Custom Configs not working

[Dread_Lord369]

I've managed to get this program to connect to my PS3 following the tutorial, and I tried using one of the configs that came with it (eg. COD Black Ops) and they work perfectly. The problem I'm having is that when i create one of my own, and save it in the same directory (the config one) as an xml file. When i start it, nothing happens.

The difference being that with the configs that came with the program, when i run them, it opens a very small window and the controls are recognized by my PS3, but with my custom configs, no window is opened, and no controls are recognized.

Any help would be appreciated with this.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 + bt.

Thank you,

Dread

Please post the content of your config file within a code tag.

2nd EDIT: I managed to get it to work, somehow after turning my sixaxis controller on and connecting to the ps3, then turning on the emu, and running the emuclient, it sorta kicks the sixaxis controller off and turns it off and then the emu worked.. it doesn't seem like that's how it should work, but that's how I got it to work.


Thank you for the quick response.
Here's the config code:

EDIT: I pasted the wrong config above before, so now its my actual custom one that doesn't work.

[Matlo]

Please open a terminal, and type:

Code: Select all

sixemugui

Try to start emuclient with your own config file, and see if there's some error message displayed in the terminal.

[Dread_Lord369]

EDIT: Sorry for all the edits, but i think i found the problem that i was having, when i created my custom configs, i was giving them names with more than one word (eg. Black Ops.xml), not realising that it had to all be connected as one word (eg. BlackOps.xml).



After my 2nd edit on my post above, the emu seems to work every time now, its like i had to have the actual sixaxis controller on when i start my custom config so the emu kicks the controller off, or something. But now it seems to be working as it should.

In any case, this is what the terminal shows from starting sixemugui up to closing the emu:

Code: Select all

I'm not sure what 'Can't get device info: No such device' means, but it all seems to be working now, so I'm assuming its nothing too bad..

Having two bluetooth devices with the same address on at the same time is not recommended at all. It should work without any trick like that. Your BT dongle is probably at fault (some broadcom dongles have issues). To get rid of this compatibility issue, you should use a bluecore4 dongle.

I'm not sure what 'Can't get device info: No such device' means, but it all seems to be working now, so I'm assuming its nothing too bad..

It's not a problem. The application looks for bt devices from index 0 and increments until it gets this error.

[Dread_Lord369]

Thank you for your help, as i edited in my above post, i think the problem was with the naming of the xml files, because when i tried with a file named 'Black Ops.xml' it gave this error in the terminal:

Code: Select all

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/dave/.emuclient/config/Black"
error: could not parse file /home/dave/.emuclient/config/Black
Bad config file: /home/dave/.emuclient/config/Black

But when i tried with the exact same file, but named 'BlackOps.xml' it worked perfectly.

So i think the problem was with the space in the name.

[Matlo]

You are right, there's a bug with file names containing a space.

I opened issue 112 to track this problem.

The correction is easy, I think it will be fixed in the next release that I hope to build near the end of the week.
