gamepad-to-keyboard translation
Locked
 
|
I was able to get FCE Ultra installed. I like it better than my other
NES emulators. Thanks for the help. However, it doesn't seem to detect my gamepad. I know the gamepad is fine because it works for my Sega emulator, and Mandriva can calibrate it. Could anyone tell me the names of any popular gamepad-to-keyboard translators for Linux? Internet browsing is really slow on my dial-up, and it would really help if someone could point me in the right direction. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?

Punch Out is a lot more fun using a gamepad than a keyboard, let me tell you. My compliments to the creators of fceu, whoever they may be. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
