Controls can't be loaded, device not recognized. #32

Closed JosephLGuernsey closed 2 weeks ago

JosephLGuernsey commented 2 weeks ago

I download and followed the install instructions for Rocknix. when i launch from ports menu it look to be loading then says, "Controls can't be loaded, device not recognized. Please report for additional support." I am using RBG30 with Rocknix OS (ROCKNIX-RK3566.aarch64-20240612.img) Is there a way to fix this? ThemesMaster Message

Could you confirm the /dev/input/ you're having for pad's control and run evtest against it?

JosephLGuernsey commented 2 weeks ago

Sorry I'm not sure how to do that. I did find the /dev/input/ folder. It has some files and a folder called by-path in it.

I think I know why it's not working from another issue reported. I need to check how to properly fix it in the long run, in the mean time you can try to bypass it by using manual settings by creating a "paramcontrols.txt" file within ThemeMaster's folder with the following content: back_key = 314; start_key = 315; a_key = 305; b_key = 304; x_key = 307; y_key = 308; up_key = 544; down_key = 545; left_key = 546; right_key = 547; l1_key = 310; l2_key = 312; r1_key = 311; r2_key = 313; inputstr = /dev/input/by-path/platform-rocknix-singleadc-joypad-event-joystick;

The "paramcontrols.txt" file did bypass the issue, It got me to the menu. The controls on the handheld would not work. I was able to get through the menus with a Bluetooth mouse. Happy to report I have themes now. Thank you for your help and awesome app!

@JosephLGuernsey Could you confirm the list of input files you have under /dev/input/by-path/ ?

JosephLGuernsey commented 2 weeks ago

Yes here you go, let me know if you need anything else. Also this was a fresh install of Rocknix if that matters.

Thanks, they've changed input file name on latest ROCKNIX release which is why ThemeMaster is no longer recognising it. However based on the device you're using and the input file name I don't understand why you don't have controls when using the paramcontrols file...
