Poseidon - Making sense of the Joy to Mouse/Key Assigns...

[XDelusion]

O.K. Now things are all out of whack.

I returned the settings to their default, but now when I load up eUAE, I can use the directional pad fine, but if I hit the left analog, my character gets stuck moving right even though I removed all Joy to Keyboard assigns.

What gives?!?!

I wish this were easy to use and fool proof like the Windows apps of this nature, and I really hate to admit that Windows actually has the Amiga beat on something.

Anyhow, now I can't use my Joystick for ANYTHING. :/

At worst, if you think you misconfigured too much stuff in the HID settings, you can always go in poseidon->config list entry and delete the config item related to your device (or the HID class setting itself), to start on a fresh basis.

I was looking for that feature.

Anyhow, I'll try that when I get home...

...so strange though because I swear I didn't touch anything but what I needed to.

Well, I can assign buttons just fine. I have discovered that much. All I have to do is set them to Raw, then assign an up and down button for each character, etc.

The problem still remains though that if I try to assign the Directional Pad (Hat) to Arrow Keys, that things will get screwed up and you either can not move with the directional PAD (HAT), or movements are assigned to the Left Analog, and do not work as they should, it's as if the right and down arrow keys are ALWAYS On, regardless of the fact that I did indeed assign a Key release command to each input.

Think I'm going to hit up the store and find an analog free controller to test next.

Not exactly sure what you get. But if analog is badly configured by default, it might always signal a left value, for instance. You can easily check that by pressing analog directions and see the current values, and the thresholds configured in poseidon to bind them to left/right/up/down.

It is fine by default, unlike the buttons, all is as it should be. It's just when I try to assign directions to keyboard buttons, that's when things act flaky.
