Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

This doesn't install a custom kernel, just a kernel module. While the chances of something bad happening aren't zero, i think you'd have to try really hard to brick an N900 by installing a tested, packaged kernel module.

ok ive tried now installation went well and icon got shown. Followed your instructions app closed after pressing but no accelero use in prboom for me, still default key config.

hope you'll get it working, sounds amazing

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

Thanks for trying.

Did you enable joystick in the prboom menu?

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

Ha no thanks that was my fault gonna try again and report asap

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

ehm....cant find any enable joystick option in prboom menu..? is it in general?

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

Options->General->Next->Enable Joystick

I'm especially interested in feedback from people who have played a lot of accelerometer-controlled games (say, on the iPhone...) and therefore have a good idea what is possible and insight into what could be improved for the control itself.

AWESOME! it works very flawless! one option to add would be to shake the phone for making a jump, like in openarena.

I also couldnt find the shoot button, does it change when applying joystick??

thanks for your work, this is bomb!


EDIT: ok shoot button found, its getting pretty late :) gorgeous

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

for me it downloads but says "unable to install" part way thru install.........

it seems install cant overwrite joydev.ko as ive installed another kernel thats updated that file (sixaxis support)

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

Yes, i was going to ask if you had installed one of the hacks going around. The joydev kernel module is available as a package now, so hopefully there won't be too many taking the hard route to installing it.

Well good, it seems this install works for stock N900s.

Glad to hear it. There is actually no jumping in Doom. :) I do plan on making gestures mappable, though. Unfortunately i have more plans than time. :(

Nope. I hope to eventually make the camera button an optional joystick button.

Re: [Maemo 5] Accelemymote: making your accelerometer more joy-ful
 

so theres a compatibility issue then with sixaxis joydev kernel?? thx

im unable to install joydev kernel thru app manager also, i get the same error :(
