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

Support doesn't really come from my side. See my comment a few posts back:

Could come from your side if you got bored and decided to add keymaps to directions :P

I'm sure you could rip some of smoku's work on PS3 controller to help with that.

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

You don't have to rip anything.
xserver-xorg-input-joystick package is standalone. Just install it, and drop .fdi mapping for accelerometer-joystick device in :p

My usage of the word rip was a little off... that said I didn't expect it to be that easy.

While we are on that topic... is there a fast way to disable keymaps for joystick? N64 emu works with it just being a gamepad.. so I manually mv .fdi files to a backup everytime I play it.

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

I think I already mentioned in this thread that GUI .fdi file editor might be useful for both sixaxis and accelemymote packages. :)

I have no time now to write one though.

Thanks for the reminder. No need to reinvent that wheel, i think.
The issue of editing files in ~ (or worse somewhere else in system) is quite annoying; i wish they hadn't made it invisible to file chooser dialog by default.

There's still the option of invoking leafpad from xterm with the file as a parameter for user configurations, though.

Still need some testers for the version in extras-testing:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ote-gui/0.1.1/

Accelemymote 0.1.1

• Orientation setting: 0=desktop (default), 1=portrait, -1=upside-down
  portrait

This works well for MAME games that are portrait-shaped (higher than they are wide) after rotating them in the MAME settings for the particular ROM. I tried it with Centipede. ;)

1 up... ;)

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

Hey there, installed the gui from the app manager, but does not work - looks like it's working then shuts down. I've yet to upgraqde to pr1.2, is this the problem?

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

Hi, I would ask you this:

Is it possible for the application to send fake keypresses as to simulate the usage of arrows on a keyboard?

This will mean that the app does NOT fake a joystick but it does fake someone pressing on arrows keys.

This is the way: (NiiMe does this in symbian): tilt the phone up and the software will send some "W" keypresses (as in a WASD game configuration). The more the phone is tilted, the more frequent and/or long the keypresses will be.

This is a video I made talking about n95 and accelerometer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVemkZrCIjI

In here you can see an explanation of what is the result when I tilt my phone.

(I know, in that video the keypresses are sent to a PC via bluetooth, and used to play need for speed.. cool eh?)

Thanks,
