Generic PC Controller triggers D-Pad on Max X/Y Range #226

Closed mririgoyen closed 2 years ago

mririgoyen commented 2 years ago

When utilizing the generic PC controller, if I set up my configuration to watch up/down/left/right and the x/y axis, the D-Pad indicators are triggered with the x/y axis are push to max range.

<button name="up" image="D-down-up.png" height="17" width="14" y="60" x="30"/>
<button name="down" image="D-down-up.png" height="17" width="14" y="90" x="30"/>
<button name="left" image="D-left-right.png" height="14" width="17" y="76" x="14"/>
<button name="right" image="D-left-right.png" height="14" width="17" y="76" x="43"/>

<stick xname="x" yname="y" image="joystick2.png" x="94" y="31" width="50" height="50" xrange="30" yrange="30" yreverse="true" />

If there is a configuration option to prevent this I have missed, I apologize and would love to see documentation updated to capture this case.

What type of controller are you using?

mririgoyen commented 2 years ago

A generic USB N64 controller. When opening the Game Controller settings in Windows, the POV (D-Pad) keys operate separately from the analog stick in the preview window there (meaning the issue only presents itself within RetroSpy).

zoggins commented 2 years ago

Do the up/down/left/right keys work correctly by themselves in RetroSpy?

mririgoyen commented 2 years ago

Yep, I can press any of the D-Pad buttons and they show fine. The analog stick also registers fine. It's only when the analog stick is push to the max/min of a specific axis that it lights up the D-Pad button as well for some reason.

zoggins commented 2 years ago

And you are using “PC Generic Gamepad” from the drop down? I think I might see the problem.

Yes, that is correct.

What controller are you using?

mririgoyen commented 2 years ago

It is a Retro Power controller from this pack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07491YH2R/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

What do the buttons and sticks do in the Skin Helper skin under PC generic Gamepad

mririgoyen commented 2 years ago

The Dpad only lights up the pad buttons. The analog stick moves the analog bars, however when the analog stick is maxed out in a direction, it also lights up the same Dpad direction.

https://github.com/retrospy/RetroSpy/releases/tag/v5.0.4 should solve your problem. Let me know if it works.

mririgoyen commented 2 years ago

That did it! Thanks so much for the help and quick turnaround. Your work is much appreciated! 😄
