[Enhancement] D-pad as joystick not persistent #86

Open pgzh opened 5 years ago

pgzh commented 5 years ago

When setting "D-pad as joystick" via the mode button, the setting is lost (off again) after rebooting. Volume, brightness, wifi state etc. are saved. Also, when use D-pad as joystick is ON, the D-pad is recognized as buttons in RetroPie. When it is OFF, the D-pad is recognized as joystick hat. Considering the name it would make sense to have the D-pad being recognized as joystick hat when the setting is ON and not OFF. Please have a look into saving and maybe switching this functionality. Thanks!

Hm I see your point, really the option is "Dpad as buttons" rather than anything else! It doesn't remember this because on a fresh boot it may be confusing that navigation doesn't work. The "hat" input is the default and I want to keep it that way because that is the standard direction pad input

Since the "hat" input didn't work out for Dosbox I actually changed to button mode and reconfigured the controller in ES, so my navigation actually does not work after rebooting until I switch to button mode... I haven't found anything not working with this configuration yet... Please reconsider remembering the setting.

If you open the arduino code in the Arduino IDE and comment/remove this line: https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sword/blob/master/kite-arduino/CS_FIRMWARE/CS_FIRMWARE.ino#L203 it will save the state for you.

To upload the code, you need to set the DIP switches on the CS so that PROG_EN and USB_HUB_PASSTHRU are enabled. Then turn the CS on (it will not boot) and plug in the USB C cable to your PC. If it says unrecognised devices, you will need to plug the CS into a USB HUB and then into your PC (weird, but it works). The Arduino is an "Arduino Leonardo"
