Official RumblePak not recognised
Bug Report
What's the issue you encountered?
My official Rumble Pak is not recognised by libnds' code in rumble.c.
How can the issue be reproduced?
Call rumbleIsInserted() and it returns false, even though my official NintendoDS Rumble Pak (model no. NTR-008, NTR-A-ZV-USA) is inserted. This Rumble Pak came with Metroid Pinball.
Environment?
N/A
Additional context?
I managed to fix the issue, for this particular RumblePak at least, by changing the last line to include a check for the value that my RumblePak provides at the GBA SLOT address:
id = *(vu16*)0x08000000;
return (id == 0xFFFD || id == 0x7E00);
with the variable defined as
vu16 id;
For reference, in earlier libnds code for rumble.c, I also had to adjust the libnds code to properly work with my RumblePak. I did that by removing the check on four[0] and four[2].
rumbleType = RT_OFFICIAL;
// Now check to see if it's true open bus, or if D1 is pulled low
four[0] = GBA_BUS[0] & 3; //0xFF;
four[1] = GBA_BUS[1] & 3; //0xFF;
four[2] = GBA_BUS[2] & 3; //0xFF;
four[3] = GBA_BUS[3] & 3; //0xFF;
return /*(four[0] == 0x00) && (four[2] == 0x00) &&*/ (four[1] == 0x01) && (four[3] == 0x01);
Once detected, rumbling functionality (i.e., setting the rumble position) works as expected.
According to gbatek, the official Rumble Pak (NTR-008, "bundled with Metroid Prime Pinball") reports itself as 0xFFFD, not 0x7E00. Can you provide a picture of the device? Does it actually work with official software that can make use of it?
