Ability to create 4 working virtual controllers? #10

Closed Lintence01 closed 5 years ago

Lintence01 commented 5 years ago

I have 2 dual x arcade sticks and cannot figure out if this is possible. Was able to create 4 virtual controllers by messing around with some numbers in the mapping file but not sure if there is an actual functioning way of doing this.

Never mind got it working, was just a bit of a mess up on my part.

I'm actually curious how you got this setup working. I've never tried it with 2 XArcade sticks. Did you have to change the keyboard mappings on one of the XArcade devices?

Lintence01 commented 5 years ago

Yes remapped all buttons and it works like a charm. Only problem I have now is finding a 1 button solution to disable the virtual controllers.

The app is built around a REST api, so pretty much anything can control it.

Here's an example using powershell:

# Turn off
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:32123/api/keyboard/stop
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:32123/api/controller/stop

# Turn On
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:32123/api/keyboard/start
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:32123/api/controller/start

Also, I haven't had the chance to work on it, but the ability to turn the software on / off via your controller is planned: https://github.com/mikew/xarcade-xinput/issues/9

Anyway you can elaborate on how you got 4 players working? I thought I could just add two more configurations and replace 0 and 1 with 2 and 3, but the program won't let me make that profile active. Thanks - Cory

@cor094 That means the formatting of that profile is incorrect. You'll probably see a little x icon in the line numbers on the left where the issue is.

Feel free to copy/paste the profile here, I'll gladly fix it up and post it back.

Thank you very much for your response and offer to help! Hovering over the X icon helped me figure out what it was. I was missing a comma at the end of controller 2. It is now working! Thanks again. This program is great, has allowed me to play Street Fighter V, MKX, and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 (with 4 players) on my arcade cabinet. Thanks!
