Pandora: external joystick

[Lutz]

Hi folks,

is it possible to connect an external Joystick? C64 and Amiga seems not to support this feature? Btw external mouse runs with otg-usb.

It depends of the application. I've tested only PSX and Megadrive, and it works pretty well.

Yes, mouse works with a Nokia pin out adapter on OTG (see the wiki for the reference).

You can try QJoypad for programs that only support keyboard input.

Thats the chase.

By using "Vice x64" (Vice Version 2.2) and "UAE4ALL" (Version 1.1.1.24), I`m not able to get an external joystick confirmed.

Using "Picodrive" and "PSXrearmed", an external joypad gets connected with usb-hub.

Has anyone runs a joystick in amga or c64-mode?

I`ve used my homemade joyboard with a usb to d-type connector adapter with UAE4ALL works really well

I downloaded QJoypad but don`t know how to activate it.

What is to do?

 

[Lutz]

Any hints?

I could never get QJoyPad to work, because joysticks appear as /dev/input/eventx files instead of /dev/input/jsx. Since the PND has no control over that, I can't fix it.

 

[mcobit]

Ah. Ok. You need to specify that at compiletime iirc. We need an update.
 

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Oh. Crap. Because I lost all the stuff I'd been working on when my SD card fried itself. I'll have to have help finding all the resources for building PNDs again.

 

[mcobit]

Download the code::blocks pnd and away you go.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Oh, does it have a script for making a PND now? Someone had to give me one before.

there is one in the firmware. It's pnd_make.sh

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Oh. Thanks!

Qjoypad works great for uae4arm

Sure

I think I have watched this a couple times at least, and it is so rough looking.   I love it and wish we could see it a bit better.  Do you mind sharing details about it, and maybe explaining why you did it?  I kinda want to do something like this now.
