Hi,

I want to use my Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro USB Joystick with XBMC.

I wrote the following file (C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\keymaps\joystick.0.xml):

PHP Code:
<keymap>
<global>
  <joystick name="Joystick 0">
    <button id="6">PageUp</button>
    <button id="7">PageDown</button>
    <button id="2">Select</button>
    <button id="5">Pause</button>
  </joystick>
</global>
</keymap> 

I found the joystick name and button id in the XBMC log file:
PHP Code:
09:49:05 T:4332 M:2922582016   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 5 Down
09:49:06 T:4332 M:2922659840   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 5 Up
09:49:06 T:4332 M:2922659840   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 6 Down
09:49:06 T:4332 M:2922659840   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 6 Up
09:49:06 T:4332 M:2922663936   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 7 Down
09:49:06 T:4332 M:2922668032   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 7 Up
09:49:08 T:4332 M:2922733568   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 2 Down
09:49:08 T:4332 M:2922639360   DEBUG: Joystick 0 button 2 Up 

Remote control via keyboard works fine, nothing happens when I use my joystick, even though it registers the presses.

Debug information also says:
Quote:09:58:13 T:6964 M:2858815488 INFO: Loading special://xbmc/system/keymaps/joystick.0.xml

I also found the following in log file:
Quote:09:58:13 T:6964 M:2881724416 NOTICE: Enabled Joystick: Top Gun Fox 2 Pro
09:58:13 T:6964 M:2881724416 NOTICE: Details: Total Axis: 4 Total Hats: 1 Total Buttons: 7

But using that name doesn't work neither. I enabled and disabled 'Remote control sends keyboard presses' but that doesn't make any difference.

Does anyone have an insight on what's going on here? Help would be appreciated! Smile

name should be 'Top Gun Fox 2 Pro', not Joystick 0.

As i said, i tried that too:

PHP Code:
<keymap>
<global>
  <joystick name="Top Gun Fox 2 Pro">
    <button id="6">PageUp</button>
    <button id="7">PageDown</button>
    <button id="2">Select</button>
    <button id="5">Pause</button>
  </joystick>
</global>
</keymap> 

Doesn't work though. Sad
