USB Converter: cannot run?

I'm using the blight input plugin, that comes with the newest version.

I've tried diffrent roms, but the emulator cannot tell how much pressure I'm putting on the joystick (so I can't run, and all that good stuff).

I'm using a USB converter in order to use a real n64 controller

Can anyone help? :)

Apparently installing jscalibrator changed the permissions of my joystick device. xD

The problem isn't fixed, however. =(

Any suggestions? (can I use your jscalibrator file?)

if you have problems with your joystick you have to delete /dev/js0,...
please follow the tutorial in /usr/src/linux-2.6.x/Documentation/joystick.txt
(or input.txt don't know)

Since jscalibrator is able to detect pressure correctly, this seems to be a Mupen64 problem. :/

Do you know of any other n64 linux emulators I could try, and see if I have better results?

Are there any other input plugins you suggest I try?

Thanks for your help.

Go to the control panel. Then to game controllers. then in the oprions menu callibrate your gamepad. that might solve the problem.. it did for me!

you can check the blight_input.conf (if the plugin found your joystick):

plugged=1 <=important
mempak=1

(perhabs: jstest /dev/js0 can also help)


there is only one n64 emu. you can try gens or zsnes and check if you have same probs there.

Yep, it's plugged.

Perhaps it's something weird with my blight_input.conf file; does anyone here use a real N64 controller, and can I get the blight_input.conf you use?

With jscal:

Setting correction to:
Correction for axis 0: broken line, precision: 1.
Coeficients: 128, 128, 6882750, 7063875
Correction for axis 1: broken line, precision: 0.
Coeficients: 127, 127, 6972137, 6468127
Correction for axis 2: broken line, precision: 1.
Coeficients: 128, 128, 6882750, 7354172
Correction for axis 3: broken line, precision: 0.
Coeficients: 127, 127, 6795627, 6468127

It doesn't save this, however, which doesn't help me. :mad:

Thanks!

A have same problem

Friend

I experienced the same problem, running Ubuntu 6.06 (kernel 2.6.15) and a "Boom" USB adaptor with a N64 real joystick.

Just plugging the controller to computer and running Mupen64 *without* calibrating seems to enable the detection of analog joystick input, besides not working properly (i.e. Mario cannot run fast) due to uncalibrated state.

How to reproduce: running 'jscalibrator' *before* opening Mupen. The emulator will not be able to detect analog joystick input, besides button pressing seems to work fine.

What I'm planning to do is install "KControl" KDE app that does have a joystick calibrator that seems to work fine with mupen (a lonnnng time ago I used Mupen 0.3.someversion with it, and worked great). I will report any further result on this.

Best regards

Finally

Friend

I tested KControl app to calibrate the joystick and Mupen worked flawless. It seems to
exist a bug in jscalibrator indeed.

I'll second that. I was having the same problem with my PS2 USB adapter in Ubuntu 6.06. JSCalibrate wasn't working, but I tried KControl as Fencer mentioned and now it works perfectly :)
