So there must be other issues with that controller in general.
Have you tried setting up the HK directly in RA and then set up all the hotkeys as you like ?
Settings > input > Hoytkey Binds
there you can set up all of your hotkeys, then after go into Settings > input > User 1 binds > User 1 Save Auto Config
and I will appreciate it if you send me the es_input.cfg and the resulting auto configo that should be in /tmp/joypads so I can add them directly to the image.
Hello.I just want to report that I have never been able to configure my Dualshock 3 in ES so I have to use a premade es_input.cfg. Also, now RA doesn’t configure it correctly so I have to use a usb keyboard to configure it, however in older Sx05RE versions (I don’t remember which one exactly) it was configured well (it’s not a big deal anyway).
The problem is that I removed the included configurations for game-pads as I thought the auto config would handle all of that, too bad the PS3 controller seems to have a lot of problems. I am going to have to include a pre-made configuration in future releases (or figure out why all of those things happen but I don’t have a working PS3 controller ) if anyone can send me their es_input.cfg and the Retroarch configuration (including hotkeys please) I can add it to the image and it will (hopefully) work out of the box.
Using an USB cable (required to update master device bluetooth address), plug it to your box and click Home button, leds should stop blinking.
Unplug USB cable, leds are blinking again, after a bit it should stop blinking if not, pair it using Bluetooth configuration menu, controller is now connected using a wireless bluetooth connection.
Now once your controller is paired, copy this file to /storage/.emulationstation/es_temporaryinput.cfg
now connect to your box by SSH, and run this /storage/.kodi/addons/script.sx05re.launcher/bin/bash /storage/.emulationstation/scripts/inputconfiguration.sh
After that when you start ES it should work, Retroarch should also be configured, but there is a small bug that will display the search option if you use the HK+triangle to open the retroarch menu (fixed on the next release of the addon) so if you want to open the menu instead use both thumb buttons.
If you don’t want to do any of this just wait until the next release
I spent all day yesterday trying to fix the PS3 game-pad issue and I think I boiled down to the motion sensors inside the controllers, you can’t configure it properly in ES because those axes are always working (even when the controller is not moving) you can see what I am talking about if you run jstest /dev/input/js0
The solution that RetroPie uses (sixaxis) does not seem to work on CE because the kernel is too old (at leas that is what I think). The workaround I posted here works fine for my PS3 controller (played about 3 hours with no problems, on different Retroarch emulators), but I am not sure if it will work for all PS3 controllers (originals and clones).
If you use a PS3 controller you have 3 options
Use the workaround and hope it will work for you, (the new add-on version will have this included)
Search online for a es_input.cfg that will work for your controller
Use another controller (not sure how you guys can use this for retro, the dpad is horrendous )
For now (until someone with more knowledge comes to help out with a better solution) I am leaving this as it is right now.
Short question. Everytime i start a Dreamcast game, I hear the starting Dreamcast sound and if i press buttons on controller i hear sounds, but i have no picture. TV stays black from starting on a DC game. Had someone the same problem? All other emulators are running fine. THX in advance. J.
hi, above (first page) is the explanation to your question. You can put your roms on any external device… as you read this: „
but If you want to use an external HDD or a USB for your ROMS, make a directory called “roms” in the root of the USB device, then inside create an empty file called sx05reroms , place your ROMS inside the corresponding folder (nes, snes, etc, etc.) then with the device plugged start the add-on.“
