While SDL1 defaults to evdev interface you can force it to use the old Joystick API by setting the environment variable SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0. Most new games will default to the evdev interface as it gives more detailed information about the buttons and axes available and also adds support for force feedback. Symbolic links to those devices are also available in /dev/input/by-id/ and /dev/input/by-path/ where the legacy Joystick API has names ending with -joystick while the evdev have names ending with -event-joystick.

dev/input/jsX maps to the Joystick API interface and /dev/input/event* maps to the evdev ones (this also includes other input devices such as mice and keyboards). Linux has two different input systems for gamepads – the original Joystick interface and the newer evdev-based interface. (Discuss in Talk:Gamepad#Joystick API vibration support) EDIT - because I've configured everything separately for each game and set up the emulators to load the game-specific config on launch.Reason: Need info about differences between API, how to switch between them. No messing with the controller settings in either Steam nor Dolphin nor PCSX2 was needed. "C:\Games\Emulators\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe" /b /e "C:\Games\Emulator Roms\Nintendo Gamecube\007 Nightfire\007 Nightfire.iso Here's an example batch file that I use for Dolphin: With Dolphin the set up is almost identical except all I did was check the box labelled "render to main window" in the graphics settings. I use seperate settings for each game and keep them in separate folders.

The -cfgpath swtich is there to load a specific set of INI files for this game. When run, this will load PCSX2, load the ROM for Black and start the game. I put that into a text file and saved it as a.

Here's an example:Ĭ:\Games\Emulators\PCSX2\pcsx2.exe "C:\Games\Emulator Roms\Playstation 2\Black\Black.iso" -cfgpath="C:\Games\Emulator Launcher\Configs\PS2\Black" -fullscreen -nogui My setup is a bit complicated - I have batch files for each of my PCSX2 and Dolphin ROMs that will launch the appropriate emulator and start the game automatically.
