Hmmm.. That's odd... Rom-Loader *always* loads up the 'romloader' profile when it starts ... If the profile is valid, it should work - it always works for me, on various system, with various pads...jmccutcheon wrote:I have tried everything I can to make the romloader load on system startup and autoload the romloader cfg file with no luck. I HAVE read the readme thoroughly and cannot manage to make it work. I can load paloader on startup, but until I go in with a mouse/keyboard and press the "load" button, the romloader.cfg does not work, thus neither does the gamepad.
Anyone willing to step me through this? I'm sure its a series of moron-moments on my part.
Thank you.

Anyway.. I just tested a few methods, they all worked for me .. Here is the simplest one used:
1. Go to Rom-Loader->Settings->Joypads.. make sure your pad is working (click 'Detect' and 'Calibrate') and then setup the' romloader' joypad profile how you like, in Rom-Loader settings.
2. Open up /root/Startup/joystick-daemon in a text editor. Look at the last two lines:
Code: Select all
#quit
exit 0
Code: Select all
rejoystick1cc --load --profile romloader
paloader -f -s &
Code: Select all
rejoystick1cc --load --profile romloader
paloader -f -s &
#quit
exit 0
3. Save the script, close the text editor and make sure /root/Startup/joypad-damon is executable (right click on it, go to properties)..
4. Finally, restart the desktop... Rom-Loader should then load up and be navigable with your joypad.
----------------
That worked for me, all other methods are variations of this one.
(Note, using this method, clicking 'Detect' in Rom-Loader Joypad settings will load another Rom-Loader copy .. So dont click it, just let puppy detect ur pad when the desktop starts... )
If that doesn't work for you, try changing to a different gamepad, and then re-setup the 'romloader' joypad controls ..
