Retrolink Sega Genesis Controller Driver

Hello,

Juste received some china controllers with perfect Saturn (and so genesis) design.

If the controller is recognized in USB Overdrive (I use it to test the controller before asking for help) in Open Emu, it's detected as SNES Retro controller.

I think it's because of that that I cannot map the controls.

Here are some informations from USB Overdrive:

device type gaming hid descriptor BQEJBKEBoQJ1CJUFFQAm/wA1AEb/AAkwCTAJMAkwCTGBAnUElQElB0Y7AWUUCQCBQmUA dQGVCiUBRQEFCRkBKQqBAgYA/3UBlQolAUUBCQGBAsChAnUIlQRG/wAm/wAJApECwMA= hid usage 4 hid usage page 1 interface number 0 location id 337641472 product id 17 product name USB Gamepad product version 262 readable inputs 15 transport 1 vendor id 121 vendor id source 1 vendor name

Alternatively, this NES controller is perfected recognized by OpenEmu:

Thanks !

The HID Browser file: http://bebersite666.free.Fr/Genesis.plist

It has the same vendor/product ID as the SNES retrolink so there's not much we can do about this right now.

commented Dec 19, 2013

I think many controllers may be unusable in this case... Is there anything possible ? this is hard to find retro usb controllers at a decent price.

commented Dec 19, 2013

By example, is there a way to edit the vendor ID databases ?

commented Dec 28, 2013

Got it by edditing Controller-Database.plist and removed the problematic SNES retrolink entry

@beber666 seems like you have a few of these Retrolink controllers. I might be able to make them all automap or at least the sega saturn one. For each controller can you plug them in one at a time, run system_profiler SPUSBDataType in Terminal.app and give me the output, being sure to label which controller it was at the time you had plugged in? That would help me out a lot.

Hello,

Yes no problem, I can do it for all others of my controllers if you want.

Here the retrolink saturn one

@beber666 Thanks!

Ah damn I expected this. The Retrolink NES/SNES/Saturn all have the same exact product name strings, product ID's and vendor ID's.

That unfortunately makes it impossible to automap controls for them. I will have to likely remove the current automap profiles for Retrolink SNES and N64 from the database so these conflicts no longer occur. This will make it so that your controllers will all work without problem, but you'll have to manually map controls for them for each system.

I'll close this issue now since that's pretty much it.
