Usb gamepad

i have a quickshot usb gamepad (2 axis + 8 buttons)
i can make it work but it's recognized as a 6 axis gamepad so i can't play anything right
anyone knows how to fix this???
thanks

this means you're loading the wrong joystick module. i'm guessing you have the analog module loaded. there's probably a more specific module you could use.
Read the Arch Joystick Wiki and the kernel's joystick documentation
Unfortunately there's nothing specific about quickshot in there. I haven't heard of it, but frankly that doesn't mean too much try having a long search through google to find out what module might work, and play around. loading modules doesn't hurt your computer heh
I had the same problem with my Logitech ThunderPad Digital, and I found out that I actually need to load the adi module instead of analog to get all 8 buttons working.

  • USB gamepad recognized as a mouse

    I want to use my Logitech USB Gamepad to play some games, but when I plug it in it's not recognized as a gamepad but as a mouse. I can use the D-Pad or Joystick to move the mouse cursor and I can't figure out why that's happening. Here is a lsusb if that helps

    So that fixed the problem with it moving the cursor, but now it wont register with any of the buttons in bsnes when I try and set up a controller (although it wasn't before either). Any ideas?

  • Is it possible to interface a USB Gamepad to a RT PXI system?

    We currently use a RT PXI system to control a subsea ROV.
    We would like to interface a Logitech Wingman Gamepad with USB interface to our RT PXI system as a Human Interface Device (HID) to control the ROV. Is it possible?
    The gamepad supplier has informed me that the gamepad is "a fully compliant HID device and can be read by any HID-capable platform"

    While the application sounds interesting, unfortunately USB devices are not supported on any of our PXI controllers when booted into the Real-Time operating system.

  • USB Gamepad problem

    I just bought a Thrusmaster Firestorm Dual Analog Gamepad and for some weird reason it doesn't want to work on my nForce computer.  ;(
    My machine is dual boot so I tried it in Windows XP and Windows 98 SE. Both detected it as a Unknown device.
    I know the gamepad is fine because it's working on my old Athlon 900 MHz with a K7T Pro2-A (KT133 Chipset) in Windows 2000 !  
    Ironically, my Gravis Eliminator Gamepad and my MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (both USB) work fine in all OS and on both machines.
    I have no idea what the problem is and the I think tech support at Thrustmaster, which is quick and helpfull, is also running out of idea fast...
    Any help or suggestion is appreciated !

    Drivers :
    Firestorm Dual Analog 2
    No drivers are required for this device.
    This device is fully compliant with the "Human Interface Device" specifications.
    We have developed the device in such a way that it will be recognize under the Microsoft Operating systems (Windows 98 series, Me, 2000 and Windows XP) as a "HID compliant Game Device".
    The drivers provided by Microsoft will ensure you a perfect compatibility with any games using DirectX technology (100% of today's games!).
    Note:If you wish to use advanced functions (Like Axis and Button programming or Keyboard key mapping),the Thrustmapper software is available in the "Utilities" section.This program will install proprietary drivers to enable such functions.
    Are you certain you have a Firestorm Dual Analog 2, and not a Firestorm Dual Analog (1, i'm assuming)...
    Both are listed at Thrustmaster, and the Dual Analog 1 does need a WinXP driver...
    Dual Analog 1 Driver
    Hope that helps..

  • Saitek P880 USB Gamepad

    Has anyone gotten one of these to run on an arch system? I've tried googling for a how-to and all I come up with is a little bit of troubleshooting which I was unable to reverse engineer what they did to get mine to work.
    I can plug it in, and dmesg sees it
    usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
    input: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [SAITEK P880] on usb-0000:00:02.0-2
    All the lights come on, but I can't use it at all...
    Thanks in advance

    I tried my PlayStation->USB adapter yesterday and as I understand, you need to load the "joydev" driver like this, in root mode off course:
    modprobe joydev
    Afterward, you can test the buttons with
    cat /dev/input/js0
    or another /dev/input/js?
    I'm currently there. I guess you need to associate these buttons to a game later on...
    Good luck!

