[Fenix] Can you explain the joystick to me?

[MisterN]

Can you explain the joystick to me?
like I know you can make custom buttons (then when pressed, actually press the real button its set to lol) like this

Code Select Expand

__A = _control;
__B = _alt;
__SELECT = _space;
__START = _enter;
__R = _tab;
__L = _backspace;

what can I do for joystick commands then?

get_joy_position(0)= returns the state of the X axis of the analog pad (from -128 to 128 ).

get_joy_position(1)= returns the state of the Y axis of the analog pad (from -128 to 128 ).

get_joy_button(1)= returns the state of the B button (0 if unpressed and 1 if it's pressed).

get_joy_button(2)= returns the state of the A button (0 if unpressed and 1 if it's pressed).

get_joy_button(3)= returns the state of the START button (0 if unpressed and 1 if it's pressed).

get_joy_button(5)= returns the state of the Y button.

get_joy_button(6)= returns the state of the X button.

so can you create for me an example? thankls

Well, the first thing is a bit awkward to do, but I think what you want is "input abstraction". Or basically user defined keys/joystick buttons.

I have created my own input hander for malvado that abstracts user input events to a layer that deals with keyboard and joystick input. It's a bit similair to the jkeys lib. Joystick buttons have to be scanned in a loop. Maybe this joytest program clarifies the working of the joystick system: http://wiki.bennugd.org/index.php?title=Tutorial:Joystick_tester.

[MisterN]

no? I just want for example

__X to be the x button on the joystick and so forth because that exact code is the controller commands for the dreamcast, and i just got the game to work at full 100% speed. lololol

[handsource-dyko]

Here's a 3 part example of malvado's input system, it's perhaps a little much, but it shows how to map up to 10 joysticks/gamepads, and keyboard inputs to more general events. So for instance, the joyaction() function (wich is called from a loop) scans for a particair action to be true, depending the value of the action, the function checks if a certain key or joystickbutton is pressed.

So, let's assume the user hits the up key on the keyboard, the value of action is 1, (1=up), joyaction detects that it is 1 during it's loop, then it executes CASE up, wich checks if it was a key on the keyboard or the joybutton. If no key or button is pressed, the action returns false (action=0). The other routines are more related to selecting and configuring the joystick system, the joyaction function is th core part of the whole thing. But, it is very important that joyaction is constantly called from loop in the calling process. The CONST part contains symbolic names for the action numbers. I've also taken the WIZ and Cannoo buttons into account, of course it can be easily extended to support dreamcast controls. The values for the WIZ and Cannoo buttons where looked upon from splinters jkeys.lib.

[MisterN]

I like read it but i didnt understnad that at all lol.

If you map a control to a key, then every controller uses that command. if you map it to a joy stick with select_joy(); then only that controller uses that command

[SplinterGU]

Can you explain the joystick to me?
like I know you can make custom buttons (then when pressed, actually press the real button its set to lol) like this

Code Select Expand

__A = _control;
__B = _alt;
__SELECT = _space;
__START = _enter;
__R = _tab;
__L = _backspace;

what can I do for joystick commands then?

get_joy_position(0)= returns the state of the X axis of the analog pad (from -128 to 128 ).

get_joy_position(1)= returns the state of the Y axis of the analog pad (from -128 to 128 ).

get_joy_button(1)= returns the state of the B button (0 if unpressed and 1 if it's pressed).

get_joy_button(2)= returns the state of the A button (0 if unpressed and 1 if it's pressed).

get_joy_button(3)= returns the state of the START button (0 if unpressed and 1 if it's pressed).

get_joy_button(5)= returns the state of the Y button.

get_joy_button(6)= returns the state of the X button.

so can you create for me an example? thankls

BennuGD? or Fenix?

[MisterN]

fenix, and did you get that emulator to work right?

[SplinterGU]

I recommend you to clarify your doubts are for Fenix, because they put the codes do not work for Fenix.

sorry, I have not had time to try the emulator, yet... I'm very complicated time and very tired.

[MisterN]

I recommend you to clarify your doubts about Fenix, because alot of the codes do not work.

sorry, I have not had time to try the emulator, yet... My time is very complicated right now so not yet.

fixed

[SplinterGU]

I mean, the handsource-dyko's code don't works in Fenix, is for BennuGD.

Is very hard get help for Fenix, because Fenix is obsolete... and have lot of bugs and wrong behavior in some issues.

[MisterN]

until bennu comes to dreamcast, thats what I have to code first. then once the dreamcast engine is done, then i will do it on bennu and linux.

[SplinterGU]

sure, I understand you...

please, when you ask for Fenix support, add the word "Fenix" in the title post.

[MisterN]

Ok, if you ever work on bennu, the #1 thing to work on is getting unload to work.
