Can confirm the Mario Kart 64 + mupen64plus + Accelemymote = win. It seems like the default max_pitch and max_roll might be a bit too low for ideal control sensitivity, so i will increase them in the next release.

Forward and back don't actually do anything on the joystick in Mario Kart, do they? Is it possible to map those to accelerate/brake in the config file? That combined with proximity sensor for fire button would leave only jump uncovered for playing with keyboard closed.

Note that this is only a good option for people with no friends, because receiving a SMS or IM notification makes a big mess of emulation smoothness.

back on the joystick lets you fire shells backwards and forward lets you lob banana ahead of you.

I agree that its great fun with accelmymote although much harder to get the stearing right!

i would recommend anyone to use the N900 only as an internet tablet anyway since it's much faster in offline mode.

Not sure if it's possible to make any of the keys on top of the phone do anything, but if the camera key could be used to fire items then it'd be fine with the current set up (assuming proximity sensor works as A button)

hello guys i had some time to test a few games.
my phone runs at stock 600 mhz i used the updated gui version,all games without sound and played with sixaxis.
speed is shown in percent.so lets start


mario 64 -100%
zelda ocarina of time-70%
turok 1-100% map has some grafik glitches
turok 2 seeds of evil-80% same glitches like 1
turok 3 shadow of oblivion-60% strong graphic glitches
fighting force- big glitches game is not playable
cruisn usa-50%
cruisn world-50%
extreme g 1-50%
extreme g 2 -50%
1080 snowboarding-90%
super smash brothers-60% charas have no eyes
aeoro fighters aussault-70%
banjo kazooie-80%
banjo tooie-very slow game start,crushes at intro
battle tanks-rom crushes
bomberman 64-same as above
dark rift-same as above
blast corps-mupen shuts down
donkey kong-mupen shuts down
iss 64-80% graphic bugs
iss 98-80%
iss 2000-70%
yoshis story-many graphical bugs,game not starting

sry that i post it here but cant find the mupen compatibility list at the wiki

Let me add Ready 2 Rumble 2 to this list 80% - Game is perfect when fighting - menus etc look a little wonky.

so its about 65 yo 70 % can play a game.

I've been able to successfully play 3 player Rampage & Rampage 2 (though both are choppy) with 3 sixaxis controllers. Configuration is a snap. Just configure the 1st controller as you like it ([controller 0]) and then copy and paste the mapping from that one over each of the other ones ([controller 1] through [controller 3]). Here are some additional pointers about controller mappings that may or may not be obvious:
* Backup your original configuration--it's very useful as a reference if you already have some things mapped the way you like it.
* Controller should be marked as plugged in (aka plugged=1)
* The mouse input should be off (aka mouse=0) unless you are configuring keyboard input (see details below on keyboard mappings)
* Change the "device" setting for each controller mapping properly ([controller 0] gets device=0, [controller 1] gets device=1, etc).
* Don't map keyboard keys yet (since you are going to copy the same mappings to each controller section). They should all be set to 0.
* When mapping joystick buttons, keep in mind that the blight button mappings are indexed starting at 0 as opposed to the sixaxis configuration button mappings indexed starting at 1.

Once you have your configuration set just how you like it, back it up! For example, I've copied mine to blight_input.conf.p1joystick.

At this point, if you want to also support keyboard mappings, now is a good time to start tweaking that. Here are some pointers for that:
* Having mouse input enabled (aka mouse=1) allows you to use the sixaxis controller joystick (though I understand it makes control-backspace not function correctly). This setting along with sixaxis button to key mapping functionality allows you to setup your config to work with both the keyboard and sixaxis controller simultaneously pretty well.
* Change the "device" setting for only the 1st porfile ([controller 0]) to keyboard (aka device=keyboard).

Like the controller-based config you already did, once you have your keyboard configuration set just how you like it, back it up! For example, I've copied mine to blight_input.conf.p1keyboard.

Other than the obvious benefits of having your configurations backed up, you also now have the ability to switch between the two easily (either by xterm, power button configs, queen bee widget, etc). I personally just do it the old fashion way using xterm made easier by adding the following to user's .profile script:

Oh, also keep in mind that if you opt for the sixaxis w/keyboard input style of configuration, be sure that
keys you map don't conflict with other mupen64plus keys. For example, my L2 button is mapped to 'q'
which by default will quit/stop the n64 rom emulation. Rather than change my sixaxis key mapping, I decided
to simply change the "Kbd Mapping Stop" key in the mupen64plus.conf file.

Hope this helps!

Yes, yes it is :P F-Zero X and most other games are also rather enjoyable with it (it takes more getting use to than a joystick though).

As said, forward and back choose direction of shells/bananas etc. What I have done is map proximity sensor to A (accelerate) and the touch screen to Z (fire) and its perfect.

This is done by opening .conf (~/.mupen64plus/blight_input.conf) file and setting mouse ( 1 ) next to the Z section. Note that I don't think you need mouse=1 at the top either.

I wouldn't recommend using this if your expecting a call, no :P I am curious about this... as the PSX emulator seems to have no issue with "alt+tabbing". A simple manual fix is to hit P everytime you want to change window to pause it.


Just with this one. Change frameskip (frame render in the .conf file) to 3 and it runs fantastically! (They still have no eyes)

Awesome instructions! I've just added the link to the first page. I'll probably just modify my configs to already have controllers 1-3 set up with identical controls though.

izzeHo where can i find the mupen conf file?i searched at /etc but cant find it there.can you give me pls a little hint?
