Use wireless Sixaxis DualShock 3 w PC emulators N64, PSX, CPSIII, etc on your HDTV (ubuntu wahcade)

[SirRoachtokeMacPuff]

Hello, I have qtsixa up and functioning. How do I pair this up with Wine?

[ob1kanukie]

Nice! Thanks for the How-To... Been working on retrofitting a MicroATX into the old NES system. This will work nicely!

[werewasyo]

does the sixaxis movement work as well?

[jolakos122]

thanks A LOT DUDE YOU ARE THE BEST!

[AngryFollower]

You've got some fucked up thumbs.

[RickyJamesPivotVids]

Hey what settings you use to run your roms cause on mine it's all pixely

[terraomastar]

I have a question about this (awesome vid btw).

Your specs are

CPU: Intel Pentium M 745 (1.8GHZ )

GPU: Radeon Mobility 9700 (64MB)

RAM: 768MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz

My specs are:

CPU: AMD Athlon Dual-Core QL-60 1.9 Ghz

GPU:NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G 1.3 GB RAM

RAM: 3 GB DDR SDRAM

Though it should be noted my OS is Vista. I know it's a hog, but my emulators run very laggy (PSX, N64 mainly). My question is: does Ubuntu free up that much stuff to make them run that well or is it something else you did?

[efaustus9]

@terraomastar While Vista is quite the resource hog, your specs are respectable enough that they should be able to emulate the systems reasonably well. You problem may be the emulator settings or the games you are trying to emulate. On the other hand ubuntu does free up a considerable amount of resources vs vista. Further you do not need to replace vista with ubutnu. You can install the linux operating system in windows if you like using wubi.

[chwergy]

@montigekyou that tutorial is for windows. No thanks.

[montigekyou]

@chwergy Lol, if you are a gamer why Mac? I love Mac for all the creativity and editing tools.

[chwergy]

@montigekyou Linux

[BushidoHacks]

How do I enter the bluetooth pin number for the controller?

[senalg7kh]

what is this program with emulators ?

[efaustus9]

@senalg7kh see description.

[senalg7kh]

hi :)

does this works with dualshock 2 ?

[efaustus9]

@senalg7kh yes you just need a dualshock 2 to usb adapter.

[GameUrg]

i can get it to work on ubuntu 11 :(

[sparta944]

I like turtles

[sparta944]

WHEN I HEARD WE WERE GUNNA B IN A MOVIE I I JUST SAID FFFFFFFUCK YEAH! AND WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THIS I DROPPED MY FAMILY SWORD AND THE BLADE FEŁL OUT AND I RAN TO GAMESTOP AND I BOUGHT 2 WIRELESS DUALSHOCK 3 AND I THOUGHT WIN!

[guitarherofreak161]

why is your n64 emulator that old.´

project 64v1.6 is much better as an emulator( quicker loadings and no lag no virus,trojan etc)

But i have to say i am impressed man i really am 5 Star

[pawzz1]

@guitarherofreak161

project 64, is not supported for ubuntu, so it does not run very well

[pawzz1]

it gives me this when i installed it:

E: Unable to locate package qtsixa



[OutlandishFlamingo]

@pawzz1 For those of you getting E: Unable to locate package qtsixa, run

sudo apt-get update

and then try again

[HUYI1]

now most recent laptops have a hdmi output now so vga is no longer needed, also normal windows supports emulators too, my partner uses a laptop to play emulators himself with a wireless dual shock 3. when you use windows you get to use zsnes gens plus and project 64 which has more compatibility and so on, so yeah your setup is kind of dated now, but using a laptop is much more easier than jailbreaking a ps3 for homebrew anyways.

[Vo0N83]

Why am I getting "E: Unable to locate package qtsixa" when I imput the second command?

This is the thing I hate about linux, commands change all the time so a year or so later it won't work!

[efaustus9]

@Vo0N83 The command should still work try the two commands again. what version of ubuntu are you using? 

[fennecfanatic]

@Vo0N83 maybe weird fringe tools like these, but most Linux tools are backwards-compatible to the point of absurdity. For example, dd mentions a compatibility flag that predates Linux entirely. Oo

[Gamer19975]

this is why i have 1 wired ps3 control

[1pacpal]

whats that ninja game called on 0.14 of the video it looks good

[efaustus9]

@1pacpal Killer Instinct

[Cancani123]

i can do this in some seconds just put in cable to laptop to tv and start my laptop open emulator do fullscreen done im placing aojdhfpaoughniaspghniosafhgnas­fgb llolOlololoLoloOLloLOol

[capcom4eva]

Isn't there some USB flash drive where we can just plug n play, w/ the PS3 controller preconfigured for all the emulator Arcade/SNES/etc. games, that we can just buy on ebay?

[efaustus9]

@capcom4eva I am aware of an usb adapter for the ps2. For the ps3 you do not need an adapter, in windows you can just use a driver to use the controller wired. It does not automatically configure all the emulators for you. I do not know of any adapter that does that. In ubuntu with the application qtsixa you can use the controller wired or wireless if you have bluetooth.

[TAMPATLBLACK]

Great video e-faust! Zerogame 0.52 just came too. This video is great for everyone that updated. I bought a used slim for PSN and still have the 3.15 phat though.

[sparced]

i need help mapping dual shock 3 controller to n64 layout. whats the best way.

[efaustus9]

@sparced are you using blights SDL input plug in? To check go to Options - configure then select the plugins tab. Once there make to the input plugin is blights SL input plug in. Let me know if that rectifies the problem for you.

