[Q] how to disable Archos Gamepad 2 Controller

[AMACOMX]

I've got an Archos Gamepad 2 ... Got a problem with some games as they auto find and configure on the controller's buttons (asphalt 8 and Impulsion)
Asphalt mapping is cool, but impulsion doesn't show the on screen controls so that i can re-map them and the only pre-mapped working control is the left analog for movement... no shoot/slash control mapped by default ...
Is there a way to disable the built in controller ??? or a tool to fake the games that there is no controller attached
And if there is a way to disable the controller will the on screen controls appear
this seems to be a common issue with android devices that has built in controller (Xperia Play - Archos Gamepad 2 - jxd s7800b)
Thanks in advance

same issue

Sorry to revive this thread but I have the same question as the op and I have the same problem with the game Implosion in my archos gamepad 2, any solutions? op did you find an answer?

 

[Talos91]

The same happens with the amazing spiderman 2 game, please any solutions guys?

 

[Talos91]

Have the same problem again in the lego game complete saga for android, please help. I hate when games don't give you the option to enable touch screen controls even if it detects a gamepad.

Hey I rooted my device, any way to alter the games files so that they don't detect the archos gamepad 2 as an external controller?

 

[Talos91]

so no one dev knows?

 

[Talos91]

Tried Tincore Keymapper to simulate other external controllers, but the game implosion still does not work, so how do these games detect the archos gamepad input?

 

[Talos91]

Implosion was updated recently, I think they tried to add support for the archos gamepad 2 because the tutorial screen now shows controller buttons but the game still has the same issue, only the left stick works, maybe it is because the archos built in controller is 2 different devices, the buttons are joy_key and the sticks are joystick.

 

[Talos91]

I am root, any files I can delete to disable the built in controller?

 

[Talos91]

Bump still no solution any ideas?

 

[AMACOMX]

its no use ... ditch it

@Talos91 ... seems nobody is interested ... i really regret the tablet now ... anyways its ditched somewhere in my backpack and every now and then i recharge it when i need it, some casual touch games are on it ... its jelly beans and CANNOT be updated to any new version ... guess thats it for Archos gamepad2 ... or maybe for Archos itself ... not gonna buy any of their products again ... doesnt worth it

 

[Talos91]

Sorry to hear that but the tablet is still great for emulators, they work great like retroarch, drastic, epsxe and ppsspp. Also some fire tv games work on the archos like shovel knight and not to mention the good android games with no iaps work great too like ittle dew and wayward souls.

 

[Talos91]

In sys/devices/platform/joystick are the files of the analog input, maybe if you erase those file implosion could work.

 

[Talos91]

You can not delete or rename those files even with root for some reason.

[Talos91]

Bump
Anyone else with a archos gamepad 2

 

[Talos91]

Is there any way to disable system input devices?

 

[Talos91]

Any help? Is there any way to merge the two input devices into one? Merge the "joystick" and "joy_key"
