { Disable interrupts so they don't interfere with timing }
mov dx, JOYSTICKPORT { Write dummy byte to joystick port }
out dx, al
@joystickloop:
inc count { Add one to count }
cmp count, $FFFF { Check for time out }
je @done
in al, dx { Get joystick port value }
and al, axisnum { Test the appropriate bit }
jne @joystickloop
@done:
sti { Enable interrupts again }
end;
JoystickPosition := count;
end;
Wait...I missed that trick. Do you mean move the joystick (in my case analog stick on Dusalshock) after the core reset, or MiSTer cold boot in general?

I discussed this behavior with Kitrinx quite a while ago, and she quickly pointed me at the right bits of code to make the joystick always appear.akeley wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 7:54 pmWait...I missed that trick.

I really would love to be able to use it in more PC games, but so far it's really hit and miss, with more of the latter. Been pondering it in Wing Commander yesterday, for example, the mice works (sort of, it's kinda floaty) but the joystick doesn't. Will try this method right now...

Try it and see. See my post above about how to get it to work with Wing Commander. I would say, "yeah, it should work" but it may not due to not being recognized at the driver level on the Linux side. This was the case with my Logitech G25 wheel until it was added to the Linux Kernel.

Just a note to self for future reference and to anyone with a Playstation PS3/PS4 Thrustmaster Hotas 4 joystick, in order to get the throttle and other extra axes to work, hold down the PS, Share and Options button when plugging in the USB cable. The light will be green instead of red. Now I can play all my favorite games and the throttle will work. 
Edit: Just spent some time with it, and this joystick is absolutely brilliant for the Playstation Core, and most likely AO486 which I haven't tested yet. I played Wing Commander IV and it was made for this game. Also, I can finally play Moto Racer and control it much more precisely and not end up in last place all the time when racing. I just wish all the Playstation games worked in analog mode. Many that should don't, such as Star Wars Rebel Assault I and II, but I can play those in AO486.
