Cxbx-reloaded: Keyboard input not being registered (maybe issue with registry settings?)

Created on 27 Apr 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded

In the registry on my system (ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareCxbx-ReloadedXBController), I notice that DeviceName 0x00 is a USB joystick (PS2 controller I was experimenting with, using "Config Controller..." menu instead of xinput to configure it), and DeviceName 0x01 is the SysKeyboard.

When I try to use just the keyboard as input instead of the joystick (unplugged from system), the keyboard input never gets registered when running a game. I suspect this is because Cxbx only sees the 1 keyboard input device, but there's 2 input devices saved in the registry (I see the "Device Mapped to %s was not found" warning in the console log).

Is this a SW bug, or an issue with my registry settings?

Forgot to mention that switching the device names around fixes the issue for me. Just thought I'd bring up the issue in case it was a SW bug.

Try this:
Settings < Config Xbox Controller Mapping < Xbox Port 0 < DirectInput Port 0
Hope this helps, worked for me

IIRC, that menu wasn't available when I filed this issue, so it might no longer be an issue anymore (am too lazy to try to reproduce it myself).

Closing this for now, can be reopened if it's still an issue

@Zethilix your solution Helped me .. Thank you Sir
