Here's how you do it from the GUI. Please be aware that wiicontrol comes from Extras-Devel, so the usual disclaimers apply.

• Install any Python app from the repositories (e.g. gPodder, ...)
• Download the .deb file from the URL below
• Open it and install it with the application manager
• Start the app from the application menu
• ...
• PROFIT!

The download URL: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ol_1.0_all.deb

(You can also select "wiicontrol" directly from the application manager if you temporarily enable Extras-devel (instructions can be found on the Wiki), but make sure to disable it after installing wiicontrol, or you will get lots of problems with unstable apps...)

Install first python (canola or ukmp should do the trick)

Install wiicontrol from here:
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa...ol-1.0_all.deb

Once you run wiicontrol, it asks you to press 1+2 on your wiimote. Do so. A few secs passes and voila. You have a nicely working controller for games / presentation use.

Works brilliantly for Doom, Bomberman, emulators, or even as remote for music playback.

Anyway, this is the first version, so don't be surprised it all doesn't go as planned.

You need the packages cwiid-utils, libcwiid and python-cwiid. Then get a config file for wminput. Here is what I am using, nothing special:

Code:

Wiimote.A                = KEY_A
Wiimote.B                = KEY_B
Wiimote.Up               = KEY_LEFT
Wiimote.Down             = KEY_RIGHT
Wiimote.Left             = KEY_DOWN
Wiimote.Right            = KEY_UP
Wiimote.Minus            = KEY_M
Wiimote.Plus             = KEY_P
Wiimote.Home             = KEY_H
Wiimote.1                = KEY_X
Wiimote.2                = KEY_Y

Nunchuk.C                = KEY_C
Nunchuk.Z                = KEY_Z

Plugin.nunchuk_stick2btn.Up     = KEY_UP
Plugin.nunchuk_stick2btn.Down   = KEY_DOWN
Plugin.nunchuk_stick2btn.Left   = KEY_LEFT
Plugin.nunchuk_stick2btn.Right  = KEY_RIGHT

I placed this file in

Code:

 /usr/etc/cwiid/wminput/nunchuk

.
Then turn on bluetooth and start wminput as

Code:

wminput nunchuck

.
Press 1+2 on your Wiimote and you should be connected.

In the settings of DrNokSNES you can configure your preferred keyboard mappings, for example I mapped "Start" to "Plus (p)" and "Select" to "Minus (m)" and "Back to launcher" to "Home (h)".

Hint: To check whether wminput is working as expected, connect your Wiimote and open the notes application. Now pressing the keys A,B,C and Z should show up as a,b,c and z in the notes window. 1 and 2 shoud result in x and y and the nunchuk should move the cursor.
