[Linux] EMS Triolinker Plus II detected but not working about retroarch HOT 8 OPEN

Which joypad driver did you use maybe udev ?

Did you try other joypad driver linuxraw or sdl2 ?

Also can you give the output of lsusb ?

Thank you.

I tried to find how to get these infos, but I don't find anything relevant. How can I check for this?

And while i'm at it, here's what i got with cat /proc/bus/input/devices

jstest also says the "driver version is 2.1.0" without telling me what driver it's talking about.

Thanks.

Thank you for the information.

Did you check in Settings tab > Drivers > Controller ?

It should be working on Linux, I have found this information about Linux kernel.

Ok I checked and i was using udev indeed.

Though, I tried with all the other ones (sdl2, parport and linuxraw) and none of them worked either. (linuxraw doesn't even work with my working xbox one pad)

And yes, the triolinker works. jstest and the original Dolphin Emulator replies to it. It even works with supertuxkart. Only retroarch ignores it. Which is why i reported it here.

Can you check which driver is used for the joypad for Dolphin and SuperTuxKart, I presume SDL2 ?

So if you select SDL2 driver in RA, and you try to bind your controller it does not detected anything ?

from retroarch.

On dolphin it says evdev/0/EMS TrioLinker Plus II. I'm not sure if evdev is the name of a driver. I can't find anything else from there. For supertuxkart i have no idea either. I think supertux (the platformer) uses sdl and it detects the pad too.

On retroarch, the Triolinker itself is detected and the name appears. But no input detected from any buttons or sticks, either in "config all" or configure keys individually. I also tried with and without the memory card (in case it would change anything for some odd reason) but no changes.

from retroarch.

Will it possible to get some log when using udev and sdl2 controller driver ?

from retroarch.

Here's the logs I got, using sdl2, then udev. I've launched it with --verbose but it looks like there's not much. Is there an "even more verbose" option eventually ?

retroarch.udev.log
retroarch.sdl.log

thanks.
