[hatari-devel] Mapping ST Joy 0 and Joy 1 to different sticks of same SDL controller?

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/hatari-devel Archives ]


Hi all,

ST Llamatron has a twin stick game mode where you can control direction of travel and direction of fire from two different ST joysticks.   Would like to try this out via a single XBox 360 controller on Linux/SDL with ST Joy 0 and Joy 1 mapped to the two thumbsticks, and fire buttons mapped to A and B.

Anyone tried this before/is it already possible somehow via config?   If not, tempted to try a PR to add stick/axes selection to the config and/or UI.

Outside of llamatron other possible usages:
* Accessibility - might be useful to some people to be able to select axis even in single Joy mode (e.g. right thumbstick instead of left)
* there might be some other games using twin sticks for one player (flight sims?),
* At a pinch,  people could play a 2 player game via a single xbox controller (e.g. player1 leftstick+y and player 2 rightstick+a).
* you could take on two player mode in something like ikari warriors from one controller as one person(!)

But llamatron is of course the prime motivation.

Regards, Alex.
