Ubuntu Logitech Dual Action USB Gamepad install with Ubuntu 7.10
HOWTO: Installing Logitech Dual action USB gamepad under ubuntu.
Here is what I did to install it and get it working with GSNESX.
Run update to make sure everything is current.
- sudo apt-get update
Install the joystick package.
- sudo apt-get install joystick
Install the joystick calibrator
- sudo apt-get install jscalibrator
Change the permissions so that I can use it.
- sudo chmod 666 /dev/input/js0
Haven’t quite figured out how to get gsnesx to recognize it from the gui.
So I run it from the command line it works great.
- snesx -joypad1 “/dev/input/js0″ gametoplay.smc
Voila!
If anyone knows how to get the gui to recognize it let me know.
Thanks.
Worked like a charm in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron as well. Thank you for the informaiton.
Just edit the /etc/snes9x/snes9x.conf and set the joydev1 to /dev/input/js0. Saves you the trouble of typing it every time and should work in the GUI.
