no news on the classic game pad uhm? :-)

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
no idea... i bought 2 wiimotes yesterday i wanted to try it so bad, and i got it working!!
i dont own a wii so dont know about classic pad... but from what i can tell, classic pad has a cable and therefore doesnt support bluetooth, so im pretty certain they wont work..... see below (part of wiicontrol) config file, you can only map certain buttons. you can see button B is missing..? Code:
.........mapping={ |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
the Classic Pad connects to the WiiMote via the cable, not to the Wii itself.
Therefore the controls from the Classic Pad must be transfered to the console via Bluetooth using the standard WiiMote connection. If should theoritically be possible to interpret these controls on the N900. |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
It depends on what your idea of "working" is. Having a randomish lag to all your button presses from 20ms to 500ms is not what I would consider working unfortunately... and there's nothing that can be done to fix it except use a different Bluetooth based controller.

The daft thing seems installed allright. It just doesn't like me! Wish I had another wiimote (or a wii) to try it out, but, alas... |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
my wiicontrol app wont stay open long enough for me to connect, what could be the issue?

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
these steps work for me 95% of the time:
1. enable BlueTooth, with visibility ON, and device name "N900" 2. press a button on WiiMote 3. open WiiControl 4. repeatedly press the 1+2 buttons together, until it says connected 5. if you want gyros on, press "gamepad+gyros" button then press a button on WiiMote 6. then it should work!! |

you could try "apt-get upgrade" to see if ur missing dependencies or try charging wiimote and/or press sync button.... . . . |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
Big thanks I had it working but not fully for the longest time. Never really bothered though. But I saw you put an icon up there for wiicontrol. I've downloaded it, stuck it into the icon/hildon/48x48/ etc. folder, and even pointed the .desktop entry for it to the icon, but no dice.
Could you briefly describe how you got the wiicontrol icon functioning? 2d |

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
BINGO. Thanks. I looked at the contents of that one and mine, and saw that besides formatting they were almost indentical. Anyway nice to have the icon there now. Was the only app that didn't have one on mine.

this is my setup, wiicontrol shortcut next to games......... :D
welcome to my mobile game console...... quake 1 - full version quake 3 - full version duke 3d - full version ultimate doom - full version doom 2 - full version openarena wormux plus all the Emulators.........!! . . . |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
Very nicely organized. I just got mine all setup and scripts written for all my ssh and VNC needs, so now I'm going to start getting it all decked out for gaming. I have all of the things you listed with the excetion of duke nukem 3d, and doom 2 as I don't legally own them.
I've been playing Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III though for sometime now on mine. Making some good progress. It's funny I wanted to play FFIII for a long time, as when I was younger I could never get it. And now I'm experiencing it through my n900. Pretty amazing. When I'm off work, I'm going to try to get the wiimote to work with UGM. That would be amazing. I'd fight so much better in that game this way. hahahaha. 2d |

I have an n900 with scandinavian keyboard layout: http://bitsolutions.no/forums/N900_KeyCompare.png
what do you call the "æ" and the "." in the script? |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
Has made all under your instruction - there are problems.
Takes off and is closed WiiControl. Probably it as that is linked by what I use Russian localised version N900? http://s57.radikal.ru/i155/0910/74/7729baa3e65c.jpg |

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
Hi,
that sounds reall fun, but I am unsure about how to move the files in those folders in the N900. They are not shown in the normal file manager, right? Also, the "help" hyperlink directs me to some very confusing stuff... is it the only way to do this? Thanks in advance. If there is no other way, then I ll just put my brain to work ^^ Romain |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
Hello,
...and thank you all for this next wow moment in my life with the N900! Tried Wiicontrol yesterday together with DrNokSNES and it works like a charm.. My only problem is: I keep hitting the B button together with the dpad while playing Mario Kart, which kicks me out of the game and sends me back to the main screen of DrNokSNES. Is there a way to prevent it from using mapping_b together with mapping_snes and/or mapping_l etc.? Or do I have to set mapping_b to screen taps or similar :)? boudjere |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
I originally thought the B button didnt work but it seems to be a shift like button. B + Left is exit and B + Down is fullscreen I think... Havent tried disabling this but the setting is in the wiicontrol file, have a look.

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
I tried a few things, including commenting out
Code:

for bb in buttons:Any more ideas? |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
did you try changing any of the expressions from true > false - or false > true?

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
f2thak,
I have a different keyboard layout which requires me to use key-combos in order to input the up and down arrow. As I mentioned in my post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=27 I have different symbols where you have the up and down arrow, namely a scandinavian letter "ae" and puntuation mark. Due to this problem I'm only able to input down and right with the wiimote. |
Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
i think you need to set your keyboard layout to US...

Re: Use WiiMote as Bluetooth Gamepad or Remote Control (Working with Dr.NokSnes!)
