[invalid] linuxraw + PS4 controller: Remote RetroPad does not indicate analog triggers

[davidhedlund]

Description

The DualSense (PS5) autoconfig file works as expected with linuxraw, but not the PS4 controller.

Only the linuxraw controlle ddriver is affected.

No problem with:

• udev
• sdl2 (note: currently sdl2 does not work with the appimage at this writing, but that is not related to this issue. However, sdl2 is working fine with Flatpak).

Expected behavior

Analog indication should be visible.

Actual behavior

Appimage (failed)

Digital indication

Flatpak (failed)

No indication at all

Steps to reproduce the bug

Download the linuxraw autoconfig file for the PS4 controller:

• linuxraw: Add Sony Interactive Entertainment DualSense Wireless Controller retroarch-joypad-autoconfig#1166

Version/Commit

• RetroArch: 1.19.1 Appimage, 1.19.1 Flatpak

Environment information

• OS: Trisquel 11 GNU/Linux

For some reason, I used "_btn" instead of "_axis". The issue was solved by editing the autoconfig file:

Replace

input_l2_axis = "+2"
input_r2_axis = "+5"

with

input_l2_btn = "+2"
input_r2_btn = "+5"
