Ps3 Uae

[MickJT]

Hi Guys & Gals,

I'm about to go out, so this'll be short.
I've modified e-uae to suit the PS3 controller. inputdevice.c was the culprit.

Here it is: (Outdated, check below posts for updated ver)

X is fire, Circle is secondary fire, Triangle is 3rd.
Should work on both gameports for 2 player games as well.

Just run with "./ps3uae"

Hope this helps you out, Lernatix. Don't you just love being able to play Amiga games on the Playstation 3? Fantastic stuff.

Edit: Appears you can modify .uaerc to do it too.. I tried that before but I think I missed something. JOY2 not JOY1, heh.
Edit2: Successfully compiled this: http://www.freelists.org/post/uae/euae-tester-needed,20 - I will upload binary later on.
Edit3: uaecvs2 from freelists ml is unstable.

i see no need to edit the source to get the layout right, i managed it with the following setup - this also has exit emulator on the PS button (handy for in full-screen) and whdload-quit on 'select':


input.config=1
input.joymouse_speed_analog=20
input.joymouse_speed_digital=10
input.joymouse_deadzone=33
input.joystick_deadzone=33
input.mouse_speed=100
input.autofire=10

input.1.joystick.0.disabled=0
input.1.joystick.0.axis.0=JOY2_HORIZ.0
input.1.joystick.0.axis.1=JOY2_VERT.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.0=KEY_NP_MUL.0

input.1.joystick.0.button.3=JOY2_CD32_PLAY.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.4=JOY2_UP.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.5=JOY2_RIGHT.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.6=JOY2_DOWN.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.7=JOY2_LEFT.0

input.1.joystick.0.button.10=JOY2_CD32_RWD.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.11=JOY2_CD32_FFW.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.12=JOY2_CD32_YELLOW.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.13=JOY2_CD32_BLUE.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.14=JOY2_CD32_RED.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.15=JOY2_CD32_GREEN.0
input.1.joystick.0.button.16=SPC_QUIT.0




this came in handy for me when setting up:

#1 = SELECT
#2 = L3
#3 = R3
#4 = START
#5 = DPAD UP
#6 = DPAD RIGHT
#7 = DPAD DOWN
#8 = DPAD LEFT
#9 = L2
#10 = R2
#11 = L1
#12 = R1
#13 = Triangle
#14 = Circle
#15 = X
#16 = Square
#17 = PS Button
#18-19 = nothing


my only problem is that i want to map the right analogue stick to the mouse, and L2,R2, to the mouse buttons. However, i've never had joystick-as-mouse working nicely (certainly not like it does on PSPUAE) , and ideally it would be set up that way for the whole of YDL6.1 and not just e-uae.

EDIT: i'm going to ask around about adding the PSP mouse-control code to the e-uae source anyway. Might be worth a shot.

[Lernatix]

Can't wait to try this.

Here's an updated build from the test20080820 folder. I know modifying .uaerc does the trick but it's nice to have it all as default.

Stay tuned, i'm about to upload both GnoStiC's uaecvs versions. They're unstable; Zool doesn't play.

Reference: http://www.freelists.org/post/uae/Wi...EUAE-release,4

uaecvs1: http://www..com/?cuvmxcsi4ax
uaecvs2: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ybbdgl ( stalled)

i found a number of things that crash on gnostics's 2nd version. However, if it has the mouse fix it might be worth using on certain games exclusively, although i think i'm just gonna investigate how to get the mouse working on the analogue stick for everything.


at least something has managed to stop me from playing GTAIV for a bit....

[MickJT]

HungryHorace, some interesting things.

I got the right analog stick working for the mouse. It's modified source again, so it'll be on config 0 (compatibility mode). Select Joystick 0 for Gameport 1. Gameport 0 can be "None" or whatever you like, including Mouse.

The right analog stick, as long as it's being moved in whatever direction, the mouse will move in that direction. If you hold the stick in a direction, the mouse will stop. It's not too bad, because you can maneuver the stick in a way where the mouse will continue to move.

I also set up the D-Pad, up/down to move the mouse up and down. This is a lot better. You can hold a direction and the mouse will continue to move in that direction. However, MOUSE1_RIGHT and MOUSE1_LEFT events don't seem to do a damn thing... so no left/right unfortunately. You can use a combination of analog and d-pad though.

L3 is left-click.
R3 is right-click.

Keep in mind, Gameport 1 joystick is controlling the Gameport 0 mouse. So, no good for Cannon Fodder.

I can change that later on though.

