Can't get Logitech F310 Gamepad to work with AmigaOne X5K

EDIT #2. Success. Appears my AmigaInput was not saving for some reason even though I clicked safe. I went through all 4 calibrations and seems to be working in the two games I tried.

THANKS ALL!

EDIT... added this video.



Let me start by saying I have never used or had any joystick or gamepad installed and working on my AmigaOne X5K.

Also, I am upgraded to Update 3 as well.

On good authority I purchased the Logitech F310 Gamepad as a good working with both AmigaOS 4.1 games and also RunInUAE games as well.

AmigaInput sees the new controller and I can move the D Pad and it move the calibration tool but I can't get any games to work with the controller.

I tried a couple games like Santa's Monster Shootout which is a simple left, right, shoot. The shoot button shoots BUT no D Pad to move the Santa.

In RunInUAE games nothing as well.

Setting issue?

I tried front case usb as well as top row on motherboard too.

Is my X5K just being a turnip? lol

Anyone here use a gamepad with Update 3? Maybe new USB stack issue?

Well, let's sort things out.

I have a "Logitech RumblePad 2" (seems to be a predecessor of the F 310) which worked prior to Update 3 and works after updating to Update 3.

Lets look at Santa's Monster Shootout, you're saying that the shoot button works but you can't move.

Have you tried the following?

- Try to move Santa with the left analog stick
- Press the "MODE" Button on the Joypad once and check if either the D-Pad or the left analog stick moves Santa

@IamSONIC

I will make a video later in hopes someone can see what may be going wrong.

Before posting I tried many things with and without the D Mode on and off.

It should need the D mode so most tests were done there.

With D Mode on the closest any of the movement pads do is stop the Santa from moving automatically to the right and stops him.

When you play the game from keyboard and press left arrow he changes body direction so you can shoot behind you, etc...

That never happens when using the gamepad. It is all move to the right or stop and stay pointing right.

I also tried AmigaRacer and fire button steps on the pedal I guess and the game starts but no left and right from any D Pad or other controller units in or not in D mode.

Only thing that works is fire in the few games I tried.

Zero left and right or up and down.

In AmigaInput it sees all movement direction from the D Pad as it seems it should.

Just no games seem to see that.

A video of what I am experience.

I will also add this to the 1st post too.

@AmigaSociety

I have F310, it works in 'D' mode. Have you tested this pad on some other system, Windows for example?

@Capehill

I don't have a Windows computer but Mac. Wonder if I can test on a Mac or Ubuntu computer although I have no games on either. haha

Let me see if I can test on one of them and see.

@AmigaSociety

When it works on another Computer it could also be related to the Calibration within AmigaInput.

When i had issues like that i backed up or renamed the following directory:
SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys/AmigaInput
unplugged the Joypad, rebooted and performed Calibration again.

Regarding your Question in your Video about the Lowlevel Library. You only need to configure this for older games obtaining lowlevel.library. But first you should get the D-Pad working properly.

@Capehill

Maybe the joystick is having an issue. I tried several games and 1 had use of the analog stick (it seemed) next to the D Pad but no D Pad at all on any games.

I grabbed a simple game on my Mac and same, no control of a game it said should work with a controller.

Only things that seem to work are Joypad Tester apps. A Tester App sees my F310 and sees all buttons and movement for all things but no games I to use it seem to work or not work fully.

Maybe I will just return the joypad since it just arrived.

I've got a Logitech F310 but you need to run it in D (Direct input Mode) and not X input mode in AmigaOS. There is a switch on the reverse to switch between the two.

The mode next to the left shift button should toggle the analog and D pad mode.

@outrun1978

Yes, it has been in this mode. I show that in the video as well. hehe

I tried all sorts of things to get it to work.

Only place it seems to hit on all pistons is AmigaInput. Acts as though directions and buttons work. But in game use, nothing works.

I will try renaming my SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys/AmigaInput as noted above as a last try before packing up the gamepad and sending it back to Amazon.

Thanks for the notes.

@AmigaSociety
Try saving the AmigaInput preferences again. I have a logitec F710 wireless controller and it had the same symptoms you describe after I installed update3 on my X1000. Going into AmigaInput and resaving fixed my problem. I can now kill many zombies in Santas Monster Shootout.

Found it. Trying now.

TJ

Doh dummy, forgot to move it back to D on back for this one. I had been trying so many things. haha

And now AmigaInput no longer sees the new USB Gamepad. haha. So can't resave it.

I am powering down and will try again in a bit but seems something aint right. haha

TJ

SUCCESS!

Next up RunInUAE but will test more Amiga OS 4 games 1st.
