[PLUGIN] Xpadder Plugin

[Krakerman]

Well you finally got me to try Xpadder out as you know I been using Pinnacle Game Profiler for years but thought why not try something new. I bought Xpadder many years ago but really never used it much once I found out about PGP but that might all change now once I have more time tomorrow to give it a run thru the only thing that I seen that's dissapointing is Xpadder's lack of use of the 360 Guide Button. Anyways just wanted to thank you for the great job you are doing on your plugins!

QuickLaunch has been one of my fav's but now I have a new one to try out.

Thanks again!

[Adultery]

Updated to 1.2.3

• Updated GameEx core to new version
• Lots of tweaks to main Xpadder code
• Re-wrote launcher and Xpadder backend code
• Lots of UI fixes and tweaks
• Added new status info strip to UI
• Re-wrote Windows/GameEx code for smoother transitions where window focus is lost

Lots of changes in the code, I basically re-wrote everything and made it moch quicker and more efficient. I moved the 'enable' checkboxes next to the drop down lists, and added a quick at a glance info strip (note that it does not record GameEx interface profile launches, only systems and games).

Any questions? Ask away. Any bugs? I'll fix 'em (although I spent quite a length of time testing this). Get it from the usual places.

I want to report here an error in the "plugin manager".

I use this plugin for a long time. But that option called "advanced options game" within the plugin manager, allows we add a specific control setting Xpadder, triggering the "specify game specific settings" option.

the problem is: I figured any .iso file that is compressed is not seen by the option of specifying a game in Xpadder plugin.

In my case all the isos of 3DO games, and many other emulators, are compressed in zip format. I did a test, an iso unzipped and she appeared.

Another issue that leads me to believe that this is a bug is: If all the isos are compressed and you try to activate this plugin manager function, and then click on "Profile" to select the Xpadder the file to be used will see a error message the program.

Please help me. Did I do something wrong !? I use this plugin in many other emulators (which contains no isos compressed) and never gave problem.

look at that picture I took. The function "specify game specific settings" is enabled but the field to open the Xpadder file remains disabled.

I'm having problems with the plugin manager to use Xpadder in some situations.

I use Xpadder with GameEx long ago. But when I click "specify game specific settings" if the game it is a compressed iso it does not appear as an option to configure.

An example: My 3DO games are all zipped, when I click "specify game specific settings" nothing happens.

does anyone know what to do? To make this plugin work being the compressed iso !? (for when it is unpacked the iso Xpadder plugin recognizes)

look this photos

the option "specify game specific settings" selected but this field does not seek game. And when I click on the box next to the field to look for the game of this error the second photo.

can someone help me !?

[Adultery]

First things first: Update your plugin to 1.2.3 and see if it helps. If not, please re-attach your GameEx ini and Xpadder plugin log and I'll look at it.

[Alan Ribas]

I upgraded to the 1.2.3 version and nothing has changed.

I added here the message content that appears when the error occurs:

GameEx.ini

[Adultery]

Try the attached. It adds Games in 7-zip (which should fix your issue) and multiple ROM filter support.

Let me know if it works. I have some refining to do while I'm in there and I would like to release a new version sometime this weekend.

Thanks!

[Alan Ribas]

AAAAAAaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!

This plugin worked perfectly !!!!

Thank Adultery !!!

ps...I do not know if I understand right what you wrote. But this plugin which provided me is not complete yet !? You will improve it is and then release a new version?

[Adultery]

That's correct. I need to do a couple small things and refine some code.

Thanks for your help Alan!

[Adultery]

@Dazzle: Please post your logs.

[DazzleHP]

Nothing has changed, only auto updated GameEx to 14.04, tried three games that were fine up until the update. Now they don't work. (the games run as they should in GameEx, but the Xpadder functionality is gone)

GameEx.ini log.txt Xpadder Plugin after 14.04 Update.zip

[Adultery]

I'm pretty sure I know what's going on here... When I added in the ability to use ROMs in zip/7zip/etc I forgot to add an exception for MAME, Steam, and some others. This will only affect integrated MAME, integrated Daphne, Steam, UPlay, GameEx Arcade, and Origin. Give me a sec and I'll fix it.


