USB controller board combo

Unread post by ByHT »

I bought one combo USB controller card (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B078W5JQ1Q/),
for two players. In Mister they show as Joystick ID. I've tried "disable_usb_merge=1" in mister.ini , without success.

Think RetroPi has some settings in "usbhid.config", where you can set "options usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe001:0x00000040" .
Do Mister have some similar settings?

I made it on my Arduino Pro Micro this morning :D, now I have 4 joysticks (/dev/input/js0, /dev/input/js1...). You just need to modify ''u-boot.txt'' file on your SD Card:

Code: Select all

v=loglevel=4 usbhid.jspoll=1 xpad.cpoll=1 usbhid.quirks=0x2341:0x8037:0x040
PS: 0x2341:0x8037 is the Vendor ID and the Product ID of my Arduino Pro Micro, you must replace it with your controller IDs.

Hi GromRGB, need some help with 2 player setup on Mister FPGA wired inside my cabinet.
I have 2 Arduino Pro Micro cards each connected to 7 PB + joystick and common F12 PB.
both Pro Micro running the same program (keyboard decoder). each Arduino Pro Micro connected to usb hub with wifi dongle and keyboard receiver.
The thing is that both of them are acting as player 1.
please advise.

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't see notifications before.

Do you program different keypads on joystick 1 and 2 ?
Contrary to joysticks, I think that the same keypad on different keyboards act as only one action for one user.
