I have two gravis gamepads working with snes9x. You have to use the "joydev" and "joymap" arguments to find the joypads and map their buttons to the equivalent keyboard keys. I wrote a little wrapper script for myself so I don't have to type in the mappings all the time. Try this (works with the Gravis Gamepad Pro -- other pads may require different mappings): ==== cut here ==== #!/bin/bash # snes # A wrapper script for snes9x that adds mappings for joysticks and # common options so they don't have to be typed every time. # define the joystick devices JOY1=/dev/input/js0 JOY2=/dev/input/js1 # This mapping is the same as a default super nes, found at: # http://www.resexcellence.com/index_archive/index_04-01d.shtml MAP1="2 1 3 0 4 5 9 8" MAP2="$MAP1" # call the actual binary, passing the joystick args # the '-y' enables 'hi-res' mode snes9x -y -joydev1 $JOY1 -joymap1 $MAP1 -joydev2 $JOY2 -joymap2 $MAP2 "$@" ==== cut here ==== Best of luck, Jason -- Jason Healy http://www.logn.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
