This is awesome, thanks a lot

I notice one issue: while I playing with ps4 controller the TV screen and GamePad screen go dim because the GamePad is not moving, it's annoying

I had this problem. I had to turn off Standby and reduce Burn in in the settings.

got it, you just have to add the mapping you want. here is my .ini to play zelda like config used in dark souls

Cross = action
Circle = run/cancel
Square = Jump
Triangle = Trow
R1 = attack
R2 = Bow
L1 = shield
L2 = Rune

DS4.INI

Code:
[vid=0x054c,pid=0x05c4]

[Gamepad]
VPAD_BUTTON_A = DS4_BUTTON_CROSS
VPAD_BUTTON_B = DS4_BUTTON_CIRCLE
VPAD_BUTTON_X = DS4_BUTTON_SQUARE
VPAD_BUTTON_Y = DS4_BUTTON_R1
VPAD_BUTTON_L = DS4_BUTTON_L2
VPAD_BUTTON_ZL = DS4_BUTTON_L1
VPAD_BUTTON_R = DS4_BUTTON_TRIANGLE

Can someone help me with making a conguration? I'm trying to swap the X and B buttons on the GC controller and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
[vid=0x057e,pid=0x0337]

[gamepad]
VPAD_BUTTON_B = GC_BUTTON_X
VPAD_BUTTON_X = GC_BUTTON_B
edit: I've also tried putting [IgnoreDefault] in and it still loaded the default controls.

Same here, it just doesn't load the .ini for GC adapter :unsure:

Just a quick suggestion. Why is the beta buried on page 34 when it could be in the original post that leads the thread? Past couple of months I thought most recent version was 0.9b from August 2016 when there's a GUI beta from January. It's a great piece of homebrew and should be easily accessible to those that want it :-)

Well that Beta is higly unstable, so featured it on the first post instead of the last stable release wouln't be a good idea.

So this is my first time using this thing and I have a question regarding the left control stick of my DS3. It only goes left and right but not up and down. Any resolution? It's the original so I did not reconfigure the keys or anything.

if you're using 0.9 you need to create an .ini file with the proper configuration and put it inside the controllers folder
if you switch to 0.2 everything will be fine in the default configuration

Thank you. One more question: When it says to create a subolder called controllers, how does it pick it up? I went to customize my keyboard to no avail.

Would it be possible to map buttons to an analog stick and vice-versa?
As in get a DS3 controller and make the XO/\[] buttons correspond to pressing the right analog stick directions, and tilting the right analog stick be recognized as pressing those buttons.

i think thats not useful
normally you use a analog stick to have the possibility to change the intensity of the moving
so if you want to change a button which is read in as a bit has to be converted to 0 or 255 (for each direction min max) or you have to set a level what should be set when pressing the button

i think its not possible with the actual version and wont be a feature for the future ;-)

Yeah that beta is very "experimental" i would say. [That on page 34]
It's getting more stable each day =)
But...
  • some game simply won't detect the pro controller. From the games that have been tested, only single player games (Zelda TP, Shovel Knight...) are affected. Thats not a real problem becazse you can also map the controller to the gamepad (without any functional difference) ~
  • using app from the home menu (Eshop, Browser etc.) will result in a crash. I have an idea what's the problem, but I have no idea how this could be fixed... Sorry.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
