I believe you have the joystick working. Try to see command line in another reply.

Otherwise you can use joy2key. I use it for games that does not suport joystick in zaurus.

Rename the file, without ".txt"

Give me your return.

Seems like I'm missing a library file "libsl.qmid"
I used Tree!explorer and looked in /home/QtPalmtop//i18n/en/
Only file in there is ".directory"
Here's my output:

You have trouble with these "rom".

[sidmoraes]

Anywhere. Then run: ./joy2key -config kbd1
Did you se a file called ".joy2keyzrc" ?

[Jon_J]

sorry for the newb questions, but when I run /joy2key -config kbd1
I get "No such file or directory"
"joy2key_z.tgz" is in the root dir of my SD card
Should I place it on my internal hard drive, or can I change to my card directory, and run it from there?

flashback.smc did run from the frontend in Qtopia (Z Emu Frontend Ex)
Thank you,
Jon

if you have gtar >>
******************
su -
gtar -zxvf joy2key_z.tgz
cp joy2key-z /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/joy2key
cp .joy2keykeyzrc /home/root
joy2key -config kbd1
******************

start your game and give to me your feedback.

[Jon_J]

I didn't have gtar, so I found this version from this forum. Post is dated June 2005.
(gtar_1.13.25-1_arm.ipk)
After I installed gtar, I followed your directions and below is my output.
"joy2key_z.tgz" is on my SD card. Is that causing a problem?
My SD card is formatted as FAT
--------------------------------
$ su -
# gtar -zxvf joy2key_z.tgz
tar (child): joy2key_z.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
gtar: Child returned status 2
gtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Did you renamed the file from joy2key_z.tgz.txt to joy2key_z.tgz ?

[Jon_J]

I removed the *.txt extension. I'll try downloading it again.
I think it is corrupt, because I just tried winrar (in windows) and extracted "joy2key-z" & ".joy2keyzrc", but got this error from winrar:
! E:\DL ect\Zaurus\Zaurus SL C3100\Apps\Games\joy2key_z.tgz: CRC failed in E:\DL ect\Zaurus\Zaurus SL C3100\Apps\Games\joy2key_z.tgz. The file is corrupt

I also used the "test archive" in winrar and got the same message.
Is winrar an acceptable method for checking downloaded *.tgz and/or *.ipk files for download corruption?

Thank you,
Jon
EDIT. I just downloaded it again, removed the *.txt extension in windows, and opened it in winrar and tested it. Winrar gives me the same corruption message about CRC failing in this file, as above.

2nd EDIT. I just tested several *.tgz files, that I have downloaded for my Zaurus, in Winrar, and Got "No errors found during test operation"

Does joy2key_z.tgz.txt need to be converted? Like in a newsreader "from text to bin", or something like that?

I does not use windows to open these file. Use gunzip and tar or gtar in your Z.

here is how I did it, I took a Super Nintendo game controller and a usb keyboard, traced out the pins for the corrosponding keys(on the keyboard)then wired the buttons on the SNES controller to those points I traced on the keyboard, the small circuitry of the keyboard actually fitted into the SNES controller. End result is a SNES controller with a usb cable that sends keyboard data via usb to the zaurus. I payed $8.00 (usd) for the controller and $15.00 (usd) for the keyboard. Works perfectly!

will post pictiures and keyboard manufacturer on my site when I get some time. Along of course with details of what pins connect to what buttons.

Successully make my joypad works in Cacko-lite 1.23.

1. I have installed input-modules-2.4.20_1.23-lite-1_arm.ipk, (ver 2.4.18 not work for me).

2. Then lsusb in console to get my joypad HID. My joybad is a Zeroplus vibration model, with ID# 0c12:0005.

3. Next add the ID# in /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap. I just copy one entry any one of joypad in the file and replace the 2nd and 3rd parameter with above, i.e. 0x0c12 0x0005

4. reboot my C1000 and it works in jstest and snes9x!

BTW, here is a link of usb id list.
