Our custom ini will map the X-Arcade to the same buttons layout as an Xbox controller in Windows. This means that any game you play that has an Xbox controller option will work with no additional setup needed. Using the Xinput Test or HTML5 Gamepad Tester you can see if your controllers are assigned to the proper players, typically you would want them as players 1 and 2 if you don't also have any other gamepads connected to the PC. Changing the controller player assignments is unfortunately not easy to do manually, so if yours are set incorrectly you will want to do one of the following:.

If you're a little technical it's pretty straightforward stuff. The general idea is this. Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch. That pretty much covers all the hairpullingout of the last few weeks.
The result is very nice though. I hope you make one also! Sponsor: Check out Seq : simple centralized logging, on your infrastructure, with great support for ASP. NET Core and Serilog.

You're only as useful as the shortest cable between these two.
PS2 keyboard - Yes, PS2. I picked one up at Goodwill or a local Thrift Shop. You'll need this to program the X-Arcade Tankstick. You change its mode switch, press a button on the controller while simultaneously pressing a key on the PS2 keyboard.

I've been putting off doing this. How do I get it to find the correct name for this? Turns out i was only connecting the mouse ball, not the joysticks with the DB9 to usb connector. Working great now. I followed the directions, and both sticks work now. Needless to say, this is a problem, and I would love some help with this. Basically I Uninstalled the script and the driver, and used it as a keyboard, then manually adjusted the retroarch configuration files in each emulator folder.
I was able to get around this by modifying the retroarch. Key to exit RetroArch cleanly. I don;t use disqus as much as I used to. But thank you very much! I ran into the same problem with a Pi3 on Latest Retropie over the weekend. Fixed it by adding a keyboard to the retropie configuration and mapping buttons 1 and 2 to select and start, I then hacked the Xarcade2Jstick code to send 1 and 2 when the select and start buttons are pressed.
Still works once the keyboard is removed you just add it so that you can setup the key bindins in retroPie. Does this work under RetroPie 3. Any help would be appreciated. Would love to see this TankStick support built-in to RetroPie.
I used the git command to snag it. It recognizes both sides now, but it leads to a different problem. I disconnected the Xbox controllers and now I have the xgaming tankstick connected.
Raspberry Pi 2 with retropie recognizes the tankstick and it works with NES and other consoles. Any idea how to enable this just for libretro-based emulators? Perhaps an option to runcommand. I have a Raspberry Pi 2 running RetroPie 2. When I rebooted, it now recognizes two gamepads, but it wants me to configure them Press Up, Down, etc. What am I doing wrong? Do I even need to configure them? Do you have an Xarcade Tankstick connected to the RPi? Or some other model?
That might also be a cause for what you observe …. It worked fine. I selected a ROM and went into the game. Once in the game, none of the other buttons worked — Player 1, Player 2, etc. I was not able to insert a coin or start a game. I hooked the USB keyboard back up to the Pi and was able to use the buttons on the keyboard to insert coins 5 and start a game 1. As a side note, once I was in the game, the joysticks were great.
It definitely had the arcade feel. Do u know if there is a way to get the tankstick trackball to work with golden tee in advmame?
I can go back and forth but it is really jerky and the cursor for mouse is always on the screen. Seems like when the cursor get to top or bottom of screen it stops working. Does this work with RetroPie 2. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance. Xarcade2Jstick maps the inputs of the Tankstick to gamepad devices under Linux. That means that you have to re-configure ES for the gamepad devices after switching to Xarcade2Jstick. How do I do that on RetroPie 2. I cannot get the trackball to work at all. I am getting the same problem, the trackball works in scummvm environment just not in mame? Ok, so I tried the commands above and got zilch, said there was no such thing as the link you have posted.
Is there someplace else that this is hosted? So…I got it, I think. Now I just have to hook up the controller and actually try it. If anyone else has got this to work emulationstation control and in the individual emulators I could probably use some help. Great work — thanks! I did run into some probs: ran though the install directions for Xarcade2Jstick and it it now works for certain systems arcade , but not for others.
Additionally, are there any ideas for hotkeys on the tankstick? Thanks again. So there should be no need for running the auto-config from within the Setup Script again. It might be overwritten now, though. Seems like only only the arcade and master systems work. Others resort back to the keyboard controls. Tried that and then running the install commands again for Xarcade2Jstick but no luck.
Any ideas? The RetroArch-based emulators e. I recently picked up an X-Arcade dual stick 2 player, not the tank stick and have been having some config issues.
I attempted to use the Xarcade2Jstick, but that did not appear to work for the dual stick controller.
Additionally, configuring this seems rather troublesome on its own. I have most buttons working, but it is not perfect yet. I have seen other posts from you or another mod , such as the post below, looking for help to possibly extend Xarcade2Jstick to support the dual stick and I would be happy to help.
Another question though: I do see the Xarcade-to-GamepadDevice. Yes, the settings in Xarcade-to-GamepadDevice. However, this is only a RetroArch function and works only, e. You can see that this function is working when starting a ROM and the emulator says on the bottom screen that it is using Xarcade-to-….
