Re: [Atari800-users] Modern Game Controllers: Mapping buttons

[<be...@em...>]

I use a ps3 controller and it atari800 uses the analog stick. I am able to use xboxdrv to override the kernel driver and disable the analog nub so i can use the dpad(run as root or use sudo):

xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver -D -s --dpad-only

Also, sometimes I use AntiMicroX to remap keyboard/joystick inputs.

Not sure if either of these things will help in your situation. Good luck!
