    Have the Dreamcast emulator working, it loads no problem, but I cant get passed the “set date/time” screen, I am able to change the date/time, so left/right and up/down work, I just cannot use “select” button. I’ve tried changing the config files for my controller(xbox 360 wireless) and anything else I could think of. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    p.s. I also just got the Intellivision emulator working though I am having some controller issues with it as well, I just haven’t taken a look yet to see if I can fix it, but if anyone already knows what to do please let me know :)

    Thanking you all in advance for your time and effort it will be greatly appreciated :)

    P.S.S Have been trying to find a solution already, check this link out before posting any solutions here please to make sure it has not been tried already :).

    Thanks but I’ve been there too and that doesn’t help, though I appreciate the help :)

    Please post your /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg and the files under /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/.

    Looks good if you have “only one” xbox controller and this controller is event device 7. Could you post the content of controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg as well?

    Please transfer hex values of this file https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/blob/master/shell/linux/mappings/controller_xboxdrv.cfg into your controller config file.

    I just had this problem, only with the xbox one controller. Typing in the hex values worked as well for me, but select doesn’t quit the emulator. In fact, no buttons or combinations that I have tried quits. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    If you’re asking about the Dreamcast emulator, for me ctrl+alt+del exits the emulator, that works for most the emulators that I am unable to exit by means of a button combination on my controller. Hope this helps :)

    0x137 (select) should work as a exit button.

    Hy, I read the whole thread and all the other ones on the forum, but i don’t manage to make my XBox 360 wired controller work.
    I have the same problem of being stuck not being able to press the “select” button to validate the date.

    I copied the Hex values in my controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg:

    [emulator]
    mapping_name = Xbox 360 Controller (xboxdrv userspace driver)
    btn_escape = 0x13a
    
    [dreamcast]
    btn_a = 0x130
    btn_b = 0x131
    btn_c = 0x136
    btn_d = 0x137
    btn_x = 0x133
    btn_y = 0x134
    btn_z = 0x13d
    btn_start = 0x13b
    axis_x = 0x00
    axis_y = 0x01
    axis_trigger_left = 0x0a
    axis_trigger_right = 0x09
    
    [compat]
    axis_dpad1_x = 0x10
    axis_dpad1_y = 0x11
    

    And here is my emu.cfg:

    [audio]
    backend = oss
    disable = 0
    
    [config]
    Debug.SerialConsoleEnabled = 0
    Dreamcast.Broadcast = 4

    aica.NoSound = 0
    axis.0 = Axis_X
    axis.1 = Axis_Y
    bios.UseReios = 0
    pvr.MaxThreads = 3
    pvr.Subdivide = 0
    pvr.SynchronousRendering = 0
    pvr.rend = 0

    evdev_mapping_1 = /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg
    joystick_device_id = -1
    
    [reios]
    ElfFile = 
    
    [validate]
    OpenGlChecks = 0[input]
    

    I also tried to add this to my emu.cfg:

    
    [Xbox 360 Controller (xboxdrv userspace driver)]
    button.0=DPad_Up
    button.1=DPad_Down
    button.2=DPad_Left
    button.3=DPad_Right
    button.4=Btn_A
    button.5=Btn_B
    button.6=Btn_X
    button.7=Btn_Y
    button.10=Axis_LT
    button.11=Axis_RT
    button.12=Quit
    button.13=Btn_Start
    axis.0=Axis_X
    axis.1=Axis_Y
    

    But it does nothing more, i was wondering if the evdev_device_id was correct set to 0 ? I have tagged my usb XBox controller on the top-left usb port on my Raspbery 2.

    Thanks in advance for your help, i think i missed something or didn’t understand something !

    I recently started fresh with retropie 3.3, so I have to go through this again, sadly. Reicast was working perfectly for me previously.

    I tried what was suggested above; adding the hex values to controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg. That fixed most of my buttons, but the start button still does not work.

    here’s my controller_XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg:

    [emulator]
    mapping_name = Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver)
    btn_escape = 0x13a
    
    [dreamcast]
    btn_a = 0x130 
    btn_b = 0x131 
    btn_c = 0x136 
    btn_d = 0x137 
    btn_x = 0x133 
    btn_y = 0x134 
    btn_z = 0x13d 
    btn_start = 0x13b
    axis_x = 0x00 
    axis_y = 0x01 
    axis_trigger_left = 0x0a 
    axis_trigger_right = 0x09 
    
    [compat]
    axis_dpad1_x = 0x10
    axis_dpad1_y = 0x11
    axis_dpad2_x =
    axis_dpad2_y =
    axis_x_inverted = no
    axis_y_inverted = no
    axis_trigger_left_inverted =
    axis_trigger_right_inverted =
    axis_dpad1_y_inverted = no
    axis_dpad1_x_inverted = no

    Turns out sometimes the emulator won’t pick up the controllers settings. I had to delete the emu.cfg to have it recognize the new inputs.

