Open 5a796d opened 2 weeks ago

please add support for Densha de Go! Two-Handle Controller (SLPH-00051)

What's the use case? To use with emulators? To use with the PC version of the game? I do have a custom firmware that support the ddgo device but as it's a very custom output map, I'm not going to merge it into the main code...

It would be nice to be able to use it for PC gaming. densha de go 1-2-3 I use them on playstation

sonik-br commented 2 weeks ago

What would be "pc gaming"? The ddgo controller outputs in a very specific way. IE: each handle position can send one or more button press. Check this out https://marcriera.github.io/ddgo-controller-docs/controllers/classic/tech/

I mean train simulators for PC. I understand, it's rather complicated, never mind, I'll make another adapter. It was just to have one that is compatible with all psx devices

sonik-br commented 2 weeks ago

I have a firmware that outputs as a PS2 Two Handle controller. Not much useful as the ps2 game do support ps1 train controllers. I can also code a firmware that just outputs the digital buttons as a generic usb gamepad. You would need a way to map it and use with train simulators on pc. That would work?

I have no idea how it would work, I only know that I saw it done on a video on YouTube, it used the PS1 controller with the PC .

and newpsxlib seems to implement it

sonik-br commented 2 weeks ago

The densha de go controller works just as a ps1 digital gamepad. The difference is that it outputs the handle position as buttons. I can change the code for you.

5a796d commented 2 weeks ago

if you need to change it all the time to be able to use other controllers, don't change the code, I repeat, it was to have an adapter that works with all controllers.

5a796d commented 2 weeks ago

thanks anyway.

I will soon try the adapter with negcon, hoping it doesn't have the central dead zone like with the adapters on sale

Ok. The big problem is with how the dpad works. Dpad data on a USB gamepad can't have opposing directions pressed at the same time. ie: can't press left and right at the same time. The DDGO controller does that! I would need to send the dpad as four individual buttons. Still need to figure out a good way to do this. And this is also required to support dance mats.

If you implement it in the future it will be welcomed :)

in the meantime I tried it with negcon, FANTASTIC!

Thanks so much for the adapter!
