Linux (ubuntu karmic) input problem.. neither keyboard nor joystick work! - oogs - 12-07-2009

Help! I have tried a couple svn builds, 4653 being the most recent, and it seems to run fantastic. The framerate is amazing, etc.

However I can't play anything.

I am using a usb connected xbox 360 controller that DOES work.. I've tried it in other games.

The keyboard doesn't work either.

Basically, the game window is receiving no input from any device. Any thoughts? tried both the xbox plugin and the njoy plugin.
hmm.. well i tried mario sunshine and the controller works..

I am trying to play new super mario wii.. It asks you to hit 2 to continue.. Maybe thats the problem, theres no translatable 2 on the xbox controller..

Any ideas?

Sounds exactly like my problem: http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/thread-5529.html

Actually it seems as though its Wii-only games.. none of them are playable as the program doesn't accept any input of any kind..

It's weird because gamecube games work fine.

What's weird about this? The wii part of dolphin has it's own input plugins.

Well okay, perhaps it's not weird..

Anyhow, if you figure anything out be sure and let me know

Sure...

Btw, I tested r4654, still the same problem (svn log mentioned linux fixes so my hopes were high...)

Also, I tested input with a USB joypad. I was not really able to configure the buttons correctly, but the emu at least got the key presses. Weird.
