8Bitdo ZERO GamePad not detected

[Foul]

hi !

I just connected my 8Bitdo Zero Gamepad on my Linux PC.
Under FS-UAE, directions are good but buttons are not effective...



i started fs-uae-launcher to manually configure them... but nothing appear in the windows...

Maybe the bluetooth connection ?



ps : pad configured as a joystick... not keyboard... and well detected on Linux : 8Bitdo Zero GamePad (/dev/input/js0)

Huh, strange, what is the output if you run

fs-uae-device-helper --list

?

[Foul]

foul@FoulDistrib:~$ fs-uae-device-helper --list
# fs-uae-device-helper 2.9.4dev #
## keyboards ##
K: Keyboard
## mice ##
M: Mouse
## joysticks ##
# SDL_NumJoysticks(): 0
## end ##
foul@FoulDistrib:~$

and my pad is connected :



fs-uae-launcher : log attached

Hmm, but the D-Pad works in FS-UAE... So FS-UAE can see the joystick? Can you upload fs-uae.log.txt?

[Foul]

FS-UAE don't see the joy... but when launching Deluxe Galaga for exemple.. i can navigate thru menu but not press button...

[FrodeSolheim]

Yes, log confirms that the device is not seen by FS-UAE. I assume then that navigation works because the D-PAD sends keyboard cursor events and not joystick events... ?

but the pad is detected as joystick under Linux... cf upper screen..
So how can fs-uae correctly detect it ?

The Pad is now detected in fs-uae/launcher but must remap button...

Pad working perfect as configured as Windows joystick.. not android (default one..)

where is save the configured file ?

Wow, I've tried and failed to get a bluetooth controller to work with Linux (Mint) in the recent past.

When you say it's configured as a "Windows Joystick" do you mean XInput or DirectInput?

[Foul]

no sure.. how to make the difference beteween XInput or DirectInput ?

Apparently both works :
