Just a bit confused about mapping my controller

[NicholasRyanH]

Hypseus Config Value Calc says "PS4 Controller," and gives the example of KEY_QUIT = SDLK_ESCAPE 0 005 for Button 005.

In hypinput.ini I've made an entry that says KEY_COIN1 = 0 0 005 but that doesn't seem to work. Tried loading with and without -gamepad in the command line.

FYI, using a Mac on Apple Silicon.

Any tips on how to get mapping to work? Thank you!

To be fair my exposure to Mac's is limited, even less so on their joystick and game controller abilities.

However, if SDL is seeing the button correctly in hypjsch then hypseus should read it as such.

Using the above Joystick API config, you should not use -gamepad

What does the hypseus log state when loading the .ini file, any errors ?

Maybe post your full config .ini and log too.

You could also try switching to the GameController API config, eg here - for which you would need to use the gamepad argument.

Ah, got it working! Had to use -gamepad, then just set my ini to:

BUTTON_DPAD_UP = 12
BUTTON_DPAD_DOWN = 13
BUTTON_DPAD_LEFT = 14
BUTTON_DPAD_RIGHT = 15

Thank you!
