[LINUX] ZSNES via XBMC using xboxdrv and wireless controller - dangerjosh - 2012-03-05

This is a project I'm working on with my roommate, so tell me if I need to include more information...I guess I only have half? Anyhoo...

Just installed XBMC on our new htpc, got the USB adapter for xboxdrv to use the wireless 360 controller with it. That part works...the part that's not working is controller use after launching ZSNES. The controller still controls XBMC running in the background...and they keyboard on the HTPC controls the ZSNES window. We can't for the life of us figure out how to get the controller controling ZSNES.

We've searched the forums a bit, and Google a lot...not finding a solution to this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

yay xbmc,
Danger

i recommend to write a little script which kills xbmc, starts zsnes, and restarts xbmc when zsnes is closed. works great in combination with advanced launcher (and probably with rom collection service too)

if zsnes doesn´t allow to edit the controls via GUI, then it will have some config files you have to adjust.
