Possible to visualize/test controller inputs?

Unread post by sofakng »

Is it possible to SSH into the MiSTer and press joystick buttons to make sure everything is working?

I’ve built a DaemonBite Arcade Encoder and I want to verify all my buttons are correctly wired, etc.

You can use a test ROM on the SNES core (or any other console core)

You can also connect to the console via serial over USB and see live joystick events while the menu core is running: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... connection. After you connect, interact with a joystick and events will pop up on the console.
