Once you've installed wiicontrol (some people report it asking for python - if it does, install a python editor from maemo extras), you may need to edit the wiicontrol file to change key mappings (or to view them full stop)... Am happy to post instructions of how to do that if needs be.

It involes the lovely sudo gainroot command though!

Once you've got it all installed, make sure bluetooth is on before you start wiicontrol, and you'll need to have started the wiimote searching before you start the prog too. It should then find it.

yeah i found that out too @ wiicontrol xD
i downloaded zeemote thinking its a general program for bluetooth-peripherals instead of a specific program for the actual zeemote-device.

i dont need any phyton-editor though, because mapping buttons works just fine in the drnoksnes-emulator. except for the b-trigger, that it.
and there are no up/down on the dpad, but 2 times left and 2 times right.

anyway, i'd be more interested in making nunchuck and classic controller work!

If you want zeemote support use the version on the zeemote thread,
if you don't want zeemote support use the version on my site.
Anything else is a test.

hey guys.. i hope, it is ok to use this thread for my question..
when the n900 was launched back in the end of november, i tried to install drnoksnes via deb file, as the emulators already were taken out of the repositories.

as a complete linux noob, i first tried to install the drknoksnes-dbg 1.2.2 file, which (i think) was not the correct action, so i also installed drnoksnes.deb and everything works..

unfortunately, i am encountering problems while updating to the newer version, as the uninstallation of drnoksnes-dbg is not possible, and i don't know how to solve that, as i could not uninstall it via xterm.

any help would be appreciated pretty much :

i am also looking for a tutorial on how to make the classic controller work.

Here the easiest way to edit files remotelly from your computer using only graphical interface. Just connect to the N900 (via SHH) in 3 steps:

1) In the N900, install "OpenSSH Server" available in Maemo Extra repository (now called maemo.org) and note down password requested during the process:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...penssh-server/

2) Check which is the IP of your N900 installing desktop widget "Personal IP Address":
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/M...al-ip-address/
Of course you can also use xterm command "ifconfig" after getting root access with "sudo gainroot", command requiring "Rootsh" application installed), but widget is easier.

3) From your PC, install WinSCP client and connect to the N900
http://winscp.net/
Use following details for connection:

Host name: IP address checked in step 2
User name: root
Password: the one noted down in step 1
Port number: 22
File protocol: SFTP
Allow SCP: checked

Of course if you have not a windows PC or you don't like WinSCP you can use any other SSH client, e.g. from Linux you will find directly searching in the repository.

Now you can manage your files easilly, e.g. you can jump to "/usr/bin" folder and right click on "wiicontrol" file to edit (I suggest after making a backup copy).

This is the part of code you can edit (e.g. to replace 'space' and 'Return' with other character to change buttons 1 and 2), you will find a similar section for each wiicontrol modality:

Code:

mapping={
    'U': ["a Left"],
    'D': ["a Right"],
    'L': ["a Down"],
    'R': ["a Up"],
    'A': ["k F4"],       # Application menu
    '+': ["k F7"],       # Zoom/volume +
    '-': ["k F8"],       # Zoom/volume -
    '1': ["a space"],       
    '2': ["a Return"],   
    'H': ["k Return"],              # Home button is broken. Do not use it
    'GU': ["a Up"],
    'GD': ["a Down"],
    'GL': ["a Left"],
    'GR': ["a Right"],
    'Z': ["a z"],        
    'C': ["a c"]    
    }

NOTE: However there should be no issue in the original wiicontrol file, I think you simply have a different keyboard layout, do you have full arrows key? If not you can just simulate the full arrow key changing the N900 hardware keyoboard setting to english, or typing following command in the xterminal:

Code:

setxkbmap us

To restore the original keyboard type this:

Code:

setxkbmap xx

(where xx is your layout, e.g. it for italy). See also http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36680

I have attempted to download this from:

Catalog Name: Maemo Nintendo Emulators
Web Address: http://b-man.xceleo.org/repo/maemo-nintendo-emulators/
Distribution: (Leave Blank)
Components: main

For the SNES Emulator but when I go to download and install it says I need to have

libzeemote
libzeemote-conf

A friend of mine gave me the repo info from the website unlockr and says he didn't have to download these two files. now am guessing these need to come from the Maemo Devel repository? Which I didn't really want to add as am not a expert user and don't wanna risk bricking my phone etc... so what other options are there for getting it downloaded?
