gamepad not working with emulator
by hedron from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6F8MP)
The emulators in question: Nestopia(jollygood version) and Fceux. (Also, retroarch with yabause, but nevermind that it will just complicate)
Fceux had been working fine, but today it decided it doesn't want to recognize my gamepad. I deleted ~/.fceux, but the problem persists. No input from the gamepad is recognized within the fceux program. Not in the settings, are attempting to configure it, and running the game, the game doesn't respond from input. Keyboard input works perfect.
I installed jollygood with nestopia, and it works....sort of
Code:i: Core: nestopia (Nestopia JG 1.52.0)
i: Video: OpenGL 3.3.0 NVIDIA 470.199.02
i: Audio: 48000Hz Mono, Speex 3
w: Input configuration file not found: /home/madmax/.config/jollygood/input_nes.ini
i: Emulated Input 1: nespad1, Controller 1, 0 axes, 10 buttons
i: Emulated Input 2: nespad2, Controller 2, 0 axes, 10 buttons
i: Emulated Input 3: unconnected, Unconnected, 0 axes, 0 buttons
i: Emulated Input 4: unconnected, Unconnected, 0 axes, 0 buttons
i: Emulated Input 5: unconnected, Unconnected, 0 axes, 0 buttons

cat /dev/input/js0 and cat /dev/input/js1 both recognize input from respective controller. I disconnected js1 to simplify troubleshooting. But while it does recognize input, it cuts off abruptly. Like so:
Code:cat /dev/input/js0

cat: /dev/input/js0: No such deviceLast time I played games on a linux machine was 10+ years ago, and I don't remember having these issues. Also remember different emulators that worked much better. Although, that was before system d. But I don't want this thread to turn into that discussion. Thanks.
I have a gut feeling rebooting will solve the problem, but I'm too autistic to do that and I MUST find out what's causing this.
