Ls (and then take note of your joystick id, such as "js0") But I want to learn whether XPad offers such control as well. Any info would be greatly appreciated.īefore everyone suggests switching to XBoxdrv - yes, I know XBoxdrv gives well-documented control over deadzones. This has not yet become a specific problem for me that I can report, but when I do get into testing emulators which make use of the analog sticks, and I experience the "slow drift" issue that so many people have reported, I'd like to be armed with the knowledge of how to tweak the deadzones. My 7 yr and 4 yr use the Retropie 99 of the time, so this procedure of switching input modes doesn’t fit their ages. I have found that when testing the controller using jstest, the rest positions of my analog sticks still report large numbers rather than zero. My question is, how does one tweak the analog stick deadzones in the XPad driver? There is much less to be found on the XPad driver. There are plenty of guides and how-to's to be found when setting up the XBoxdrv driver for an XBox360 controller, such as excellent Advanced Controller Mappings guide.
