Hello everyone,

I have compiled the xpad.ko kernel module that allows you to connect either wired or wireless (using a wireless receiver) XBOX 360 controllers to the CAANOO.
It's available here.

Enjoy!

Thanks that will come in handy.

wow! fun! but i don't have a xbox controller
anyway, please continue to work on the caanoo

How can i use this?

How can i use this?

To install the application (only needed once):

• Extract xpad_0.1.7.tar.gz/bin to the applications folder on the SD card
  
• [firmware 1.6.1] Edit the file /mnt/ubifs/usr/gp2x/common.ini (located on the flash drive of your CAANOO) and add the following two lines to the end of the file:
  

  [usbhost]enable = 1

• Restart your CAANOO

Every time you want to use a XBOX 360 controller:

• Execute the XBOX 360 Controller application.
  
• Start a game or emulator and enjoy!

The controllers are available as joysticks, and so far I have only tried with PicoDrive.

Works fine for me Thanx a lot !

FW 1.6.1, I didn't have to modify common.ini .

Works fine with Picodrive, but on Mame, it's weird. The player keeps going to the same direction.

Vid here for Picodrive :




EDIT : Would it be possible to use a 360 PAD connected with USB, not in wireless ? Tried it but doesn't work.

Yes, it should work. Unfortunately I don't have a wired controller to test (only the wireless that come with the XBOX 360).
Maybe the device ID is not on the module, please connect the controller to your computer and do a lsusb and post the results here.
And thank you for the video, it should help anyone that's trying to use the module!

Hi,

Has anyone with a wired controller got this working or do I need to buy the 360 wireless controller dongle for it to work?

I have a usb controller and didn't realise it would not work, can anyone please advise on the above question?

Thanks

If you have a wired controller and have already confirmed that it doesn't work, then please connect it to your computer and post the results of the following linux commands: lsusb and usb-devices

Hi there,

I tried the wired controller using the instructions to get it working (I am not using the 1.61 firmware so didn't alter any files via telnet which is good because I can't do it after much trying.)

The wired controller does not work in games or on the menu

Tried running those commands but without knowing what im doing or where im doing it I just get the error "not found"

Sorry but I am too new to linux to be of any use



Can anyone confirm this just works with no messing around with an xbox wireless wireless and wireless xbox controller dongle? might just but one of thats the case

Any modern linux should have one those two installed by default.
Perhaps someone else who's having the same problem can post that information.

So essentially you could use the Caanoo in this instance as a console if you have it connected via tv out? And then use the wireless 360 controller? Wow, just another reason for me to get a Caanoo!
