Did you continue your investigations or did anyone ask the author to fix Wiicontrol for PR1.2?

Hi. I am running wiicontrol on my N810, and the first times it worked. However, after restarting, all keys in all 4 modes were return. When I start it in the comand line, I get:

~/.osso $ wiicontrol
/home/user/.osso/current-gtk-key-theme:1: Unable to find include file: "keybindings.rc"
Press 1+2 in your wiimote and wait a moment
Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 => 00:1B:7A:31:F6:2A
NINTENDO WIIMOTE FOUND AT: 00:1B:7A:31:F6:2A
Locked to mote:00:1B:7A:31:F6:2A
Press 1+2 in your wiimote

Wiimote connected. Have fun!

I can not go into the folder "current-gtk-key-theme"

~/.osso $ cd current-gtk-key-theme
-sh: cd: can't cd to current-gtk-key-theme
~/.osso $ ls -a

Please help!

I got frustrated with it.

By copying the wiicontrol.py file and changing the key mappings, I was able to play basic arrow keys + A and B sorts of games. But the Wiimote shuts off / stops working when either the N900 goes to sleep, or when I stop pressing buttons on the Wiimote.

Once the Wiimote stops working, I need to take the batteries out and wait hours until I can reinsert them and synch with Wiicontrol. It's like the Wii remote has persistent memory that makes synchronization with the N900 impossible after a failure.

At least for the N900 you can find it here:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...iicontrol/1.0/

But please be aware that it's not in a usable state atm.

Not very encouraging but thanks anyway for the quick update.

I've now re-packaged cwiid for Maemo 5 - you can now use the (slightly more efficient?) wminput application from cwiid-utils instead of wiicontrol. Here's a quick HOWTO:

Install cwiid-utils from Extras-Devel
sudo gainroot
modprobe uinput
chmod a+rw /dev/input/uinput
exit (Ctrl+D)
wminput -c ./maemo-sideways

The maemo-sideways configuration file contains:

Code:

Wiimote.Up	= KEY_LEFT
Wiimote.Down	= KEY_RIGHT
Wiimote.Left	= KEY_DOWN
Wiimote.Right	= KEY_UP

Wiimote.A	= KEY_A
Wiimote.B	= KEY_B

Wiimote.Minus	= KEY_M
Wiimote.Home	= KEY_H
Wiimote.Plus	= KEY_P

Wiimote.1	= KEY_C
Wiimote.2	= KEY_D

Now you can configure the keys in the emulators. The directional keys are mapped so that you hold the wiimote sideways, like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Of course, you can create your own configuration file and do nice things (e.g. map the Nunchuk analog stick to a joystick, ...) - see the wminput help for details.

It seems that the package is missing a dependency to "python-cwiid". I had to manually install it otherwise I got a "ImportError: No module named cwiid" when starting wminput.

wminput -c ./maemo-sideways

I've followed the instructions but everytime I do the last bit

wminput -c ./maemo-sideways

I get a segmentation error.

EDIT: It's working now - there was something wrong with config file. Downloaded some examples from the internet and everything is working perfectly.
