General / Smart Joystick or gamepad configuration maping
« on: November 14, 2019, 07:09:13 AM »
hello.
I'm using attractmode under windows, and it's great. But I have several controlers : joysticks, gamepads and racing weel. when I want to play racing game, for example, I unplug my gamepad then plug in my racing weel. But I have to remap all buttons for Attract Mode and emulators. it's boring for me and my friends who are waiting to play.
Is there a way (a plugin or a third program) to map each controler one time, and each time you plug in this controler, use this configuration. I think about "RECALBOX" which is an Emulator OS based on Emulation Station. It works like this :
- When you plug-in a unknown controler, and push a button for a while, it ask you if you want to map this controler.
- You map all buttons POV-Hat, 2 analog sticks, start, select, A,B,X,Y,L1,L2,R1,R2...etc and 'hot key'. Then it saves this configuration associed to the controler ID.
- So when you want to navigate in the front-end, to select a game for example, the front-end allways use the button you've maped to 'A' for the pluged controler ID, instead of 'button0' ,which may not be the good button if you've change your controler.
- In addition, when you launch a game, "RECALBOX" execute a scritpt that modify the configuration file of the emulator you're launching to remap all buttons for the pluged controler ID.
It's very smart and convenient!!
Do you know if there is a way to do somethig aproching? a third program or do I have to create a plug-in? what's the best aproach?
Thank you. (and scuse for my bad english)
