HakureiSM is an idiot-I MEAN I can't get my fighstick to work with IaMP

[HakureiSM]

I just went through the 12 pages and couldn't find anyone as dumb as me with this issue so

Basically I plugged the controller to the USB, PC was very nice in recognizing it as an X360 controller as it should, then I tried to map the IaMP controls in config_e.exe to whatever buttons I wish to use, but it didn't work

what do/

edit: oh and I just tried SWR, windows isn't recognizing the directionals either, it sees them as superior angle view buttons or smth
redit: yeah, that seems to be the problem
WIndows won't see them goddamn directionals properly

what do/

[orinrin]

Are you using the default Microsoft drivers?  Most doujin games tend to not work with the POV hat.  Use XBCD and remap the stick to use the X and Y axis.


Edit: I should probably provide instructions as to how to do this.  One moment please.


Edit 2: What stick are you using?

[HakureiSM]

It's a Paewang Revolution.
The games are receiving all buttons well actually, except for the directionals and LT/L2 and RT/R2, which it recognizes as analogs when they're uh, not.

I think the whole problem is that the computer is seeing it as a X360 controller, and from what I can make out from the manual(it's in korean marsrunes) it shouldn't. Even the button order isn't right(due to LT and RT being taken for analogs)

I use a combination of XBCD and Xpadder to get things to work on Touhou. Unfortunately, Xpadder decided to charge for their product at some point so you'll have to find some sort of alternative button mapping software.

wait what

That must've been pretty recent, it was free when I got it some time between March and May.

EDIT: Damn, they do.  There goes my suggestion.  :ohdear:

[HakureiSM]

I downloaded and installed XBCD, but all the options are grey and I can't do anything?

LT and RT are analog, it's just that the voltage is such that it will always be 50% in either direction (they're both technically on the same axis for Xinput purposes).

Anyway: unplug it, hold down turbo, plug it into your PC.  From now on it should should work fine on the PC/PS3, don't bother holding down turbo when plugging it in unless you want to use it on the 360.

[HakureiSM]

Ooooh I thought I had read something about selecting modes with the turbo before buying them, I didn't remember hurr

Also that explains why the manual has a different bunch of crazy symbols paragraph for the 360 and PC/PS3. That's probably what it says there,
Oh hey cool, Windows now sees it as a generic arcade stick, which is nice :V
Thanks a lot, man

But uh, it still sees the directionals wrong.

It's entirely possible that it's only sending the movements as the controller's d-pad (check the game controller properties in the control panel, it'll be the POV hat).  Most asian games only look for left stick movement, and from what I've found while playing around with SWR/12.3 is that you can't easily make the game work with Joy2Key (and possibly Xpadder) because they'll ignore keyboard input once they see that you've pressed a button on the arcade stick.

The workaround for this (and it's so annoying that I wouldn't do it) is to enable POV hat input in Joy2Key, map it to the controls in IaMP (don't use IaMP's utility for this), and do everything outside of a match with the keyboard.  Once the fight starts the game should let you move your character with the stick  :V

that's what I'm trying to say all along but I lack the language skills to put it properly it seems

... so no other way to change this?
Wtf asia, the controller is asian D:

Maybe the Koreans just hate the Japanese so much that they don't want you to even play Japanese games with their hardware :V

Spoiler:

I kid, I kid.

As for me, I use a MadCatz TE stick with the XBCD driver.  Given the inconveniences of going that route (for starters, I can't just bring my stick a friend's place and play on their PC), I plan on modding my stick with a Cthulhu PCB.  It'll cover PC/PS3 support, and joystick movements are sent as d-pad + left stick.

For you, XBCD might be the only practical (and cheap) option right now...I'll just copy this from an old post:



I'm using XBCD 0.2.7, and I had to edit the INF file to add my stick.  This also assumes you've done the prerequisites for installing the drivers on Vista/Win7 (disable UAC, use DSEO to sign driver and enable test mode so they can be installed).  With XBCD my stick looks like this:



Note that I have it set to LS because crosshair on the X/Y-axis graphic is moved.  If I set it to RS that causes the meters to the right of it to change (X and Y rotation).  With the standard Microsoft drivers all I had was the POV hat and buttons.

One thing I should mention is that before the stick will work in PoFV you need to enter the key config options and change it to PAD1.  And can you post a screenshot of the device manager window for your stick like this:



Make sure it is set to "Hardware Ids", because what is in that window is necessary to make the drivers work with the stick.  Ignore the yen symbols, those are actually backslashes :]

[HakureiSM]

Um yeah, dusty is trying to help me set up XBCD here. For like, an hour and half.

Shit won't work. Everything's set but it acts like it's stuck up-left, and none of the other buttons work
Wtf how can it be so hard



edit: hurr nvm calibrated on windows
brb testing


edit: yeah it worked :<
Thanks you all, especially Barraketh :V

[dustyjo]

Hooray~

[HakureiSM]

You too, but I thanked you personally so
