Hello all,
I'm planning on adding a new auto-configuration feature to our SDL input plugin (formerly known as Blight input) while I'm converting it to the new API. The way that this feature will work is, the first time you run the emulator (or if you delete the configuration file), the SDL input plugin will read the name of the joystick and set some sensible default controls for you. I only have 2 joysticks, both Logitech pads, so I would like to ask you in the community to gather some data for me so that this feature may support other joysticks as well.
If you are willing to lend your help with this, please do the following:
1. Unplug all of your joysticks and controllers from your PC
2. Plug in just one joystick that you want to test and configure
3. Run mupen64plus 1.5 or later SVN version
4. Open the configuration dialog with Options -> Configure...
5. Select the Plugins tab
6. Select "blight's SDL input plugin" in the Input box
7. Click Config to open the SDL configuration window
8. Write down the exact name shown in the "Device:" box in the upper-right corner of the window
9. If the Device name is Keyboard or None, then your joystick was not recognized; maybe it's turned off or not supported by SDL
10. Set reasonable default configuration controls for each N64 controller input. Make sure that you set all 18 controls.
11. Click OK on the SDL dialog, then OK on the Configure dialog. Close Mupen64Plus.
12. Write an email to:
mupen64plus@googlegroups.com. Include the joystick name from step 8, and attach your blight configuration file (~/.mupen64plus/blight_input.conf)
Thanks
Linear Mode
