Change Settings in Linux? - Flexico - 01-01-2017
I just installed the Linux version, and there doesn't seem to be any kind of GUI; just the "mgba" command to run with the file name of the ROM. How do I program in my controller? I tried running the Windows version through Wine, but it crashed when I tried to load up a ROM. Is there at least a list of what keys are bound to what buttons on the console?
RE: Change Settings in Linux? - endrift - 01-01-2017
How did you install it? That's the SDL UI, which you can't reprogram on its own without hand configuring it. mgba-qt is the version that's the normal GUI.
RE: Change Settings in Linux? - Flexico - 01-01-2017
Oh, I just downloaded the package that had the three *.deb files and installed them all. Nothing new showed up on my Applications bar, so I just ran "mgba" from the terminal, and it gave me options for command-line use.
Aha, I tried "mgba-qt" and that brought up an actual window. Thanks!

If we did want to edit the settings how would we, the man pages mentions something about using ~/.config/mgba/config.ini however they provide no information on what to actually put in that file in order to change anything.
RE: Change Settings in Linux? - endrift - 02-09-2017
Yep, I was thinking about that earlier. Not sure how to rectify that, because it would belong in manual section 5, but uh, good luck adding something called config.ini to man 5.

Can you maybe give me a copy of a complete config.ini for mgba so I have something to work with for now at least, I also have no idea how you'd go about adding it to the man pages

I'm guessing [input.SDLB] is going to be what is relevant to me as I'm not using the qt wrapper. Do you have any information on where I can find the values for those codes? Are they SDL Scancodes, Keycodes, or something else entirely?
RE: Change Settings in Linux? - endrift - 02-11-2017
SDLB is for controllers (B = buttons). SDLK is for keyboards (K = keyboard). They're scancodes in SDL.
RE: Change Settings in Linux? - Boured - 02-23-2017
Oh so it was mgba-qt that pops up a GUI. Thanks for this as I really don't like the x key being mapped as the A button.
