Y-D002-239 controller

The Y-D002-239 controller is a fairly cheap and simple wireless controller mimicking the style of a NES controller.

It's marketed under various names, but this page's name is the label printed on the back of the controller and most likely the name people will search for it by online.

xboxdrv config

Most games and emulators expect an Xbox 360 controller. xboxdrv can be used to map the keys to a new device properly.

Here's a config that should work, with the invocation command as a comment at the top:

# xboxdrv -c xboxdrv.cfg
[xboxdrv]
evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-0079_Controller-event-joystick
mimic-xpad=true
silent=true

[evdev-absmap]
ABS_X=X1
ABS_Y=Y1

[evdev-keymap]
BTN_C=b
BTN_EAST=a
BTN_TL2=select
BTN_TR2=start

I use the controller upside down, so if that interests you then try this configuration:

# xboxdrv -c xboxdrv.cfg
[xboxdrv]
evdev=/dev/input/by-id/usb-0079_Controller-event-joystick
mimic-xpad=true
silent=true

[evdev-absmap]
ABS_X=X1
ABS_Y=Y1

[evdev-keymap]
BTN_C=b
BTN_EAST=a
BTN_TL2=select
BTN_TR2=start

[axismap]
-X1 = X1
-Y1 = Y1
