I'm having problems with the iControlpad. I'm using FPse 11.132.
When using the serial mode (start + Y), FPse won't 'connect' with the iControlPad.
- unpair iControlPad (only if it was previously paired in 'serial' mode)
- I set FPse to use iControlPad (settings, gamepad, external, pad port 1, iControlPad)
- exit fpse.
- pair iControlPad with Androad, pair is successful.
- (in serial mode, I can't 'connect' the device from the bluetooth menu. must do it from inside app/game)
- open fpse.
- start game
- game pauses. FPse asks me to choose the bluetooth device. I choose iControlPad
- (I can also 'scan' and if my device isn't paired I can choose it)
- game resumes
- iControlPad does not work
- (in the past, when it was working, I would get a pop-up message saying device is connected. I never get that message now)
My device is running Android ICS. In ICS, I can use the 'gamepad' mode (start + X). If I use the gamepad mode, and I pair the iControlPad in 'gamepad' mode, then I can use hardware mapping. That works pretty great actually.
- unpair iControlPad (only if it was previously paired in 'serial' mode)
- in FPse set gamepad to 'other (settings, gamepad, external, gamepad port 1, 'others')
- exit fpse
- put iControlPad in 'gamepad' mode (start + X)
- pair iControlPad with Android - device will be recognized as a 'gamepad' / 'joystick' in bluetooth settings
- (I can manually 'connect' it if I want)
- launch fpse
- map buttons (settings, gamepad, buttons mapping) (only need to do this one time)
- launch game
- press button on gamepad (usually start) - game pauses, fpse asks which port, I choose port 1, game continues
- (it does this only if the gamepad is not 'connected', and if the gamepad times out due to inactivity and you start it again, this prompt happens again)
- gamepad works great
The 'problem' is that the serial mode does not work now. It used to, but now it doesn't. I like the 'gamepad' mode better I think, but something is weird / broken now because it doesn't work in 'serial' mode.
I am not using blueime. I have not tested with other emulators.
