Can slitaz support psx gamepad which can be up to 5 pieces in one LPT1 port and add to package in cooking repository ?. This can be very fun to play Winning Eleven with 4 people at once with pcsxr-svn emulator like a PlayStation, PS1 or mybe PS2 and PS3 machine.
Oke... I have tried with your instuction... after installing the package - pluged my gamepad to LPT1, testing the plugins on the pcsxr Joystick Option.... and this the result:
This from modprobe command.
# modeprobe hid modprobe: module hid not found in modules.dep # modprobe joypad modprobe: module joypad not found in modules.dep
This from pcsxr plugin test:
Failed to initializing /dev/input/j0 (something like this)
The one provided by the website uses an older kernel (2.6.34) than the undigested copy (2.6.36). This tends to make the modprobe drivers you install from the repository not work because they're all made for the newer kernel 2.6.36.
The 4-in-1 should be unaffected by the bug, so it's safe to use the cooking repository's packages without having to worry. I think it was only the base flavor that got affected by the use of the older kernel.
BTW, thanks for testing that package - I haven't really tested it yet to make sure it can run all the games :P
# rmmod lp rmmod: can't unload 'lp': unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
# modprobe gamecon map=0,7 modprobe: module gamecon not found in modules.dep
And I'm very confused with the "modprobe gamecon map=0.7" command. Where gamecon.c is the source-code a part of the kernel-source-code files and I found in /usr/src/linux-2.6.36/drivers/input/joystick folder. And the "modprobe" command is for loaded the kernel modules have been installed in /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/ folders with FILE_NAME.ko or FILE_NAME.ko.gz.
Ok, here's what we get when we install slitaz's modules: /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/gameport /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/emu10k1-gp.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/ns558.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/input-polldev.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/joystick /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/analog.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/sidewinder.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.36-slitaz/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.ko.gz
So maybe try modprobe -v gameport, modprobe -v emu10k1-gp, modprobe -v ns558, modprobe -v input-polldev, modprobe -v joystick, modprobe -v analog, modprobe -v sidewinder or modprobe -v xpad and see if that works.
Yes, it's the same with me, but no file gamecon.ko (on SliTas maybe "gamecon.ko.gz")
and finally i found the file list from other distro with "gamecon.ko" on Kernel modules folder: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/kernel26/files/
See on line : lib/modules/2.6.36-ARCH/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/gamecon.ko
And Discution ( http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/1397 ) about how to know if the Kernel Module is supported or not by the Kernel Configuration with "zcat and grep" command. And the result is:
root@Apache2:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep GAMECON # CONFIG_JOYSTICK_GAMECON is not set root@Apache2:~#
which means that requires us to create a custom kernel for slitaz, so I asked to All Development Team of SliTaz GNU/Linux "Can slitaz support psx gamepad which can be up to 5 pieces in one LPT1 port and add to package in cooking repository ?".
Becouse my Compiz just PIII - 866Mhz Processor - 512Mb SDRAM - with Littel HeatSink and Fan on the Top of Processor and can couse hang and very hot on CPU every I tried to make custom kernel for my NVidia Video Driver or for this GAMECON Kernel Module.
