[GOG][Ys Origin] controler keep going up and no movie cutscenes

Hello, I've got two problems with the game (and some other old Falcom games like Trails in the sky FC but with graphical issue in bonus) With a controler, the in-game cursor keep going up (as if i have an offset). And when i start a new game, the opening movie cutscene don't show up. I attached the log of Ys Origin to this post. If you need other informations, please tell me Thank you in advance. PS : English is not my native language. Sorry for any mistakes I made while writing.

The cutscenes require you to install quartz and amstream with Winetricks. That's the case for all Falcom games prior to about 2010. As far as your controller problems, what controller do you have?

hello, thank you for your answers. For the cutscenes, i'll try this tomorrow. For the controller, i use the ps4 controller via bluetooth (i got the same problem even wired)

Have you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad#PlayStation_4_controller ? I don't have a PS4 controller, but it sounds you might need to remap buttons or try a different driver.

since it works with other games, i haven't think about looking for the wiki. I will look at it tomorrow. Thank you for your quick answers 🙂

Possibly a trigger axis is being interpreted as a stick axis. Yeah, joystick support in Linux is a bit weird. There are two APIs (not to mention two APIs in Windows), so if there's a mismatch between what the game supports and the driver provides, you can have some games working and other not.

Hello, For the controller, i tried the solution in the 5.8.3 section of the wiki (the second link you give me). i tried to understand what each line mean and how it works but i didn't fully understand it. So i just copy/paste the lines and see if it changes anything. result : it didn't solve the problem with the controller. for the movie cutscenes, i went to the game settings, click on winetricks. When the window appears, i selected "Select the default wineprefix" option, then "Install a Windows DLL or component". I check amstream and quartz (not quartz_feb2010). But i have errors (see the screenshots below) I don't understand those errors. Do you have any idea of what that mean ?

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/2036 Looks like it's a bug in cabextract.

The Arch package is up to date, but the Manjaro package is behind.

did the architecture 64-bit instead of 32-bit matter for the wineprefix ? i just updated cabextract to the 1.11 version to test but i got the same error

controller can be fixed if you disable HIDRAW in wine-ge or if you use upstream wine (which has hidraw disabled by default)

hi, i looked how to disable hidraw in heroic (as an environment variable or wrapper or game args) but i can't find anything. How do you disable it ? (i should have write it before but i'm a newbie in linux gaming)

It's a Wine registry setting, it seems. You can use Winetricks to run regedit in the prefix, and then change/add the right key, which is listed at the bottom of this page: https://wiki.winehq.org/Useful_Registry_Keys

I'm glad it worked out. Falcom games are really worth the effort.
