Joystick (USB)

Joystick (USB)

[fixertechno]

Hi, i compiled the latest testing version 1.1.3.2 and have put the new
dosemu.conf joystick info into the config

It's a USB joystick but i've symlinked it to (/dev/js0) and it doesn't
recognize the joystick from DosEmu.

The joystick is recognized with other programs.

I've tried both /dev/js0 and /dev/input/js0 in the configuration, and
neither will detect it.

Any ideas on what I should do would be much appreciated.

(cant get sound either but that could be anything.  if i chose the sound
blaster option in a dos game, it does think theres a sound blaster, only
theres no sound being output.)

Could you please run dosemu with the options -D9j -O and give me the output?

I think there are some sound patches at dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas but I 
haven't tried them myself.

Thanks!

My dosemu.conf file has the following joystick settings

$_joy_device = "/dev/input/js0"

                        # ("" if you don't want an emulated joystick)

and, heres the dmesg info about my joystick

did you try updating your global.conf too?
copy it from the etc directory to where the old one is (probably either
/var/lib/dosemu/ or ~/dosemu/conf)

no, i neglected to do that.  the problem does remain though, with the
added bonus of the following:

So what are the messages before "joy_reset() CALLED!"?
Do you still get the same messages?

Hmm, this indicates that your program is trying to read from the joystick but 
dosemu still didn't detect your joystick.

Could you please give me the debugging output starting from "JOY: joy_init() 
[unthreaded] CALLED!" because that output is still quite important in 
diagnosing the problem.

Thanks again!

ostensibly so, yes.

this still hints at a configuration problem. Try -D+c and look for a
line like this:
CONF: Parsing /home/enbeo/dosemu/conf/global.conf file. 

this global.conf should have this somewhere:
    ## joystick settings
    joystick_emu { joy_device $_joy_device joy_dos_min $_joy_dos_min
               joy_dos_max $_joy_dos_max joy_granularity $_joy_granularity }


if I then have this in dosemu.conf:
$_joy_device = "/dev/js0 /dev/js1"       # 1st and 2nd joystick device
                        # ("" if you don't want an emulated joystick)
                        # e.g. "/dev/js0" or "/dev/js0 /dev/js1"
                        #
$_joy_dos_min = (1)     # range for joystick axis readings, must be > 0
$_joy_dos_max = (150)   # avoid setting this to > 250
$_joy_granularity = (1) # the higher, the less sensitive - 
                        # useful if you have a wobbly joystick

even without a joystick I get the following:

JOY: joy_init() [unthreaded] CALLED!
JOY: joystick range: 1-150 (150)
JOY: joystick granularity: 1
JOY: joystick 0x0: ERROR! can't open "/dev/js0"
JOY: joystick 0x1: ERROR! can't open "/dev/js1"
JOY: WARNING! No joysticks enabled!
JOY: joy_reset() CALLED!
JOY: joy_exist() returning value 0

actually -D+c solved it all for me by telling me that dosemu was finding
another global.conf in a directory i barely remembered creating, so I
updated that and it works perfectly.  thanks!
