1 year ago Ok so I figured what my problem was. I failed to realize that in system-wide mode I need to create my gendev and profiles under /etc/xdg/moltengamepad. I also failed to realize that I needed to load my profile, either through a command or through moltengamepad.cfg.
The problem I'm having now is that parsec does not process the events correctly. If I go on gamepad-tester.com from my linux laptop I can see my keyboard acting correctly as an xbox360 gamepad. If I go on that website through parsec on my windows computer, then the events are not being processed correctly:
- It does not hold the stick - it sends a stick at max position signal and then dies right after.
- Parsec does not get the right signal, it stays stuck on positive or negative, e.g. If I press w (which is on left_y-) then I will see -max in the value, then if I press s (which is on left_y+) I will still see -max in the value being processed. Parsec is not happy with the way events are being sent. I'm going to see if there's any driver parameters that can help with that. This seems like a parsec issue and now my next stop is the parsec discord.
Here's my updated gendev:

I spent upwards of 8 hours today trying to configure moltengamepad. I followed all the documentation and reached a stalemate before opening this issue. To make my gendev I used this: https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad/blob/master/documentation/gendev.md To make my profile I used this: https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad/blob/master/documentation/profiles.md
To reach my intended goal I inspired myself from this post: https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad/issues/53
I'm trying to map keyboard keys to gamepad buttons and mouse movement to the joystick. Yes I am aware now that moltengamepad doesn't support mouse to joystick so I abandonned that.
I painstakingly mapped most of the events of my keyboard so that I could still use my keyboard alongside emulating a gamepad.
Here's my gendev:
My profile is just a test profile with a few useful things like press A (on the gamepad), press Enter, press CTRL and press C.
When I launch moltengamepad it complains about not being able to change permissions and then it starts spamming Enter. What happens is that 1. I can't see any output from moltengamepad in the console because it spams Enter. 2. I have to reboot my computer because that effectively locks up my keyboard. Edit: This seems to have been caused by my own negligence, I was running moltengamepad in the background as a service and also trying to run it from the command-line at the same time.
Here's my udev rules to expose both mouse and keyboard:
Interestingly enough the keyboard was exposed for my normal user this way but not the mouse, even though the hex codes are correct. (Double and triple checked)