Edit: Off-topic. I also compiled X-Moto 0.2.7 with SDL graphics rendering. It works with -drawlib SDLgfx but it's painfully slow. Ugly mode works OK and it's playable with a small bit of latency.... though, ugly mode is.. ugly.

[Hungry Horace]

err.... nice work but sounds a bit horrid to me! (Cannon Fodder is one of many i will want to play!)

i am thinking more and more this is something best done in Linux itself. (i know before you mentioned recompiling BlueUtils)

http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewt...hp?f=19&t=4380

perhaps this may help, though it looks like the problem wasnt solved all-round

[Hungry Horace]

right, so i decided to give this mouse-malarky a go.

i dont quite understand what you were saying about Cannon Fodder? that uses the normal mouse control so it should work the same as any other no? as long as its controlling the mouse in Amiga port 0, (like every other mouse game) it's fine. I was testing with Lemmings myself as it's a 2 mouse game.

I see what you mean about no left/right on the d-pad. a real shame as that is otherwise quite smooth control. Do you think it's something you could correct in the source code mick?

i'd really like the analogue to control the same way, but at the moment it largely moves in "steps" like you said. its probably just a matter of finding good settings for these:

input.joymouse_speed_analog=20
input.joymouse_speed_digital=10
input.joymouse_deadzone=33
input.joystick_deadzone=33
input.analog_joystick_multiplier=100
input.analog_joystick_offset=0
input.mouse_speed=100

although i confess, i've always avoid these in the past, since i've usaully had access to a proper mouse! I dont really agree that

It's not too bad, because you can maneuver the stick in a way where the mouse will continue to move.

because frankly, i know better analogue control can be done! hell, i even have it on my A1200 with it's PS2 pads! "workarounds" are no good for me... maybe i'm just too much of a perfectionist, but the current control is awful.

anyway, i will keep experimenting, and i hope to have another video of some game in-action up later.


edit: i know these (the stopping thing, the left/right control) were all fixed in PSPUAE, which is based on e-uae, so i've uploaded -

http://pspuae.condor.serverpro3.com/.../inputdevice.c

in case its something that has changed in there which you can spot.

Oh ok, I thought I remembered it using gameport 1's mouse... but it's been over a decade since I played it.

So is it worth the hastle of installing Linux on my PS3 for Amiga Emu?

for joystick games, hell yeah.

I installed the latest YDL when it came out but haven't tried putting any emu's on it yet

(although if i do get Amiga and MAME running i'll probably stop playing PS3 games )

[Hungry Horace]

i uploaded another video of PS3 running WHDload games on e-uae to youtube.

Those interested can search for it

It's only worth it if your Windows-PC isn't connected* to your big-screen (HD)TV or video (HD)projector.

* of course via DVI-HDMI or HDMI-HDMI-cable

rubbish. your PC wont use the PS3 pads wirelessly, and they are the best pads in the world.

Bullsh*t. The features of WinUAE are superior to E-UAE's so I gladly use a (wired) Dualshock 2-controller on my PC.

And the Dualshock 2's R2-Trigger is digital which is better suited for Amiga games.

Other than that the buttons and dpad of Dualshock 2 are identical to the Dualshock 3 (which you can also use wired on PC).

[Hungry Horace]

That's your opinion.

That the wireless pads do not work wireless on Windows is -not- bullsh*t. It's a fact - maybe the driver will come along, but it hasnt yet.

We all know windows / winuae can do no wrong for you john4p (we've been here before) , so we'll have to disagree on this one. The R2/L2 triggers are still operated as digital switched on Linux by the way, so they are identical to using the ones on the PS1/2 pads.

You can use PS3 DS3/Sixaxis Pads on PC's so long as you have a bluetooth dongle or a long enough USB lead.

[MickJT]

I've never gotten the PS3 gamepad working on the PC under 64bit Windows.

Haven't tried any bluetooth method though. Must be new.

Edit: tonyyeb, still seems to me that the wireless pad doesn't work wirelessly in Windows. No way of doing it yet, that I can see. The link you provided is very old. There's a new 32bit actual driver out that cuts a lot of those steps out.

Anyway, new build: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewt...p=26462#p26462

Horace, I don't have Cannon Fodder installed, but do you know how 2 player works? Gameport 0 mouse controls player 1 and Gameport 1 mouse controls player 2? Is that right? I'm thinking I can just add the exact same changes for port 0 (even though mouse movement is s***house) and then 2 player will be playable (sort of) with 2 controllers. I notice that E-UAE only has one "Mouse" option under Gameports. I wonder how that works if you plugged in 2 mice.

Not tried it myself yet as I dont have a bluetooth dongle.
