.TH "REICAST-JOYCONFIG" "1" "August 27, 2015" "REICAST-JOYCONFIG" "reicast-joyconfig"
.SH NAME
reicast-joyconfig \- An editor for Reicast controller mappings.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBreicast-joyconfig\fR [-h | [-d DEVICE_ID] [-f FILE]]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBreicast-joyconfig\fR assists you when creating custom mappings for the \fBreicast\fR Dreamcast emulator.
.SH "EXAMPLE COMMANDLINE"
.TP
\fBNo command line options will give you a list of devices that you can choose from and then start the mapping assistant.\fR
reicast-joyconfig
.TP
\fBCreate a mapping for /dev/input/event3.\fR
reicast-joyconfig -d 3
.TP
\fBCreate a mapping for /dev/input/event3 and save the mapping file to ~/.reicast/mappings/my_mapping.cfg.\fR
reicast-joyconfig -d 3 -f ~/.reicast/mappings/my_mapping.cfg
.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS"
.TP
\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR
Show a short help text.
.TP
\fB-d DEVICE_ID\fR, \fB--device-id DEVICE_ID\fR
Create a mapping for a specific device. The device ID is the number X from /dev/input/eventX.
\fB-f FILE\fR, \fB--file FILE\fR
Save the created mapping to a file. By default, the mapping will be printed to the standard output.
.SH "KNOWN ISSUES"
If you're using a wireless controller, please make sure it is on before creating a mapping. Some controllers emit "Button Pressed/Released" signals when turning them on, which may lead to wrongly mapped keys.
.SH "PYTHON VERSION"
.TP
\fBreicast-joyconfig\fR is written in Python and needs the evdev module to work:
\fIhttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/evdev\fP
.TP
Distributions like Ubuntu have the evdev module as a package in their repositories - in these cases you should use your package manager instead of pip to install it.
.TP
Although \fBreicast-joyconfig\fR does support both Python 2.6 or higher and 3.0 or higher, you need to run \fBreicast-joyconfig\fR with the same Python version that you installed the evdev module for, i.e. if you installed the evdev module for Python 2, you also need to run \fBreicast-joyconfig\fR using Python 2 and vice-versa.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.TP
\fBreicast\fR is developed by a number of people. A list of contributors can be obtained at:
\fIhttps://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/graphs/contributors\fP

If the evdev input works for you, it's probably best to deaktivate the legacy joystick API input:
You can create your own mappings with the \fBreicast-joyconfig\fR tool. You should either put them into the "mappings" folder inside the reicast config directory. As an alternative, you can specify an absolute path (which has to begin with a leading slash "/"):

If you don't specify a mapping file, \fBreicast\fR will use one of the pre-defined mapping files (e.g. for Xbox 360 controllers).
