Grim Fandango: Controller does not work

[daevu]

Hello dear friends,

I just installed ResidualVM to play my old precious Grim Fandango after about 20 years.

Unfortunately I am not able to use my Logitech F310 gamecontroller to play the game (connected via USB port, does work properly for other games beside ResidualVM).

I copied joystick\_num=0 into the [residualvm] section of the config file and activated Jostick/Controller support in the game options. But the gamepad does not respond within the game.

Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Best, Daevu

Have you tried starting ResidualVM with the --joystick parameter?
Just to be sure that it gets picked up.

And do you maybe have some other USB joystick to test?
Actually there can be many reasons why it doesn't work, up to a bug in the joystick/gamepad handler in residualvm...

I actually don't know how to start ResidualVM applying a parameter. Can you explain?

I'll try, but i need to know which system you are on first.

I'm guessing Windows?
Not sure, long time since i used Windows...

Open "cmd", i guess
cd to your ResidualVM binary and type

ResidualVM --joystick

I hope others will chime in
