Mapping joystick / joypad [Xbox 360 specific]

[DamienD]

<sigh>

If only I could map my Xbox 360 wireless controllers to a CD32 pad configuration successfully...

This process is sooooo difficult and not very intuitive at all; spent the past half-an-hour without 100% success (can get 70% of buttons / movement set but not everything)

[Toni Wilen]

Game Ports, select custom <something>, CD32 pad, remap/test. Remap again. Do something with the pad. It can't get (much) more easier or intuitive.

[DamienD]

Ok, easier when you know how...

I was previously selecting "Inputs" --> "Configuration #1" and then trying to "Remap".

One slight issue still though, with my Xbox 360 controller I've set / can use the "Hat Switch (X) & (Y)" but how do I set the "X Axis" & "Y Axis" also?

[DamienD]

Phew, finally got there:



I wouldn't say it was simple Toni; I did as you mentioned in order to get "Hat Switch (X)" & Hat Switch (Y)" setup but no matter what I tried couldn't get "X Axis" & "Y Axis" incorporated also...

In the end I had to:

a) Start with a blank config, set "Hat Switch (X)" & Hat Switch (Y)", plus all "CD32 buttons" and then save as "001.uae".
b) Start with a blank config again, set "X Axis" & "Y Axis" and then save as "002.uae".
c) Copy the relevant entries out of "joyportcustom0=" in "002.uae" and paste at the end of "joyportcustom0=" "001.uae".

So for anyone else with Xbox 360 wireless controllers that's having difficulty remapping to a CD32 joypad; just paste the following over the "joyport1" lines in your configurations:

joyport1=custom0
joyport1autofire=none
joyport1mode=cd32joy
joyportcustom0=j.0.b.0=JOY2_CD32_RED j.0.b.1=JOY2_CD32_BLUE j.0.b.2=JOY2_CD32_GREEN j.0.b.3=JOY2_CD32_YELLOW j.0.b.4=JOY2_CD32_RWD j.0.b.5=JOY2_CD32_FFW j.0.b.7=JOY2_CD32_PLAY j.0.a.0=JOY2_HORIZ j.0.a.1=JOY2_VERT j.0.a.5=JOY2_HORIZ j.0.a.6=JOY2_VERT

Ok, been playing around trying to add in my second Xbox 360 wireless controller

You don't even need to remap anything; just set from "Default" to "CD32 pad" for both ports

...so if you have 2 x Xbox 360 wireless controllers; just paste the below over "joyport0" & "joyport1" in your CD32 configuration files:

joyport0=joy1
joyport0autofire=none
joyport0mode=cd32joy
joyportfriendlyname0=Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) [2]
joyportname0=\\?\HID#VID_045E&PID_02A1&IG_02#8&1587aceb&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}
joyport1=joy0
joyport1autofire=none
joyport1mode=cd32joy
joyportfriendlyname1=Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) [1]
joyportname1=\\?\HID#VID_045E&PID_02A1&IG_00#8&207c98d7&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}

Buttons will be as follows:

XBOX 360          CD32
---------------------------------
"A" button        "Red" button
"B" button        "Blue" button
"X" button        "Green" button
"Y" button        "Yellow" button
"LB" button       "RWD" button
"RB" button       "FFW" button
"Back" button     "Play" button

Select entry where you want to add it, then click Remap again and move analog stick. You can add as many events as you want under single entry.

Use Add Event if you want to add other events, like want to map pad key to keyboard etc.

Cheers Toni

I know you don't like doing documentation (me neither) but this is one of those things where it would be good to have basic instructions; hence the reason for this thread. Would save people a lot of headaches and probably silly questions coming your way...

Anyway, hopefully there is now enough information here to help others

[honx]

is it possible to implement some kind of standard setting for xbox 360 controller as replacement for cd32 pad?
because i am way too exceptionally stupid to get xbox 360 controller working as cd32 pad in cd32 configuration.

[DamienD]

I used to have trouble with this also...

Anyway, I'm sure that I replied to one of your recent posts on the same subject and pointed towards this thread:

... Mapping joystick / joypad [Xbox 360 specific]

Once you know how it's easy

Just ignore most of what I wrote, that's for customising buttons... All you need to do is as follows

Did you get this working honx?

If not, here's step-by-step instructions (I'll use only one controller and "Port 2" in the example):

a) Connect your Xbox 360 controller.
b) Start WinUAE and select "Host" --> "Game ports".
c) Click the drop down menu next to "Port 2:" and select "Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows)".
d) Click the drop down menu that says "Default" under "Port 2:" and select "CD32 pad".



All done, repeat for the other controller / Port 1

If you now select "Host" --> "Input" you will see what function is mapped to which button:

haven't tried yet, sorry. will do that tonight...

[DamienD]

That's ok; I might merge this thread with my original one: Mapping joystick / joypad [Xbox 360 specific]

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Grazie Damien, for those not familiar a nice little program to test Joysticks, also exists that for the Joypad

Not at all, totally up to you really

...just thought that given all your threads / posts about it you'd be eager to find a solution; that's all.

There's another saying my father used to say: "You can lead a horse to water but you can make it drink"
