How to make joystick completely worked

[uranus0206]

Hi all! I have a gamepad named Logitech Dual Action

It worked perfect in Ubuntu9.04. And worked in wine FIFA soccer game.

But it has a little problem that I can't use reghit analog in the game.

It means i can't make some special move in game.

I follew the instruction:

+-DirectInput
| |
| +->MouseWarpOverride
| | [Override default mouse pointer warping behavior:
| | enable: (default) warp pointer when mouse exclusively acquired
| | disable: never warp the mouse pointer
| | force: always warp the pointer]
| |
| +->*<joystick name> = <axes mapping>
| [Linux only (js* devices). This maps axes of joystick "joystick name". The "axes mapping" is
| comma-separated list of "axis type"s - one for each joystick axis (hat-pov uses 2 axes).
| "axis type" is one of: X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz, Slider1, Slider2, POV1, POV2, POV3, POV4.
| To find the joystick name run
| 'WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine program.exe 2>&1 | grep joydev_enum_device'
| Example: "Logitech Logitech Dual Action"="X,Y,Rz,Slider1,POV1". (two "Logitech"s not a typo)]

maybe i misunderstood that

I created a subfolder named DirectInput under

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Wine\

And then i created a string value named Logitech Logitech Dual Action

and the value is X,Y,Rz,Slider1,POV1

after that i still can't use right analog in game, am i wrong?

[uranus0206]

well, i have do some test.

i use joystick test software like xpadder, and i got the right analog stick info

thus i changed the axismapping value to "X,Y,Z,Rz,POV1"

and then i use joytester, another windows software, then the result worked!!!

but i still can't play game with my right analog stick......is the problem of the

FIFA game?

[uranus0206]

well, i cahnged the axis mapping to "X,Y,POV1,POV2"

and the right analog stick worked in the game menu.......

but I still cannot use that in game..

why donsent the game recognize Z axis and Rz axis?

[uranus0206]

OK! Now i finally find where the problem is! And it's simple to solve!

I find the fifa game will regard my "Logitech Dual Action" joystick as the

"Default" joystick.

That's why i can't use right analog stick even i change mapping in regedit

Now the solution is just modify some contents in the installed game folder

called (FIFA08 for example in the windows browser view):

C:\Program Files\EA Sports\FIFA 08\deta\input\devdata.dat

just edit this file with editor such as gedit, notepad(wine)...

and search "Logitech Dual Action" in the content, like this



and then copy all the mapping values below this subject.

Then search "Default", and paste what you copy to replace all the content

but remain the title of gampad name.



and then copy this file to ~/FIFA 08/user/

now i can play with whole function in game!

PS:maybe it will work with others non Logitech gamepad...
