PCSX patch

[shirouto_yokota]

Hello, linuzappz.

I made serious mistake in negcon function. Members negConWheel, negConB1, negConB2, and negConB3 are already declared in "PSEmu Plugin Defs.h" of http://home.t-online.de/home/PeteBernert/spu_interface.zip.
Plewse fix plugins.c and PSEmu_Plugin_Defs.h by this patch.

typedef struct
{
// controler type - fill it withe predefined values above
unsigned char controllerType;

// status of buttons - every controller fills this field
unsigned short buttonStatus;

// for analog pad fill those next 4 bytes
// values are analog in range 0-255 where 128 is center position
unsigned char rightJoyX, rightJoyY, leftJoyX, leftJoyY;

// for mouse fill those next 2 bytes (and buttons in button status)
// values are in range -128 - 127
unsigned char moveX, moveY;

// for NEGCON from Namco
// set next four bytes
// this is caused by screwing pad 0-255 values and 128 in normal position
unsigned char negConWheel;
//and those three bytes correcpond to pressing analog buttons
unsigned char negConB1, negConB2, negConB3;

// do not touch reserved area
unsigned char reserved[87];

} PadDataS;

Thank you for reading,

Hello, linuzappz.
it's not linuzappz here, but Gismo :)

Why the need of a patch? I mean, from Mr.Fujita PSX specs file (I don't remember the link, but we know what we'r talking about), the 4 NeGcon analog features r mapped as the 4 analog sticks values in a DualShock pad, so...

- NeGcon twist > right stick left/ritght > rightJoyX
- NeGcon I > right stick up/down > rightJoyY
- NeGcon II > left stick left/right > leftJoyX
- NeGcon L > left stick up/down > leftJoyY

They'r already analog values, centered to 128.
Well, I think that other specific values for NeGcon will be useless (perhaps it should be better to re-named them to analog6thbyte and so on or other names).

Thx, bye

hi, i'll add it, thanks yokota :)

hi, i'll add it, thanks yokota :)

it seems nobody heard me: why the need for other constant when those for the analog pad are correct and usefull? As in the "PSEmu_Plugins_def.h" from Harakiri pad source there'r not the NeGcon values...

Btw, which is the exact name for the Namco NeGcon? Because I call it NeGcon, while Pete and Yokota NegCon :???:

Thx, bye,

Your idea seems to be most suitable. But, we have to esteem the definition by PSEmu team. PCSX and other plugin-style emulators are generally known as "PSEmu Pro compatible" emulators.

"PSEmu Plugin Defs.h" of spu_interface.zip seems to be newer than "PSEmu_Plugins_def.h" of pad_interface.zip. Version of the former (_PPDK_HEADER_VERSION) is 3. The later is 1.

Btw, which is the exact name for the Namco NeGcon? Because I call it NeGcon, while Pete and Yokota NegCon :???:
Perhaps "neGcon" is right, although I usually use "negcon" :). I didn't treat it seriously.

I know the "PSEmu Pro compatible" history and what I didn't know was the fact that PSemu_Plugins_def.h from spu_interface.zip was a newer version of the former one, so all my suggest/request r no more valable ;)

Well, this is only a curiosity of mine, as on the PSEmu_Plugins_def.h it's called "negCon" and as I've never had a real one, I'd like to know the exact name.

Thx, bye