  • Screensaver and USB gamepad

    I use a gamepad when I play games on an emulator (VICE / C64 in this case) and I often have to go and give the mouse a bump when the screensaver activates (and according to Murphy's Law, it's right when I can least afford it in the game).
    Short of shutting off the screensaver, is there a way to make the system detect input from the gamepad so that the screensaver is not activated?

    You could try using Caffeine. It lets you temporarily disable energy saver settings like screen dim/screensaver/sleep.
    Good luck!

  • USB GamePad/Sidewinder controllers

    Anybody have a reference to sample code or a Howto or ANYTHING about how to get a USB game
    controller working for Java3D. I understand that I could use JNI to read from device drivers for joysticks
    that use RS232 (and could possibly use Java COMM to do that more portably), but I think that RS232
    joysticks will be obsolete before long.
    I notice that NCSA has some API's for configuring alternative input devices. Anybody know if I should
    investigate that further?
    IMO, many of the participants in this forum are into 3D games. I don't understand how anybody could
    use 3D PC or console games with modern game controllers and then be satisfied with using their
    mouse and keyboard arrow keys for the 3D games they are developing. It's definitely a turn-off for me.

    That doesn't help me. In on Linux.
    I wrote my own Java InputDevice driver with JNI which works for all Linux-supported
    Joysticks (pretty much all joysticks). When I get the time, I'll look into Jxinput and
    see how much trouble it would be to change my driver to work the same wasy as
    Jxinput. If I did that, then I could encapsulate both with a driver that will work for
    both Windows and Linux.
    If anybody emails me, I'll put my Linux Java joystick driver up on the web.

  • [SOLVED] udev not creating gamepad device

    I'm having trouble with an USB gamepad that actually is an Playstation controller adapter in Arch, I cannot use it in PCSX-Reloaded for instance.
    Here's the output of lsusb when plugged:

    The gamepad is correctly listed as Bus 003 Device 011 (GreenAsia Inc. MaxFire Blaze2). But I think udev is not creating the /dev/input/js0 device as it should (it works on my Slackware 14.0 box), as the output of ls /dev/input is:
    by-id event1 event12 event3 event6 event9 mouse1
    by-path event10 event13 event4 event7 mice
    event0 event11 event2 event5 event8 mouse0
    What should I do? Does other USB gamepads are configured automatically? Is my device too old/incompatible with Arch? Or is it a bug?

    I would be nice if you would share your solution so other members could benefit - even if it is a mistake or misconfiguration by yourself
    My Dragonfire pad requires the "joydev" module, for example.
    # modprobe joydev

  • Making a USB interface

    Something I always wanted to do is to be able to design some hardware that would send information into a computer and communicate with some software that the user could interact with. Here are some examples: I have different hardware with USB inputs such as a biofeedback device, a sound level meter, etc. Or, if I designed a circuit that sent and received information to a USB output which could be plugged into a computer. It would be great to be able to write a program that gets and sends information to these devices. But, I just do not know where to start. I was wondering if one of you could point me in the direction of understanding the process. Does it involve writing a driver? If so, what is involved? etc.
    Here is concretely what I am looking to do now.
    I have an exercise bike that has an eight pin input from the bike into a circuit board which connects to a screen. I would like to disconnect the screen and communicate with the bike through my laptop running Mac OS X. I figure it must be possible to have the eight pin input connect to a USB computer input that would connect to a computer. I imagine, if you understood how Mac OS X works at a fundamental level, you could then write a program that would then use the input from the bike (through the USB input).
    Somebody must know how to do this because every device that hooks into a computer must do this. I would just like to know the basics of how to get this to work at the most simple level. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    communicate with the bike through my laptop running
    Mac OS X.
    Forget about USB and OSX and programming etc for now.. the first thing you will need to do is work out what each of those wires are used for. Are they connected to sensors or another circuit? Do they drive the screen, or does the screen drive them? Do they need power? What voltage? etc. If you can't do this.. then there isn't much point continuing any further until you can. If you aren't already handy with a multimeter and a soldering iron, then you might want to try interfacing the computer with something a little less complicated to start with, or find someone who is experienced to help you.
    How to talk to/program for a custom USB device is going to be the last thing you want to deal with, not to mention requires many years of system level programming experience. Something I am assuming you don't have by the way you asked the question (no offence intended).
    That's not to say don't attempt it.. on the contrary, it sounds like a cool idea, however it's not going to be easy. For the computer interface part I would probably be looking for an already supported, cheap, input device that can be repurposed to suit, such as a USB gamepad controller, which have numerous digital and analogue inputs, not to mention readily available example source code from apple on how to talk to it.

