Bug 36818 – not enough buttons available in xmame 'new i386 linux 1.x.x driver'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ian Haylock 2003-12-30 09:13:35 UTC]

When using the EMS2USB joystick adaptor with linux, both josysticks on the device appear as one joystick with 32 buttons and 8 axis. The 'new i386 linux 1.x.x driver' only enables 16 buttons, so the buttons on the second joystick do not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure EMS2USB adaptor
2.Run xmame
3.Try to configure buttons for joystick 2
Actual Results:  
The buttons on joystick two are not seen by xmame

Expected Results:  
Xmame should have assigned the buttons for joystick 2
