Created page with "== About Game Controller Support == MorphOS offers two different interfaces for game controllers: newer sensors.library and older lowlevel.library for the legacy support. Gam..."

New page

== About Game Controller Support ==

MorphOS offers two different interfaces for game controllers: newer sensors.library and older lowlevel.library for the legacy support. Games supporting the sensors.library are still quite rare, but it is planned that it will become the only API for controllers and lowlevel.library would only be a wrapper for it.

MorphOS supports standard HID compatible controllers, which don't require any extra commands to be used.

 == Using Multiple USB Game Controllers with lowlevel.library ==
 If you connect several joysticks to a MorphOS machine, they all get assigned to the port 1 of lowlevel.library and will control the same player in games. You need to change lowlevel.library emulation settings in the USB preferences in MorphOS to get the joysticks to different ports for multiplayer gaming. Unfortunately there isn't any single switch for it and you have to change the port setting in several different places.

+Click the '''Save''' button and you have the controller configured to a different port!
 You can now configure games or programs to use different controllers for different players. For example the Wings Battlefield game has an "Assign Controls" option which just reads any input from any lowlevel.library port automatically, and you can use up to four separate controllers with it.
 UAE on the other hand is configured from a text based configuration file. You can assign any of the four lowlevel.library ports from the MorphOS side (joy<n>) to any of the emulated Amiga ports (joyport<n>).

 And for the buttons too. Some controllers have the buttons on the same "Usage items" list with the axes settings, but with some controllers you may have to search them from the different item in the "Reports and collections" list.
