xpad VS antimicrox

Use Linux there you can install this: https://github.com/paroj/xpad works great, except that videos that you want to use as background have to be in webm or ogv and NOT mp4

I had to compile and install the latest xpad for 2.4 mode to work. https://github.com/paroj/xpad

However, xpad recently added support for the bluetooth version.

Now we're going to acquire the xpad files, and dkms to set it up. sudo pacman -S dkms && sudo git clone https://github.com/paroj/xpad.git /usr/src/xpad-0.4 && sudo dkms install -m xpad -v 0.4

That particular controller doesn't seem to be compatible with Linux, I found a note about it on the XPad driver (https://github.com/paroj/xpad/issues/232) showing that it doesn't work with XPad. Which means it likely also doesn't work with XPadNeo, which Batocera uses.

I installed AntiMicroX and there all my buttons work. I also use this for driver - https://github.com/paroj/xpad

Googling I found a solution where you install an updated xpad , that has the ID for this 8bitdo controller added for it to recognize correctly. I tried installing it but fails stating that this kernel module is already installed, my only option is force install over it, but I got scared of effing up the xone/xpadneo that's working fine with the normal xbox bluetooth controller.

I'm pretty good with tech but I'm still relatively new to Linux, I was unable to find out what kernel SteamOS is built on or where to go from here. On a side note I know (https://github.com/paroj/xpad) exist and has support for the back paddles but it only works wired. Using a 10ft wire to play games on my couch completely defeats the point, I'd rather just play my deck on the couch at that point. If someone can point me in the right direction or help me get this working it'd be greatly appreciated.

For gamepad control it looks like there is a program to do just that here .

A Controller to Mouse Software (I used reWasd, a free alternative is AntiMicroX)

- AntiMicroX: Map keyboard buttons & mouse controls to a gamepad (with Wayland support)

I have an unused 24mm button on my stick, and I’d like to be able to assign to it two (or more) inputs so it can be used with AntiMicroX for some other function (i.e. 'Select+R3' would press F12, which is bound to 'Reset' in Retroarch). I originally planned for this button to be used for Turbo, but I changed my mind once I realized how many possibilities there are with AntiMicroX. Like the button could run shell scripts or some win32 executable, which is pretty neat.

Like the other person said, Flash has no native support for that. Even games with controller support in mind (Like Super Mario Crossover) tell you to install programs for using controllers, so yeah, you would have to use an external program to accomplish this. I personally would advocate using AntiMicro which is available for free, just install and assign controller buttons to emulate key presses.
