Checking the mapper it doesnt look like whoever did the rewrite included gamepad emulation(gravis gamepads only return the values shown in the ascii diagram).

It should allow me to eliminate the deadzone that many games implemented and scale the joystick input more appropriately to modern devices.

Ive only noticed jscalibrator so far which doesnt seem to do this kind of thing.

I was going to start by changing with JOYSTICKMoveXY and then take a look at those readwritep201 functions.

There is no such thing as a analog gamepad (when were talking about DOS gamepads like the Gravis).

End of story. The data may be transmitted by setting certain resistor values (as per your table, though im not sure what this table is supposed to say), but i boils down to on or off.

Even very, very expensive ones like the Gravis Thunderbird (or Firebird or whatever it was called).

I dont quite understand the idea of emulating that crappyness.

Its like emulating DOS crashes, just to make the experience more entertaining.

Or emulating the infamous and extremely annoying joystick drifting.

If you are a masochist, please look for other ways to fulfill your phantasies.

The trimming controls were for calibrating the joystick (setting the zero position), not for configuring what you are calling a response curve.

I dont think joystick or joypad functionality is a main focus of Linux devs, and thus quite basic.

An example of a driver that gives very fine control would be XBCD.

Out of that continuous analogue world, engineers and electronics makes educated guesses and decides that some values should be interpreted as discrete values, and in the case of digital computers, as one of only 2 discrete values.

The buttons, on the other hand, are digital on analog gamepads and joysticks (switches close contacts that change line voltages from ground to 5V and vice versa).

Excuse my ignorance, but i am no nobel prize winning theroretical physicist like you seem to be.

There my be quantum states for that button or switch, but in real life it would be very hard to get that switch or button in such a position, wouldnt it (.

He could be plugging in a PS2 or XBox style controller and (arguably incorrectly) calling it a gamepad while actually referring to the truly analog thumbstick(s).

A dialogue with the original poster is required because not enough information was given:p.

When I had written the joystick emulation for DOSBox, I included gamepad emulation.
