Game Controllers [Gamepads]
Most game controllers will be auto detected within Linux and the game should auto-detect it as well.
Game Controllers reported to work within Windows' box:
Logitech Chillstream [Confirmed]
Xbox 360 Controller
Logitech F710
Streetfighter gamepad
Logitech F310
Logitech Wireless Rumblepad 2

Note:
You may want to increase the idle time, because the game controller won't active the game or your desktop.
System > Preferences > Screensaver
"Regard the Computer as idle after"

Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
Troubleshooting:
- The Regedit may not be needed for everyone, as others have reported getting the game to work without it.
- I have tried versions 1.0 and 1.0.1 stand-alones [non-steam], but I couldn't get the game to load. I believe it was linked to a directX issue.
- "Emulated desktop" fixes the problem of the black screen with music.
Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
Do you have speed issues? My game loads and runs but it seems to be running at about double speed.
I'm using wine 1.2 so that might be the problem. I'll try that.
Also, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Wine > AppDefaults" does not exist so I cannot edit the video memory size.
Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
Hello Kimos,
Oops, I should have made a note about that. In the regedit, if it doesn't exist, you either have to create it yourself and auto make one. winecfg > "Add an Application" and navigate to your ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/SuperMeatBoy.exe
I have also woundered if my start menu within Super Meat Boy was a bit fast, but ingame results with normal speed.

Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
I tried the method described and it works fine. But some levels don't show up correctly sometimes, which is weird because it seems to happen randomly. And I can atest to the fact that the menu is really fast, but in game it's all fine.
Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
Here, try some of these regedit tweaks. I have not gotten any of these graphical errors. I have only gotten 2 crashes within 10 hours of play.

That's almost no information to go on. No configuration, error output, version numbers, install method, or anything. Not much anyone can do for you.

Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
I could not find either "AppDefaults" or /Program Files/Steam
when i get to Program Files the only two folders that are available are Common Files and Internet Explorer
I am running winecfg as the root user btw
also, when i start thee game through steam, all that is shown are the white letters and a completely black screen
Re: HOWTO: Super Meat Boy + Game Controller
andrex316, You can NOT run wine EVER as root. You must uninstall wine and reinstall wine. You did not install steam or super meat boy as well or you installed it to somewhere else other your wine/drive_c/Program Files.
Code:
sudo apt-get remove wine
Then follow the guide again and you should be set.
