Joysticks and gamepads in Wine

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have an Xbox 360 controller with the wireless-USB pickup and I'm using the xboxdrv driver. The result is a joypad that all my native games (that know about joysticks, eg Super Meat Boy, Shank, Jamestown, X², Steel Storm, etc) can use. It's awesome and would thoroughly recommend it. My problem is I have a few non-native games I play through Wine. They seem to have no idea that the controller is there. I'd guess that Wine either doesn't support it or just doesn't do it automatically. So is there a way? I'd ideally like instructions specifically for the Xbox controller if there's any mapping (HowTos)

Stories similar to Joysticks and gamepads in Wine

When I game in Windows, I use MotionInJoy to emulate a 360 controller using my PS3 controller via bluetooth. All is well, at least, when the game has native controller support.

If I'm playing a game through Wine that has native 360 support, it generally doesn't recognize any part of the PS3 controller.

I have my PS3 controller connected through USB and while that works fine, no applications seem to support its keymap. So my question is whether it's possible to make it emulate an xbox controller similar to what MotionInJoy does on Windows?

I have done some googling but to no avail.

I couldn't find the answer elsewhere on the net, or this forum, so far!

I recently purchased a few USB OTG cables for my HTC One S, £0.59 off Amazon including postage, bargain. I can plug in a mouse, keyboard, and using a powered USB hub I can use my external hard drive with the mouse and keyboard.

However, an XBOX 360 controller simply doesn't work.

Here's a flashable zip that will enable you to use an XBox 360 Wireless Controller to play GTA3, Vice City, and any other games that support USB Controllers(hopefully). You will also need an OTG Cable and an XBox 360 Wireless Controller Receiver, like this one.

Controller for Optimus 4X HD 39 weeks 22 hours ago

Hi everyone. I'm looking for controller for Optimus 4X HD to play games like Shadowgun, Sonic 4 or GTA III (I never played this game) on my HD TV. To be honest, I'm fan of Xbox 360 controller, so maybe you know similar design controllers, which would work on mine 4X HD?

John Carmack, founder and technical director id software, recently tweeted that Wine for Linux gaming seems like a better idea than Native ports.

It is not first time Carmack has shown his support for Wine.

I think I screwed something up in a HID library when trying to install a PS3 controller not long ago, as the PS3 controller never worked right, and now when I try to connect an Xbox 360 controller, the mouse cursor jumps to the top-left corner of the screen and neither it nor the keyboard will respond.

any idea what I ought to purge to fix this? thanks!
