I've recently install Mednafen and I can get games to load fine but I can't get the button configuration to come up. ALT + SHIFT + [n] doesn't seem to work.

I've been told you can edit the controls in the mednafen-09x.cfg file but I've looked in the file and there is a lot of different controller setting and I can't find the playstation controller settings.

Please help (:

Hi:

I'm not sure w/o seeing the configuration file what you would choose or uncomment.

I've never configured a PS controller before sorry. However here's some links that could help.

IF Alt+Shift+1 isn't allow you to set the controls maybe go to the config file look for the argument "psx.input.port1"and change gamepad to DualShock.
IF that doesn't help change it back to what it was.

If you can post the output of the config file we can take a look at it and maybe make some sense of it.
I will at least try to in the effort to help you.

-::-Look in the PS Forum.-::-
There might be a few Linux users that say how they set up the controls.

Thanks for the links unfortunately I've been through them all already. For some reason the default keyboard input doesn't work (maybe the keyboard keycodes don't match up with my UK keyboard).

When you say change gamepad to DualShock do you mean in the lines of code looking like this:
;psx, Virtual Port 1, Digital Gamepad: ○ (right)
psx.input.port1.gamepad.circle keyboard 100

to

;psx, Virtual Port 1, Digital DualShock: ○ (right)
psx.input.port1.dualshock.circle keyboard 100




There seems to be settings for both the gamepad and the DualShock. These are the settings I found:

;psx, Virtual Port 1, DualShock: Analog(mode toggle)

That's a lot of settings.

Maybe try another keyboard if you have another one around.

I had hoped that it would work. I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Maybe other members will see your thread and chime in to help.
