Hi all, This may sound as a silly question but I have been unable to do this. How do I create a .info icon file and associate it with the executable file? I have been unable to do with the AROS hosted on my Linux.

This is a blast from the past. Years ago I wanted to attempt at making a video commercial about AROS and it's applications. I had no experience of making videos so I just used what was available on a Windows 7 computer. Windows Movie Maker, VMware Player, and the now defunct AROS Max distribution (remember that one? I think I still have the ISO somewhere). I tried to show as many applications as possible and make it last for the duration of the magnificent soundtrack of Xenon II Mega Blast remixed by Dazze available on AmigaRemix.com at the time. The video was uploaded before Youtube became an integral part of the Google domain and I have since lost access to that account. In a funny twist, I was not expecting a large audience as the video quality is very poor and first attempt was not quite clean in the cuts, etc. etc. However, it is sporting a 14,991 views and some very good comments below. The soundtrack does all the heavy lifting it seems ;) Enjoy!! [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2Nw0Vi1vDA[/youtube]

No Wireless XBox controllers at the moment. I have one arcade stick wireless that works fine, but that is hid controller.

My wireless and wired controllers both work at this moment. There is a 2.4GHz dongle for xbox controller pc use. It's luckily not bluetooth so it might even work. Not sure if the bit showing controller as wireless is always at the same location, needs testing. Do you have wireless controller? I will be putting out new test for the arosx, showing if the wireless check works and getting some more needed info for the xinput descriptor parser.

BlueTooth is not supported in AROS. I know some XBox controllers use that protocol, but others might use IR or maybe WiFi? Guess to be safe, cable is the way to go. I guess wireless XBox controller also can be connected with USB cable?

Well, I am more interested to do native compiling too, and that's I have mostly done. So far I have only worked with SoX, old versions, got a binary, version 12.7.3, and it is too old, lacks features I need, so going some newer version next. Various, as usually, configure works most of the cases, gcc runs and compiles object (.o) files, but problems start in linking all of them to final binary sox. I need to check some newer version, I can send some error messages I get, need to find exact version first. Thanks !!

Can't help with cross compiling, I use native only. Native seems easier to me, but I only build for x86. Either way you should be getting a binary, or error messages. So what kind of errors are you getting?

OK, almost there, Sox works, installed few other utils, but the version is rather old, unfortunately, it seems I still need to find a way to native/cross compile some open source software (all command line/shell utils) to Aros.

Cool, thanks very much, I struggled two days with native and cross-compiling, excellent news, already downloaded, testing now. Thanks !!! :D ! :o

I think I found how to get the bitmask for all the inputs on XInput gamepads and that there even is such a bitmask... Haven't seen that mentioned in anywhere :) I didn't put any buttons on that settings window that tests the inputs as I didn't know how many buttons each controller has I think we even now know if the controller is wired or wireless! Important, as we need to inform the controller api about it.

A copy of serk's SoX build is in the upload section of the AROS-archive. You can get it there, or in a few days, it should be in the main archive :)

Thank sounds perfect Dizzy :) Thanks for doing this.

My Wireless F710 has worse thumb sticks than on it's counterpart the F310. F710 doesn't always return the value to center, but the F310 does. It brutally shows how bad the sticks have gone. Some kind of calibration would be nice, I will look into that too. At least it could be good to find the dead band around the center. Maybe some routine that asks to push fully on one direction and then let go. Timer would start from zero every time a new message arrives and lets say if 100mS has elapsed from the last message then the code would look where the stick has last left it markings and do that many times and we should be able to find the dead band.

So the rumble even works? :) My Logitech outputs somewhere 0 at the center so it doesn't shake very much at that position, but the original controller has a different zero position (well, it actually looks the same when your thumb sticks are centered...). It was just a test to see if the rumble works other than my controller. Thank you very much!

Yes, it open :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IA9sI5mek Maybe needs calibration? edit: with the rumble update my controller rumble all the time like crazy. Little less if I move the left stick upwards. Calibration :)

I've enabled some rumble effects on the code. The intensity should vary according to the left thumb stick. [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/rl119qmc5uinl4o/arosx.class?dl=1[/url] Works for Logitech F710 at least, not sure if the class even shows any output on other XInput gamepads...

Does the "settings" window open?

Nothing happen pressing buttons or directions. When I insert it in usb port it say play it again "controller" Does that seam ok?[/quote] Sounds about right, there is no automatic popup for the testing window, need to go there manually. There's two ways of opening the window: [url]https://youtu.be/QoAXisrRg50[/url]
