MegaPad Plugin !!!

[NHervé]

I noticed SDL only encapsulates WinMM apis for Win32. I'm thinking about writing a lib which would use UsbHidApi.dll, which makes HID communications simpler, to get a better plugin. I found the protocol of my joystick by using a UsbHidApi demo, from packet values. Here is the protocol of my joystick, Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 :

Bit |Val|Expl.
0   |01 |REport ID
1   |80 |Left X (axis 1)
2   |7f |Left Y (axis 2)
3   |7f |Right X (axis 3)
4   |80 |Right Y (axis 4)
5   |08 |Hi : buttons 0-4, Lo : POV
6   |00 |Buttons 5-12
7   |02 |Mode : 02 : normal, 0a : reverse POV and left axis

note : value can vary

POV :
0 : up
1 : up-right
2 : right
3 : down-right
4 : down
5 : down-left
6 : left
7 : up-left
8 : centered

Hi.
I'm really looking forward to your linux port
I'm just another 'keyboard' guy, so please, could you just tell me if linux
port will support keyboard bindings for analog controls ?
Just curios, what was your 'fopen()' problem ?

[NHervé]

yes, the linux port will support keyboard for analogs, each analog direction is considered as a button, with pressure info.
I could not open my config file, but now it is solved.

[rasta_freak]

Great !

BTW - about fopen() - don't be shy, I'm programmer myself
Well, i guess you have better things to do than discuss that now...
Anyway, I have some linux programming experience, so if you're stuck at any point, I'm offering my help too (have seen other "offers" themselves ).
I'm not saying I will solve it, but maybe I could be of some help to someone

[Xargon]

When i try to set the keys the entire emu crashes, why?

[NHervé]

don't know.

[keypox]

so i got to the config screen but soon as i hit a button like X, or down or anything it immediatly fills it with Joy1_Axis3_Min. And no buttons on my controller will reg there???

[leeminwo]

select MegaPad v 1.3.3 plugin and test

"error 1746190400 Whitele loading SDL"

SDL.dll (From v1.2.0) file is in Root Folder

What's Wromg ?



Where is SDL.dll ?

[NHervé]

keypox : use a standard joystick.
leeminwo : strange.

[sfirmans]

oy, how to playing ps2 emulator

[vicZor]

Something is really strange here, the SDL.dll don't come with the 1.3.3 ver, or the pcsx2 0.9.4

[chibievil]

i keep gettin 'pcsx2 has stopped working' and then pcsx2 crashes and closes i used the latest version and no matter wat i do it error but when i test it says the program should work fine

[RogerGamesRG]

thx man ... testing

[akira181]

I get an error message when I go to test. it says "Error 1746190400 while loading SDL". I have the SDL in the root directory and the megapad.dll and included folder in the plugins folder.

Odd thing was it was working before, but I couldn't configure the analog stick properly. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?

[oli_ramsay]

OK i got MegaPad_ver1.3.3.zip

but there's no SDL.dll file there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I got MegaPad_ver1.3.0.zip, placed SDL.dll in the main folder and so far it works great with my Tesun PS2 replica controller!

Great plugin, thanks. It's fixed my controller lag problem in Resident evil code veronica which used to carry on shooting when I stopped pressing X and loads of other annoyances!

Thanks again

so, in trying to make zeropad work, i'm playing with these values, any guess as to how these correllate to the Zeropad.ini values, particularly the axis mappings? i'm waiting on the edge of my seat for MegaPad Linux, but i want to see if i can get it to go on its own....

[NHervé]

The new version of Megapad, v1.4.0, will be entirely (or almost) rewritten and will feature native Wiimote support without GlovePIE. I don't know if it will still use SDL for normal joysticks, I think yes.

[Yassine]

hello where is the sdl.dll?
i download the last megapad, but not sdl.dll??

[NHervé]

download one of the first zips or google "sdl".

[Yassine]
