Usb Arcade Controller Interface - Axis problem

Hello sweet Arch user!
I have funny little problem I can’t see to solve myself, and I have searched the forum and the rest of the Net for solutions.

I got a Joystick/control-panel interface used in a homemade Arcade Cabinet. It got 4 axis (2x4 microswitches) and 22 buttons and is connected with USB.

It shows up as a joystick and is working perfectly in Windows XP / Debian (stable) / Archbang (Iso 2011/11). But the problem is when I use an up-to-date Arch version.

The 2 joysticks only works with DOWN and RIGHT, and nothing happens when I
Try UP or LEFT.

Tried jscal, jstest and cat /dev/input/js0, and the only thing that isn’t showing any event is LEFT and UP. In the other distros I got a negative value on these directions running jstest.

Any ideas what I can do? I still would like to use Arch for this Cabinet.
The only module loaded is joydev.

The Controller interface is made by Xin-Mo

Re: Usb Arcade Controller Interface - Axis problem

Hello

I'm having the exact same problem.

I'm using a "PC (MAME) / PS3 to Arcade Controller USB Interface PCB Kit" http://www.jammaboards.com/store/pc-mam … a-usb.html

It also works perfectly on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

This is the closest thing I've seen as a fix, but my knowledge doesn't allow me to know how to implement on my system
https://github.com/robmcmullen/hid-atari-retrobit

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
-Mike
