Hello lads,
I've just installed the LE 12 on my Raspberry Pi 5 and it works like charm with movies. However, I'd like to use it also as a retro gaming platform. I bought a special USB-DB9 stick, which allows me to use my old C64 joystick. And it works fine on Win 11 and the emulator of C64.
However, the LE12 doesn't seem to have any mapping and doesn't see this HID device.
The lsusb shows such a log:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0810:e501 Personal Communication Systems, Inc. SNES Gamepad
While the dmesg also shows that the hardware is recognized:
[ 345.253118] usb 3-1: new low-speed USB device number 3 using xhci-hcd

Now, what should I install and perform the proper mapping of the joystick's fire and axis buttons? I've seen that there are tools like jstest but it's not available here. I've installed the Atari 2600 add-on but I can't even configure it.
I assume that I need to catch all the buttons through the jstest and then perform a proper mapping in some .xml files. Later on, I need to use that xml file in the emulator app.
Can anyone guide me with the location of the files and tell me, what should I do?
Thanks and best regards to the Community,
