Gamepad calibration? Some bits not working...

Post by 000dom000 »

Is there a way to calibrate gamepads for wine?

I have managed to get my PS3 sixaxis working, but when I play a game, everything works properly but the analogue stick. If I move it all the way to the right or down, it goes in the opposite direction, respectively. If I move it a little bit the character goes in the correect direction.

Anyone know how I might fix this?

No you can't calibrate joystick with Wine. The program using joystick should have this capabilities. The only thing you can set is a default dead-zone for all axis.

damn, well I would make directional buttons do the job but for some reason the game (silent hill 2) won't allow it. The option is greyed out. Also I can't make other commands controllable by analogue stick. I guess I will have to live with it for this game. Thanks anyway.

Mac OSX provides no joystick calibration utility. Neither do third-party Mac utilities such as USB Overdrive. I've been unable to find a third-party calibrator for Windows.

I tried replacing Wine's joy.cpl with Microsoft's original. While it displayed in Wine's control.exe window, attempting to open "Game Controllers" had no result.

What other options are there?

I also tried following this dated information: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-u ... 08527.html
but found no success. Perhaps because I could not find "rundll.lgc" nor "rundll32.lgc".
