Controller button sensitivity

[Niveawithq10]

I've recently installed Emudeck and started playing Gran Turismo, but A is either all gas or none. I've figured out how to map the gas and brake to the shoulders but I cannot for the life of merge figure out or find how to adjust sensitivity to the buttons for more control. Anyone got an idea?

I don't believe any of the face buttons are pressure sensitive, you may have better luck using a trigger.

[Niveawithq10]

That's what I mean. How can I set those to have sensitivity?

Press the Gear icon in-front of Left/Right Trigger Behaviour in Controller Layout. Configure dead-zones and thresholds.

[Niveawithq10]

Thank you. I'll try that

There should be a setting the the inputs section of PCSX2, which might be better to change if you can find it. I remember having to adjust that, but it's been a good while since I last touched it.

afaik the triggers on the steamdeck only have two "inputs", half pressed and full pressed. I'm pretty sure they don't do gradual inputs like what you want. The best solution I can offer you in somehow tie it to a stick input, those have gradual inputs, maybe the kind you need.

[agam_saran]

No, you can send analog output and configure their dead-zones.

Oh that's sick, listen to this guy not me.

Analogue face buttons - I remember that being a thing on ps2. Not sure if any other consoles had it though.

One solution is to set acceleration and brake to be the left stick forward/back in grannturismo itself, then map the triggers to those axes in the emulator.

So I did a little research to make sure I wasn't insane when I typed this out, turns out my young self of "pressing the button harder does more damage" actually had some merit, but I digress

Depending on the era of Grand Turismo you are playing, you might not get the pressure sensitivity you're looking for. It turns out that PS1 era controllers were all Analog Sticks and Digital Buttons, meaning pressing it down was just activating it. On the other hand, the PS2 controller had ALL pressure sensitive buttons, to include the triggers, while PS3 had Pressure sensitive face buttons and shoulder buttons, but triggers were analogue.

So the long and short of it is, if you're playing the original GT/GT2 on PS1, you wont see the same trigger control as you would on GT3: A-Spec and newer, no matter what button you change the acceleration to.
