Dolphin joystick issue - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Issue with the joystick alignment.
For some reason whatever I try un installing, reinstalling, clearing cache, clearing data same issue comes up. After I map the controls the joystick isn't aligned properly in the middle causing the cursor to not move all the way down which won't allow me to click certain buttons.
EXAMPLE.
Mario galaxy
I can get past the first few menu setup screens but once I get to the page that says "play file" I the cursor / joystick is out of alignment not allowing me to click the play file button on the screen
It's the same for every wii game
No problems with any other emulator. Gamecube works perfect on the same dolphin.

Problem With PicoDrive Controls?

I use PicoDrive as my megadrive / genesis emulator. The roms run just fine, however there is a problem with the controls... when I go into options, I select a control (up or down for instance), I then press the key I want to use on the slide out keyboard, and this registers on the options. Once i've set all the controls like this I go to play the game, but the controls are all messed up - pressing up makes my character move down, left makes it go right etc. Has anyone else experienced this problem with picodrive?

does no one else have this problem?

Disable shortcut to screen alignment?

First post!! I'm using a snes emulator but having trouble. I can use the volume keys as A & B which is what I want, but whenever I catch the middle d-button while pressing volume-up, it closes the emulator and launches the touchscreen alignment app! Anyone know how to disable this shortcut? Have searched but turning up nothing...
same here
found this topic via google when researching
did you solve this problem yet ?
Nope, still preventing me from getting full Super Mario Kart enjoyment!

Morphgear not Fullscreen?

I've just installed morphgear on my phone and tried to play sega game but it doesnt give me fullscreen game play i just get a little screen in the middle and a really small controll pad. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Yes, you can play in fullscreen mode. Play a bit with the options, I did and I played with fullscreen. About the control pad, you need to download some customized pad (morph gear allows this) so that it fits with the screen size. However, you will need to deal with a big issue: no multitouch for control pad. You won't be able to use directional pad and pres a fire button at the same time. If you find a solution for this, please post here...
Hi, look by Sega Options. There would be a Screen Size Option. Choose there Auto Scale.. then you would have a fullscreen.
Morphgear multitouch problem
Hey montag09, the workaround this is to use both the screen touch function (for example to move) and the hard keys as jump or shot for example. (I'm using centre key).
I would like to make the controller area bigger though...
Still need to find that...

Does Pocketnester work with Dash 3G Trackball?

Hi guys I just upgraded my Dash to 3g. I installed pocketnester and when I play mario the only way he walks or runs is to keep scrolling the trackball. Can I use the trackball with pocketnester or do I have to assign buttons? Is there any other emulator out there that may support a trackball or a application to edit the trackball? Before I purchased I thought that if you just hold the trackball in one direction the object will keep moving. Thanks
The trackball actually emulates standard directional key presses. 2 or 3 quick swipes (configurable via the trackball control panel) will trigger "repeat mode".
The Snap is unfortunately a poor choice for emulation, unless you can remap the directional keys to keyboard keys.
bubble's right -- The trackball just emulates rapid directional button presses. However, you CAN assign the NES d-pad directions to keyboard buttons on the Snap/Dash 3G, as I have, and it's not bad. You may have to remap depending on the game you play, but it's not that hard. I play NES games on my Dash 3G constantly, and I don't have any control issues.
If you want to try the trackball, however, you CAN assign buttons to it. It's nearly unplayable, though.

Could you provide some details on how to assign buttons? Also, what emulator are you using?
Many thanks.

How to get LG Expo keys to work in FpseCE and MorphGear

Before you get too excited this isn't a fix to the key mapping issue, it is simply me explaining how I've set up the keys to make games be playable on both emulators. with this set up they do work pretty well though.
FpseCE
First of all your going to want a frameskip of 0. With the snapdragon processor I've found that for the games I've tried at least it just makes them slower to add a frameskip.
Now for the keys. First open up the phone and then push the top left of the screen to go into portrait mode with the keys open. Your going to want to set the controller type to dual shock. Once that's done go into multikey. Push buttons 1-8 in order and unselect any buttons that are already highlighted and in use. then go back to 1 and start setting up your keys. This is how I set up mine.
Mutikey PS Controller Key Expo Key
1 Square Left
2 Circle Right
3 Triangle Up
4 X Down
5 R1 Camera Button
6 L1 Applications Button
7 Start Space Bar
8 Select Backspace
For racing games I switch the X and the R1 button because for some reason every time I pushed another key while holding X it would make me press X again to go again. Switching those two keys fixes that problem.
If you want to try and set up it differently for a certain game here is a list of all the keys that work for the LG Expo. (Left, Right, Up, Down, Space Bar, Enter/Ok (two buttons act as the same entry), Backspace, Camera Button, Application Button, Volume Up, Volume down)
Then go out of mutikey by pushing the back button on the phone. Go back to the controller and push the down arrow to set up the analog stick. Click on the box below the left analog stick until it shows a PSP looking device with the screen lit.
Push back on your phone and go into screen mapping. I prefer the 5 by 3 grid. Tap on the middle left most spot and change the control to left analog stick, an L with a circle around it. Make sure the input type is the arrows pointing both ways meaning it will only stay pressed as long as you press it. Then go to icon and change it to a target looking icon with a circle and a circle around it.
Now you're ready to play. Make the game full screen again and now your screen is the analog stick. Anywhere on the screen will actually activate the analog stick. What I do is put my thumb under the image on the screen so I can check and see which way it is facing without lifting my thumb.
MorphGear
The keys that work with MorphGear are the same as with FpseCE and those are (Left, Right, Up, Down, Space Bar, Enter/Ok (two buttons act as the same entry), Backspace, Camera Button, Application Button, Volume Up, Volume down).
I only play GBA games with my phone, so for other systems you may need to set them up differently, although these should work the same for the GB, GBC, NES, and many SNES games if not some others.
For up, down, left, and right I use those same buttons on the keyboard. I then use the Camera Button, Application Button and OK buttons for A, B, and R in different variations depending on the game I'm playing. Then use Volume Up and Volume Down for Start and Select. I put the Space Bar as the L button, but I don't intend on playing games that use it for anything else than occasional use.
If you were to play games that consistently use the L button you could either use Ok and Space Bar for A and B and then use the Camera Button and Application Button for the R and L buttons. However many games would also require you to press A and B at the same time so you would probably have to switch the A and B and the Start and Select buttons. it would be a bit weird holding the phone to play games with the A and B at the volume keys (most of the reason I avoid games that require use of the L key), but it would be playable.
Well, I hope all this helps.
You had me pretty excited there for a minute. Thanks for the info though.
Thanks for your excellent post! Would it be possible for you to upload your fpseCE configuration file? I am having problems getting fpseCE working, every rom i load just exits the program...

First of all it might just be the version of fpsece you're using. I had some issues with that myself for a bit. Make sure you're using fpsece 0.10. You can get that here.

I've also attached my fpse.ini file as well in case it isn't just the version you are using. You are still going to need to edit the keys for your games like I mentioned in my first post to get those properly working.