  • Read each button from a gamepad

    Hi, what I would like to do is read input from a usb gamepad  and change a Color box and change text infront of the box. However, the controller outputs a t/f for each button.
    (Button 1,2,3,4 will change color, and 5,6,7,8 will determine what text will display over the color box( 4 diff text displays))
    My problem is how do I say "Def. If neither 1,2,3,4 are presses-black, If button 1 is pressed-blue, If button 2 is pressed-green...etc..."
    I have tried a case structure, but they can only say T/F once, which would be fine but the color box can only accept one input... I have attached a picture of what I have that wont work, I need an alternative...
    Thank you, 
    Brent S.

  • Logitech Dual Action Gamepad

    I purchased a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad for my son to use to play Lego Star Wars on the Power Book G4. When it's connected, the System Profiler shows that the Mac "recognizes" the device, but nothing happens on the screen. I emailed tech support for the software and they told me it may need to be calibrated. I tried to follow the instructions, but nothing happened. Anyone have experience getting a USB gamepad such as this to work, or have other suggestions that things I might try?

    Well, maybe you don't neeed xf86-input-joystick but I have a usb logitech gamepad and I didn't use joydev or anything else but did install xf86-input-joystick--maybe I don't need it after all--and it just works.   I'll have to check that computer later when I'm using it as MOD_AUTOLOAD in rc.conf maybe autoloads joydev??
    Edit:  Well I'll be, joydev is loaded after all so I guess the module autoloads.  Arch is smart.

  • Is there a game controller/gamepad available for the iPad?

    Is anybody aware of a gamepad for the iPad? I bought some of my favorite childhood games to pass some time on the ipad, but I gotta say the touch screen gaming experience is kinda lame. I keep touching the wrong "buttons" because my fingers can't feel the difference between them like a real gamepad/joystick. I found one company that makes a controller, but it works with only TWO games! Other people did jailbreak hacks with a wiimote. Does any company make a legitimate game controller for the iPad?

    Chip_b4er wrote:
    Good idea, but the iPad games are not able to change the touchscreen controls to the buttons of a USB gamepad, the games need to be compatible with it.
    That's the part I wasn't aware of. Thanks for the good info.

    I've seen those before (but I think another company invented them, not Logitech). I'm reluctant to buy one because it relies on suction cups. I bought something called the Joystick-It by ThinkGeek, and while the idea is novel, getting the suction cup to stay in one place on the gamescreen is 99% impossible. I've cleaned, polished, buffed the screen every way possible and no matter how smooth its surface may be, I can't keep that suction cup stationary.

  • Can't get Logitech gamepad to work

    I've been searching various forums thoughout the afternoon and have not yet found a solution to my current problem...
    I recently purchased a Logitech Dual Action gamepad to use it with my sega/nes/snes emulator and associated ROMS. When the controller is plugged in, my computer recognizes its presence; however, when I load up the game, I am unable to use the gamepad as my controls. Any advice?

    What is the name of the emulator your using?
    Have you tried to use any of the usb gamepad configurators on this pageto map keys to your device to match the keys on your emulator.

  • "game controllers" won't function

    Asking help for this problem everywhere, figured I'd come to MSI because it is their fault.... Anyways I have a USB gamepad which I'm trying to connect to my computer.  This gamepad needs "game controllers" in control panel to function.  Everytime I try to use "game controllers" it whines about how my gameport drivers aren't configured properly and it completely won't function.  Now I don't need a physical gameport, I just need whatever gets "game controllers" working.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Windows XP PRO SP2.

    unplug ANY other USB devices you have(except mouse/keyboard but I'd try that as a last resort too) and then try the gamepad again.
    I've got a Microsoft forcefeedback wheel that won't work on my SIS motherboard box till I unplug the Microsoft gamepad first.
    There's also a Bios setting in "integrated Peripherals" menu to enable "all legacy devices" although I'm not sure this does anything after Windows starts up...Just an idea.
