I think i'll buy the first one then... was hoping I could use amazon rather than fleabay but at this point beggars can't be choosers, if that controller works for you in the current version of duckstation-0.1.6217 , i'll go for it... as i manually compiled 0.1.6232 and my issue persists... it just does not like the usb adapter it seems... oh well.
Just out of curiosity did you test it on epsxe? I prefer duckstation but did you try it for testing purposes?

Yes I stated earlier, epsxe2.0.5 works just fine with it, as well as snes9x 1.62.3 - works just fine... I LIKE duckstation because I can upscale my games just fine and looks way better.... its just duckstation previous version or 0.1.6232 does not play nice with my adapter... I loaded Gex , and as soon as I enter the actual game , the character moves on its own... if I load Need for Speed 2, I can't even do anything as within the menu system the cursor goes crazy , no such issue in epsxe.
Just tried Duckstaion 0.1.6217 with a ps2 dualshock runnig through a usb adapter, no problems in Tekken 3.
The usb adapter is a no name. Dmesg reports Twin USB Joystick, Force feedback for PantherLord/GreenAsia devices.
So problem is specific to your usb adapter or something else is going on.
Apart from renaming $HOME/.local/share/duckstation to something else and setting duckstation up again. I'm out of ideas.

I'll clear out the .local/share/duckstation and try again - it is a radioshack branded adapter (yea 'member radioshack)? And yea everything would suggest the adapter...then again it works just fine when i use epsxe or snes9x , works perfectly, but i will clear out .locla/share/duckstation and report back....

Nope, in game the character (gex) , just won't properly respond, either he keeps ducking or moving on his own.... it has to be my adapter - duckstation just doesn't like it.
Still not 100% convinced by that. Time to break out the test programs, evtest, evtest-qt (https://github.com/Grumbel/evtest-qt/), testgamecontroler from sdl if you have it, pretty much any test program you can find for sdl or the event interface. and see what they are saying

I'll bite.... maybe QT doesn't like it? AFAIK epsxe and snes9x are not using QT .... I am also running KDE for the DE, and I can go in there and calibrate and tests just fine there.... I don't know why it works in epsxe and snes9x but not duckstation.

Then again, if KDE is QT based and I'm running QT5 for Slackware 15....no nevermind , because this version of duckstation is on qt6...... either it is qt6 or the adapter -- but I can't get the tools to compile to test.... and again , since under epsxe and snes9x i don't have any issue..... it has to be something with duckstation/qt6 and the controller/adapter. SDL is up to date, so it can't be that AFAIK.
I am not pressing the d-pad , but x-y axis seems to show this, that makes no sense, why is it registering input on x-y then? so QT doesn't like my controller is what I am still concluding.... no issue in epsxe or snes9x
No flickering on offs. Try to simulate what you're doing in duckstation.
If there's no funny looking responses it points more towards the issue being with duckstaion.
If there's weird looking responses it points to the adapter.
Just for completeness have you tried setting it as an analog controller in duckstation, I see evtest-qt at least reports the axies differently when analog is switched on.
[QUOTE=Jeebizz;6477015]wait but something is off....
Yes it reports axis in the range -127 0 127 if the analog is switched off and hat switch 0 1 if the analog is on.
btw qt is only used for the ui in evtest-qt it is the event interface that is being read.
You could just open a terminal and type evtest to get a list of all event interfaces and evtest /dev/input/event<event number>
to get the same information no qt involved.
