RULLUR Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 So I just wanna be clear on that mouse cursor glitch that it still is happening even when I close LaunchBox. Gonna try do a reset and see if that helps it or not
RULLUR Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Okay..so the glitch is no more after a restart..but still nothing when it comes to Remapping..especially the Home/Guide Button

When we tackle that, I'll make sure to cover this. As for right now, though, doing that properly would require tracking controllers separately, and currently they're all combined, so I can't really make that happen until we do that restructuring. Trackball support is completely separate code than game controllers, so unfortunately no, it's not something I can slip in right now. I actually have a version of the code in progress for trackball support for Big Box, but it proved to be more extensive than I had originally thought, and sadly it hasn't seemed to garner a whole lot of interest so I haven't been back to it as of yet. thanks for the reply. I can wait 1

Using DS4Windows. I looked into this; DS4Windows will give you options for three different controllers in LaunchBox: XInput (Xbox 360/Xbox One) Controller (XBOX 360 for Windows) Wireless Controller #3 is there and works properly via DirectInput even with DS4Windows not running. #1 works properly via XInput simulation, which is the one I would recommend using. #2, however, does not work properly. It's apparently simulating an Xbox controller via DirectInput, and something isn't working as expected. The issue is that if you select to Use All Controllers, it attempts to use all three. It should work fine if you uncheck that and select one of the other two. I'll see if I can just disable #2.

Jason Carr Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 Beta 4 is out now with a hopeful fix for PS4 controllers with DS4Windows, when "Use All Controllers" is checked. Everything is working properly for me now in that case, in my testing. This may also possibly fix the issues with controller input over the Steam Link, but I'm not sure about that. If anyone uses that scenario and can test, I'd appreciate it. As far as I am aware at this point, controller input over the Steam Link is the last remaining issue with the controller overhaul. 1

On PC it reads off the buttons the same as a 360 or XBO Controller though. I have 2 of them say my Wife @Haydee can play along with me too. Funny how the triggers and shoulder buttons look straight off an XBO Controller too. I feel it's like the best controller ever made and the only thing that would make it better is if it had 6-Buttons for things like N64, Saturn, Genesis, and so on. I also have a Wired HORI Fight Commander for PC/360/XBO too that looks like an upgraded Genesis Controller

What is the name of the controller in the drop-down list? Also, have you tried beta 4?

The other options are 2 sets of "Controller (Afterglow Wireless Controller for PS3)". Seems to be no change to where I'm still unable to get things Remapped..especially with the Home/Guide button Edited September 23, 2019 by RULLUR
TheNewClassics Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Still not accepting any inputs with DS4 on Beta 4. Was I supposed to change a setting somewhere?

Not sure what we're gonna do about that at this point.
TheNewClassics Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I'm using Use All Controllers. In terms of what is showing up, it shows descriptions number 1 and 3 like you stated above. Edited September 23, 2019 by TheNewClassics
Jason Carr Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 2 minutes ago, TheNewClassics said: I'm using Use All Controllers. Try unselecting it to see if that fixes the issue. It may be a stray controller or something that is interfering. Uncheck it and let me know what all you see in the drop down.
TheNewClassics Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Ah, so you're right. I unchecked it and set it to Xinput. It now works with the input mapper. But when I recheck it, it doesn't. I have a device called Blissbox (https://bliss-box.net/) which has 4 separate ports ("4 PLAY PORT.1, 2, etc.) and I was under the impression it functioned as a DInput. Guess I'm a little confused why it's interfering. The device has always worked with LB/BB to this point. Edited September 23, 2019 by TheNewClassics

Guess I'm a little confused why it's interfering. Ugh, okay. So the issue is that DirectInput-based devices are horribly inconsistent with how they report their status. In order for me to be able to detect when a stick or a trigger is moved, I have to know when it's not being touched, and when it's being moved (of course). Unfortunately, there are apparently some DirectInput devices that don't behave as expected. For example, no movement for one device might be 0, while 0 might mean pressing up with another device, so it's somewhat of a nightmare. I wanted to avoid making the user have to calibrate every single device, but at this point I don't really know what else to do. It's possible that I can still make it all work by disabling the triggers and the right stick for DirectInput devices, as those are what seem to cause issues, but then of course DirectInput devices won't work at all with the right stick or triggers.
Jason Carr Posted September 23, 2019 Author Posted September 23, 2019 The reason why XInput was developed by Microsoft in the first place was because of these horrible inconsistency issues with DirectInput. But if we only supported XInput, people probably wouldn't like that too much.

I personally only use xinput, i have a couple of controllers that will do xinput and dinput, but i always use xinput as "it just works" on Windows.
TheNewClassics Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Makes sense. I appreciate you looking into it, fortunately it's a minor inconvenience and just about everything else still works. To add to this, I figured out a fix for my problem. I had a GC controller plugged into my blissbox. I unplugged it and then tried the mapper, and it works well. An easy workaround! Edited September 23, 2019 by TheNewClassics 1
deliyuerek85 Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I have a strange Problem with DS4Windows now. When I disconnect my controller and reconnect it, BigBox doesn't recognize the controller any more. Even if I restart BigBox. I need to restart my computer to get it work again. Despite that, everything is working fine so far. I am using an standard PS4 controller. Edited September 23, 2019 by deliyuerek85
