Wireless Playstation3 Controller not found

[CypherXG]

Hi In the first Version of the SDL1 Version my PS3 Controller was found wenn i start amiberry. The Sixad programm shows the Controller wenn Amiberry start. In the new Version my Controller was not found and not shown as PS3 Controller in the Input Panel. Pls. Can u fix this.

Are you loading from RetroPie etc?

Which version are you now trying? And what shows in the input panel?

There is a separate branch (fork) with a whole load of new controller options.

I can be 100% sure that PS3 pads will work because I have one myself.

Loading the 2.5beta from here. Input Panel shows all the other things like DPad as ... etc. but no PS3 Controller Link to your Fork? Ok found your Version https://github.com/HoraceAndTheSpider/amiberry/tree/1e696b223f46fcd8aebfffdf623c9d5a3b2548ef

Ok. PS3 (Shawan) Controller found. But DPad is not working. Left and right analog stick is working for directions. Buttons like X, Circle, Square, Triangle are not working for fire etc. Select is the Fire Button? I can not configurate the buttons.

When i watch the Button in Jtest: DUp is Button 4 DDown is Button 6 DLeft is Button 7 DRight is Button 5 Select is Button 0 Start is Button 3 Cross is Button 14 Circle is Button 13 Triangle is Button 12 Square is Button 15 L1 is Button 10 L2 is Button 8 R1 is Button 11 R2 is Button 9 LAnalog knob is Button 1 RAnalog knob is Button 2

I am using a Shawan PS3 Controller. I never had issues before with the other Version from Midwan. the only problem in the other Versions are that the CD32 Button Config was not correct. The normal Joystick is working perfectly.

Have you set up a retroarch Config file?

Select being The fire button is “default” behaviour for PS3 pads due to being button zero; this means the PS3 remapping is not applied.

I did ask in the first reply if you were using RetroPie but you did not answer.

By this I would guess that you are not but need to create a file for it, or you need to point the controllers path to the correct location.

The previous build has PS3 “fixes” hard coded ... very bad practice which has been removed, but does mean you need to set this up first.

Setup done wih Retroarch. My Config is this in /Retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/SHANWANPS3GamePad.cfg

input_device = "SHANWAN PS3 GamePad" input_driver = "udev" input_r_y_plus_axis = "+3" input_l3_btn = "1" input_r_x_minus_axis = "-2" input_l_btn = "10" input_load_state_btn = "10" input_start_btn = "3" input_exit_emulator_btn = "3" input_l_y_minus_axis = "-1" input_up_btn = "4" input_r_y_minus_axis = "-3" input_a_btn = "14" input_b_btn = "15" input_reset_btn = "15" input_down_btn = "6" input_l_x_plus_axis = "+0" input_l_y_plus_axis = "+1" input_r_btn = "11" input_save_state_btn = "11" input_r2_btn = "9" input_r3_btn = "2" input_right_btn = "5" input_state_slot_increase_btn = "5" input_x_btn = "13" input_menu_toggle_btn = "13" input_select_btn = "0" input_enable_hotkey_btn = "0" input_l_x_minus_axis = "-0" input_y_btn = "12" input_left_btn = "7" input_state_slot_decrease_btn = "7" input_r_x_plus_axis = "+2" input_l2_btn = "8"

Same.

Can u pls upload your config for compare or testing?

[HoraceAndTheSpider]

You should only need to go to the 'Paths' panel and set thecontrollers line to the following

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

You will need to enter emulation, exit to the gui, exit amiberry and reload.... (for now at least)

This should allow it to pick up the above details from the file you have.

Sry. Doesn't work by me. Path to the config was set. Controller was found....ok The Problem was, that the Buttons that i try to assign are wrong or did not work. So when i try to assign for example DPad Up with Joy2 Up than for example Start Button has the up assign. I test all possibilities but many commands are not recognized. Left Trigger is greyed out, right Trigger i can assign ?

I think there are some difference between an org. PS3 Controller and my Shawan PS3 Controller.

[HoraceAndTheSpider]

The difference between the two controller types does not matter.

You say “path to the Config was set” ... can you show screenshots or photo please.

You will not need to assign anything manually to use normal joystick controls.

[HoraceAndTheSpider]

Reading you above two posts - if the custom controls page shows “HotKey” and is greyed out on your “select” button the. The Config file is probably being read.

You would also see, by clicking “HotKey” <> that menu is not n “circle” (button 13?)

It looks like your retroarch Config file is set up very unusually.

For example, retroarch “b” button is normally X on a PS pad... this would be “red” or “fire” on the Amiga

Your setup has retroarch b = button 15 = Square button (going by your jtest) ... this is not the normal way to set this up? Did you create this manually or create in RetroPie?

Here you see some Pics: My PS3 Controller:

http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/v6ul7p2c_jpg.htm

My Config for the Controller. I moved this now to the uae4arm directory. http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/umscjr4y_jpg.htm

The Path Config Panel http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/n9nhul2y_jpg.htm

You see the Custom Control Panel with the greyed out Fields http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/bhnh423d_jpg.htm

Here you see that the left trigger works perfectly http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/b3n2ryhd_jpg.htm

when i press the Dpad nothing happend http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/t83obypn_jpg.htm Select is the Fire button http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/jtxwemxu_jpg.htm

When i assign a Button the Wrong button was assigned Example Triangle http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/rhnfh98l_jpg.htm Pressed Triangle doesn't work http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/4adn8flm_jpg.htm The right Trigger has the command http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/zatm9rs2_jpg.htm

I hope i can help you with this pictures

[HoraceAndTheSpider]

Yes these help thank you.

You need to set this:

Path Config Panel http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4904/n9nhul2y_jpg.htm

The third box "Controller files" needs to be set to : /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/

Then:

• Enter emulation
• Return to the gui
• Exit amiberry
• Reload Amiberry.... (for now at least)

On the 'custom panel' you have hopefully helped find somethign else that needs fixing though :)

[CypherXG]

When i do this it's the same.

[HoraceAndTheSpider]

I have just realised. Your config file is called SHANWANPS3GamePad.cfg but your device is registered as PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller

Please try creating a copy of the .cfg file and renaming to PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller.cfg

I assume you are not setting this up in RetroPie, but some other form of RetroArch ? I need to know this in order to establish why your pad is set up this way.

[CypherXG]

Oha.....i renamed it and it's working... :-) All buttons are working. No Errors.....and the path was not the Retroarch Path.....
