Re: [Atari800-users] Cannot get my USB joystick to work

[Greg H. <gre...@ba...>]

I tried that, it didn't recognize all my buttons, neither did
joystick-mapper.
I found a program called joymap (https://github.com/wizlab-it/joymap.git),
it's the simplest joystick key mapper, it is one c file of 210 lines of
code.

When I run joymap -x, it dumps out the current state of all buttons and
axes, then as buttons/axes are pushed/released/moved, it shows the changes.

You can run joymap with a set of args indicating which mappings you want.
If I run joymap with mappings, then run xev, xev shows the expected keysym
as I press the buttons. xev only shows output when buttons are pressed.

Yet when I run atari800, my guy keeps running and/or jumping when I'm not
even touching the joystick.

The only emulator that works perfectly for me is mednafen - it reads the
joystick directly, noy key mappings required. I can only guess I have some
very weird problem, that can only be solved by having emulators directly
read the joystick.