    Just take libretro config file as base and add 304 to every value.
    https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/blob/master/udev/XboxGamepad(userspacedriver).cfg

    So select and start should be:
    start = 313d = 0x139h
    select = 312d = 0x138h

    Or add 305. I’m not really certain if id_offset is 304, 305 or 307.

    I’m not really sure what happened, maybe a hidden character because I edited the file in windows. The settings shown in my post above are what eventually worked.

    I tried changing the value for the start button to 0x139, which didn’t work. I then tried simply swapping start and select, and suddenly both worked, so I changed them back to what they were originally and now everything works.

    Hy,

    Here is the holy grail for me, i’m sharing my config with you, I tried a lot of things :) I use a Wired Xbox360 controller and here are the values for the exact same use of buttons than with the original dreamcast controller:

    [emulator]
    mapping_name = Xbox Gamepad (userspace driver)
    btn_escape = 0x13a
    
    [dreamcast]
    btn_a = 0x130h
    btn_b = 0x131h
    btn_c = 
    btn_d = 0x139h
    btn_x = 0x133h
    btn_y = 0x134h
    btn_z = 0x138h
    btn_start = 0x13Bh
    axis_x = 0x00
    axis_y = 0x01
    axis_trigger_left = 0x0a
    axis_trigger_right = 0x09
    
    [compat]
    axis_dpad1_x = 0x10
    axis_dpad1_y = 0x11
    

    Hoping this would help lost souls like i was ^^, pretty damn annoying finding the proper hexadecimal codes.
    Select is used to leave Reicast, and all other buttons are properly linked.

    See you on the forum :)

    Hi,

    I’m running Retropie 3.3 and I’ve encountered the following issues with Dreamcast that I’ve not found any relation to on the web.

    My PS3 (R) Controller is not responding in Dreamcast. I’ve followed https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Dreamcast and Floob’s video with no success.

    there are no controls at all mapped for Dpad 2 in what you posted. You say it works in some games? I don’t see how it could ever work with those settings.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    With USBGamepad I can play Soul Calibur and Powerstone with those configs. I was surprised at beginning when I noticed it worked without any mappings. I also tried to add values around the ones displayed, obviously with no success.

    With PS3(R) I was trying to delete [input]
    evdev_device_id_1 = 0 …etc because from what I saw in tutorial video from Floob those lines were missing, but every time I would start a game they would be generated again.

    #113384

    idk if possibly the ps3 controller might work in a similar way to the xbox360 controller; by using the hex values instead of the “normal” values. I’d assume they wouldn’t be the same, however.

    Ok so I’ve done something right and I’m able to play dreamcast, buy for some reason the left and right trigger buttons don’t work, everything else is fine though, anyone encounter this? If so what did you change or add, also how do I enable the 2nd controller

    I’m using xbox 360 wireless controllers

    dreamcast controls are supposed to get set up somewhat automatically, but from what I’ve seen you need to edit the field manually. The values that are set in the file are nowhere near correct, at least not for an xbox 360 controller. I have no idea what they need to be for a X Arcade stick, but my guess is not what they start out as.

    Can you please share the code file that you are using for the emulation?
    Also which hardware is connected with it?

    All it does on the Dreamcast Emulator is the joystick works but none of the buttons works.

    It is connected to a Raspberri Pi2

    The Xarcade tankstick controller is used with retropie and emulation station to run NES, SNES, N64, Mame and PlayStation 1. Currently working as I want to. Wanted to add Dreamcast to the collection.

    I too would like to know how to get my X-Arcade Tankstick controls working again. The controls worked fine in RetroPie 3.2, but after updating to 3.6, it appears the method to configure the controls has changed. Below are the contents of my 2 config files from RetroPie 3.6.

    Please can you kindly help me to get my SFC30 working with Dreamcast. Everytime i edit the controller_8BitdoSFC30GamePadJoystick.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/mappings/ it reverts back to the original mappings. So i know why its not working.

    Do i need to edit another file? possiblly /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast/emu.cfg ?

    Thanks in advance.

    I’m also having similar issues using these PowerA ProEx controllers that work well with other emulators.

    emu.cfg
    controller_USBDownlo01.50ProEx.cfg

    I haven’t edited these files yet because I do not know what values to use.

    I did read the dreamcast setup page in the wiki but am still stumped as to how to get this working.

    Since others are having the same issue with their controllers, maybe the question should be posed a little differently. Does anyone know HOW to get the hex values for the controller inputs in the newer version of reicast?
