Since gimx 2.0 shield doesnt get detected

Post by Kekskrümel »

Hi,

I am using my nvidia shield with mcshieldlauncher which use a vjoy device on the pc for input.

Using this, because the default shield joysticks have a bad deadzone. So i can fix this for pc games by using this solution.

Since 2.0 he doesn't detect the vjoy device as input if I press any key but he detects the device xbox 360 controller.

He detects input only for 1-2 inputs after this gimx goes totally crazy and doesn't detect any further input.

Looks like the shield software add a xbox 360 controller device to the pc if I start streaming for the controls (which isn't visible in the joystick device manager) and gimx doesn't know which one it should use.

Still working fine with version <2.0

Maybe you can take a look.

Thx for your work!

Edit: Same with native shield control without any mapping programm running.

Detects a xbox 360 controller as input which works with 1-2 inputs. After this he doesnt detect any input :/

Maybe your change with https://github.com/matlo/GIMX/issues/221 has something to do with this ?

Thanks for reporting this. I opened a new issue: https://github.com/matlo/GIMX/issues/265

I pushed a new config named "PS3_WINDOWS_X360PadXinput_usb.xml" that can be downloaded with the Help>Get Configs menu in gimx-launcher.

Working with this config, but would be nice if you could fix the vjoy support in the future.

Thx for the fast update.

Gimx always receives the controller events before the vjoy events, which is why vjoy events can't be detected in gimx-config and gimx-fpsconfig.

I think this is not really a problem since you can fix the dead zone with GIMX.
