Controlling XBMC with a PS3 controller.
I finally got RetroPie up and running on Xbian. Lots of little issue's along the way (getting sound working was one). Now I would like to control XBMC via my PS3 controller, which is already working in Xbian over usb. I tried creating a keymap.xml is ".xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml" but it still it not working. Controller works fine in emulationstation/retroarch. i got the ps3 config from the xbmc wiki.
Code: <keymap> I got the name of my generic PS3 controller using the following command. Code: cat /proc/bus/input/devices Code: I: Bus=0003 Vendor=054c Product=0268 Version=0111 Code: <keymap> What do I need to do to get this PS3 controller working in XBMC? Off topic quetion. I stopped XBMC from starting on boot, but how do I set emulationstation to start on boot? |

A little more info. I ran the following command to show all input from the controller.
Code: jstest /dev/input/js0 I have uploaded the log file from xbmc. |

RE: Controlling XBMC with a PS3 controller.
I think it's because XBMC may have been compiled without joystick support?

RE: Controlling XBMC with a PS3 controller.
I compiled XBMC Gotham with --enable-joystick, to install (frodo didn't compile)
Code: wget http://dikonist.asuscomm.com:82/XBian/APT/pool/main/x/xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly/xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly_2.9-10.3_armhf.deb Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |

RE: Controlling XBMC with a PS3 controller.
I am also interested in controlling XBMC using a gamepad. Has there been any progress in this matter? Is that option enabled in Gotham?

RE: Controlling XBMC with a PS3 controller.
@woonx
it is not. with default XBMC config files joystick triggers SDL requirement and SDL -> X11. and this messes with windowing system . last time I tried I got XBMC compile, Joystick was declared as supported but it was'nt. if anyone knows combo/patch to make this work, post it.