[sparced]

@efaustus9 no i'm on a mac, i can do all that. it's deciding which buttons best suite the n64 layout. after a few frustrating attempts assigning them to suite goldeneye and zelda i gave up. apart from simple games like mario kart 64 i don't think it works well with the dual shock. i'd rather buy a pad but they're all wired.

[efaustus9]

@sparced The N64 controller is quite unique and creating a one map fits all is difficult. Ignoring the obvious mappings of start, L,R and the D pad. I typically have the c (camera) buttons mapped to the right analog. The right analog is the successor to the c buttons and is a decent map unless you are playing a fighting game. Then I use [ ] for B X for A and L2 for Z.

[kruykaze]

I got stuck after installing wahcade, can you please finish the tutorial?

Thank you!

[efaustus9]

@kruykaze I been a little busy lately and I havent decided on how to right up the last part so that it is as easy and strait forward as possible.

[websufs]

but do i need the cd? and do you have a linux for free iso?

[efaustus9]

@websufs you will need the game disk but if you dont have it its not hard to find. Ubuntu linux shown in the video is free. In the description you will find links where you can order a free ubuntu cd or download a ubuntu iso.

[websufs]

yo can u get Hitman for ps2 for it?

[efaustus9]

@websufs The most advanced ps2 emulator for ubuntu pcsx2 can run Hitman 2 ok provided you have a fairly powerful computer. Hitman contracts & blood money are unplayable w the emulator. You can play all three of the PC versions using wine in ubuntu and get by with a much weaker computer. You can configure the pc versions to use the ds3.

[kevinhawj13]

I don;t understand I have vga from my computer to my tv I see evything but then no audio. Why is that? Can someone help me please

[freedomisebergs]

@kevinhawj13 because you need to use a different cable for the sound, what you have to connect to the pc it is a green mini jack or an adaptor and the white and red to the TV or to your normal audio exit

[efaustus9]

@kevinhawj13 The vga cable by its self will not transmit audio. If you are using the cable shown in the video it has a 3.5mm attached to it for audio. Many hdtvs that have the vga input have a 3.5mm jack as well. Make sure you have the cable pluged into the appropreate jack on your pc and tv. Make sure the volume on your tv is turned up.

[kevinhawj13]

@efaustus9 Thanks for letting me know man. Appreciated it.

[Patass360]

...you told me to incase that happens, and it said there was nothing with that name to remove. Current status is I cant get it to connect again.

[efaustus9]

@Patass360 I sent you a message try it out let me know if it works for you.

[Patass360]

Ugh. Ok, so I ended up installing ubuntu on my netbook anyway because everyone swore it would run amazing. It does, and I like it, so whoo hoo. I'm having some issues connecting though, Alot of the time I'll get a window that says "Grand access to...." where the ... stands for a long series of numbers. It continues to pop up even after I say always grant access. I've gotten it to work once and it made the mouse cursor go to the bottom of the screen constantly. I tried installing the thing...

[UploadedL]

i have a problem i put my vga cable into the tv but nothing happends it doesnt even show anything on the computer

[efaustus9]

@UploadedL @UploadedL Is the computer off before you plug in the vga cable? Have you selected the PC input on your TV? Have you checked to see what PC resolution's your HDTV supports in the TV manual? Its good to shut the computer down before plugging in the vga cable. Make sure you have set your computers resolution to one that your TV supports before doing so. Also be sure to have the PC input selected in the TV menu. Once all that is done power the computer back up and let me know.

[Patass360]

Goddamn it, I'm still trying to get the dualshock 3 to work with Windows 7. I wish it were that simple. I mean, I COULD install Ubuntu, but I dont want to have to scour forever to find Linux applications for word, photoshop, a media player as good as vlc, a replacement for itunes, etc.

[efaustus9]

@Patass360 You can install ubuntu inside of windows 7 using wubi which is found on the ubuntu live cd. No worrying about partitioning, no need to find replacement programs for all your favorite windows apps. Just select windows or ubuntu at start up. However you can install many windows apps inside ubuntu using wine (itunes is a no go however).

[spike378]

lol you dont need those stuff SERIOUSLY READ THIS!!!

All you need is a computer, Sixaxis controller connected with usb cable with PS3 drivers for PC (look for it), any regular emulators ur using and find a way to output to ur tv like dvi to hdmi cable or adapter. Sound you can use ur pc speaker or 3mm jack cables. Walla thats all you need. You dont need any premium crap

[efaustus9]

@spike378 If you look in the description the premium crap I am suggesting collectively costs a total of $13 and the VGA cable comes with a 3mm jack for audio. Almost all computers have a VGA port as do many HDTVs. My method you dont need to "find a way to output to ur tv". It will work for many set ups and the picture quality will be good. You may not mind being tethered to your computer as you play on your tv but I'll spend the $3 to play wireless.

[ProjectReality64]

nice, probably do this when i get a new laptop

[xXJEDI007Xx]

You really don't need some of those stuff if you have a new computer like me I have a Sony VAIO and I just need a HDMI hooked up to the TV and the computer has Bluetooth integrated so just download the Drivers for the Sixaxis control and there you also most emulators are compatible with the Sixaxis.

Thanks for the video.

[efaustus9]

@xXJEDI007Xx I am sure, but I was going for the lowest common denominator. VGA ports can be found on just about all PCs, on many laptops/netbooks, and is also quite common on HDTVs as well. I mention the dongle in the absence of integrated bluetooth, "3. bluetooth or a bluetooth dongle". The sixaxis bluetooth drivers in linux are excellent the windows sixaxis bluetooth drivers are buggy. My method you can use just about any PC you have kicking around.