EDIT: Try this one, which should fix it. I also found a bug where I forgot to drop the ROM File extension.

Hi Everybody!

As far as arcade gaming concerns, my arcade cabinet is all I ever dreamed, but when I play classic console games (like NES, SNES, SMS...) I don't feel like I'm playing at those consoles. I need the consoles' gamepad too!

So, I use Xpadder plugin to control my cabinet:

profile 1 - player 1 arcade side.

profile 2 - player 2 arcade side

profile 3 - coin slot (a hacked joystick connected to a coin slot)

... and here's my problem!

I'm adding two usb ports below each player's controls so I can plug console gamepads. so I need to set 5 profiles for each classic emulator!

profile 1 - player 1 arcade side.

profile 2 - player 2 arcade side

profile 3 - coin slot (a hacked joystick connected to a coin slot)

profile 4 - player 1 gamepad (it mirrors profile 1 so you can still play if there's no gamepads plugged in)

profile 5 - player 2 gamepad (it mirrors profile 2 so you can still play if there's no gamepads plugged in)

And the xpadder plugin only has 4 slots for profiles...

Any idea about how can I fix this little problem?

Thanks!

[Adultery]

Ahh that's a drag! Maybe I'll add controller support for 8 pads instead of 4 in Xpadder plugin with a radio button or something.

[helpman]

That would be sweet now I'll update my emulador profiles to map default keys for those emuladores while I wait for the chinese gamepads to arrive... It should take them a month...

[Adultery]

Hey helpman: Try this out. The beta has some code optimizations, but more importantly, adds support for up to 8 profiles (which I believe is the max number Xpadder supports). Set 1 contains profiles 1-4 and set 2 contains 5-8. Click the tab to switch sets.

Let me know how you get on.

[helpman]

awesome, thanks! I'll try to set it up as soon as I have some spare time I can't wait

[Alan Ribas]

Hello Adultery.

Look, in the penultimate update GameEx (version 14.03 to 14.04) there was a thing that was repeated in this latest update (version 14.04 to 14.05). There were two things:

1) After the upgrade, I went to the manager plugin and entered the option "Xpadder Plugin" and saw that many of my settings had again been disabled. That is, again have to enable various controls that before the update were already configured.

2) Another thing I noticed, but that is less important: In some emulators function to specify a control mapped to a specific game is already enabled, even though I have not set any specific configuration. So when I disable the field to specify a control to a game, saved, and when I go back there again the option is enabled.

[Adultery]

Hmm, sounds to me like a permission issue but I'll look at it locally. Of course, out would be helpful if I could get a look at your settings.xml and xpadder.log

[Alan Ribas]

I searched for these two files you requested. I found the xpadder.log, is attached. But in researching the "settings.xml" found 4 files. Then renamed each with a number to distinguish them, and all have attached too.

Note: I created a txt file and threw the document content "xpadder.log" within it. For some reason could not upload to this forum, a message said I was not allowed to send this type of file.

settings (2).xml

settings (3).xml

settings (4).xml

Settings.xml

xpadder.txt

[Adultery]

Sorry, I am unable to reproduce this...

If I un-check the box next to the game it disables the game as expected. If I un-check the box next to the system it disables the system as expected. If I press 'clear' in the game section it removes the game profiles as expected. If I press 'clear' in the system section it removes the system profiles as expected. The settings save and reload as expected after exiting/re-entering.

Your log also looks fine to me. Is anyone else having issues like this?

[Alan Ribas]

I do not understand it. For example, the "Atari 2600" system and many others, is automatically marked "Specify game specific settings" option. I have not activated it. It is automatically selected. When we withdraw marking this option unless and out, when I return the option is marked again.

[Adultery]

I can't duplicate this using your settings on my machine is what I'm saying. What is your GameEx install path?

[Adultery]

Oh wait. I see what you're saying, the language barrier got me.

Hold on a bit, let me see if I can reproduce.

In the meantime you can just clear the emulator profile and it should remove game profiles too.
