USB gamepad controller mapping DPad is fully possible

visko83 commented 1 year ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

[X] I searched the existing issues and did not find anything similar.

Current Behavior

I have a simple USB gamepad controller (NES controller). In AntiMicroX's Controller mapping I am unable to assign the DPad buttons. For a DPad button in the application, only an Axis can be set, but the position is ignored. I can only assign: DPad Down as Axis 1 DPad Right as Axis 2 for DPad Up/Left I can not assign the controller's DPad Up/Left button.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to assign axis with its position: DPad Up - Axis 2: -32768 DPad Down - Axis 2: 32767 DPad Left - Axis 1: -32768 DPad Right - Axis 1: 32767

Steps To Reproduce

With an USB gamepad controller (like https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Compatible-Raspberry-Retropie-Emulator/dp/B0BLYWHBH8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=usb+gamepad+controller&qid=1688206451&sr=8-1 )

click on Controller Mapping (bottom left)
scroll down to DPad section, start with DPad Up
click DPad Up on the controller -> nothing happens (last axis event is recognised as Axis 2: -32768)
(you automatically get to the DPad Left cell) click DPad Left on the controller -> nothing happens (last axis event is recognised as Axis 1: -32768)
(you automatically get to the DPad Down cell) click DPad Down on the controller -> recognised as Axis 2 (last axis event is recognised as Axis 2: 32767)
(you automatically get to the DPad Right cell) click DPad Right on the controller -> recognised as Axis 1 (last axis event is recognised as Axis 1: 32767)

You use outdated version (over a year old)
Please update your app.

DPad Down as Axis 1 DPad Right as Axis 2

Does it mean, that Right and Down button presses are not detected at all?
Are they detected in the window Options->Properties?
How are DPad button presses detected in that window?

visko-sc commented 10 months ago

The button presses are detected because in Controller Mapping there's a clear difference when I press e.g. DPad Left/Right (Axis 1: -32768/32767). But in Options->Properties there's no indication for DPad Left/DPad Up button presses - only DPad Right / Down are detected (it aligns with the bug's description).

I was curios if anything is different on Windows 11 and yes: Controller Properties does recognize all DPad buttons (12 - Up, 13 - Down, 14 - Left, 15 - Right). But Controller Mapping is still the same, the axes are slightly different (Axis 4 for horizontal, Axis 5 for vertical axis). But It is still not possible to map DPad left / DPad up (Axis 4: -32768 / Axis 5: -32768), it is only possible to assign DPad right / down (Axis 4: 32767, Axis 5: 32767).

Different detection on Win 11 and other systems may be caused by bug/another implementation in underlying SDL library which is uded by AntiMicroX.
