Title: Wii pro controller
Post by: zacmario on May 28, 2019, 03:00:49 PM

Is there a tce that plays nicely with the aforementioned Wii u pro controller? Also I'm looking for a tce that can take button presses from a controller and map them to keystrokes.

I want to use tiny core as a dosbox live setup

Hi zacmario
The kernel mode driver is enabled:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ modprobe -l | grep -i wii
kernel/drivers/hid/hid-wiimote.ko.gz
tc@box:~$
I don't see any extensions for the Wii though. These links might provide some useful information to point you in the right direction:

I don't know specifically about Wii/WiiU controllers, but in general xf86-input-joystick does that at X level if you use Xorg, it can emulate both keyboard and mouse. Then there's apps like joy2key.

Ok, I'll investigate both. I haven't tried xorg yet, so I'll have to check that out.
