SAM fails to detect controller during ini_settings.sh #205

Closed musso-joseph closed 2 years ago

musso-joseph commented 2 years ago

I booted the ini_settings script from the Scripts menu from the MiSTer main menu, however when trying to change the MiSTer font SAM kicked in. It seems like SAM doesn't detect controller input while in the ini_settings GUI. I don't know if this is also the case for other scripts, as I haven't tried to reproduce with them yet.

That's good to know. SAM should have detected your keyboard. Can you post output of ps aux | grep py ?

I'm having trouble reproducing the issue. The only change is that my keyboard is on longer connected. When the issue occurred the first time, a keyboard was connected but I was using a controller. Do you think the issue is that SAM was only "paying attention" to the connected keyboard, and activated when the keyboard was idle - despite my controller inputs?

The issue might be that SAM unfortunately can't detect dpad pushes, only button pushes. So maybe you were just browsing with the dpad for a minute? (That's the default gametimer before Sam starts)

That's definitely it - I was only moving the d-pad up and down while trying to pick a font.
