Sorry this happened to you. This is likely something I've done wrong on my part. I'll double-check it soon.
I've confirmed this problem on my setup. The problem is due to the dkms.conf
file (which is really just a shell file) referencing a variable before it was defined.
FYI: You can remove the spurious dkms tree with sudo dkms remove -m '-dkms' -v 'v1.12'
. Use dkms status
to verify this worked.
I'll push a new release with the fix momentarily.
See release v1.13 for the fixed version. Hope this helps! Reopen if it doesn't. Open a new issue if there's some other problem. Thanks!
Hi Emily,
Thanks very much for helping so quickly! I'm sure what you've done will have fixed it for me. I spent ages trying to get a SNES online controller to connect last night - I could get it to connect with bluetooth after much disconnecting and reconnecting, but not usb. In retroarch, with usb, the controller would appear as a device at times - if I used udev as the input driver - but the buttons were unresponsive. I could get it to work if I used bluetooth and stopped the joycond service
Best regards, Kevin.

Hopefully this module will give more reliable results, if that is the problem.
If it does, feel free to update.
Yes - haven’t had any problems using the controller and pairing it since I installed this module.
Thanks!

I reread the note from earlier, and I believe what's happening is that the kernel module probably works fine in either case, but since mine uses slightly different device names and input orderings than the hid-nintendo-nso
version, RetroArch cannot automatically configure it.
When RetroArch fails to configure a controller automatically, it seems to connect but doesn't do anything with the inputs. It appears in such a case as if the controller does not work. It is unfortunately inevitable that you will have to manually configure SNES inputs with hid-nx
yourself in RetroArch. I had to move things around for the sake of consistency when adding new controllers. (FWIW, this is mentioned in the README.)
You can rule out a kernel module issue by using evtest
or jstest
on the command line against the device and see its inputs there.
Hi, I just followed the build instructions on ubuntu with dkms. When I do the stage of adding the dkms module like so:
$ sudo dkms add .
In the cloned directory.I get a link called '-dkms-v1.12' in /usr/src. And the DKMS tree gets -dkms-v1.12 added as well. Which is difficult to get rid of as well as not building - because the build command wants '/usr/src/hid-nx-1.12'. Is it something I've done? Or could there be an error in the repo somewhere? Thanks.
