How to use joy2key for SIXAXIS joypad (or any really!)

[magnetic651]

My second joystick must be mouse0, as plugging and unplugging the second mouse makes mouse0 appear and disappear in dev/input

However when I try:

joy2key -dev /dev/input/mouse0 -terminal

I get:

joy2key - reads joystick status and dispatches keyboard events

Error opening /dev/input/mouse0!
Are you sure you have joystick support in your kernel?

Any ideas on what to do here??

I got it all working, one of the emulators gave me the button layout.

Thanks for this. I got my generic acme gamepad working on lucid with wine. It shows up in lsusb as

Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0079:0011 DragonRise Inc.

Here is my .joy2keyrc:

COMMON
-X
-dev /dev/input/js0
-thresh 0 0 0 0 0 0 -16383 16383 -16383 16383 0 0

START tomb
-X
-buttons Control_L q e space h v Shift_L g Escape Tab
-axis 0 0 1 1 2 2 a d w s 5 5

As you can see this device has 10 buttons and 6 axis (4 of which are rubbish?).
Once wine is started you attach joy2key with

joy2key -config tomb "Tomb Raider: Underworld"

The last one is the window name. For full-screen you may see it with alt+tab or something.

Hey everybody
I have this all set up in ubuntu, I have two terminal windows open. One running mupen64plus and the other is running joy2key. the one running joy2key is telling me it's sending the correct keys.
iscap is now 0 sendkey: button_upper: 0 keycode 0x000036 54 sendkey: keysym c
state hex 10
iscap is now 0 sendkey: button_upper: 0 keycode 0x000034 52 sendkey: keysym z
state hex 10
iscap is now 0 sendkey: button_upper: 0 keycode 0x000034 52 sendkey: keysym z
state hex 10

i wanted to push c and z on the keyboard, and it recognized that.
The problem is that it won't communicate with mupen64plus.
I used the same controller on project64 for windows for the same game. (zelda)
I have tried clicking on the emulator window, the terminal window it's running from, and don't know what else I could try.
Thanks for all the help!

Also, I should point out that I can type on my computer with my controller now. I can type c,x,z, and move back and forth through text with the joystick. It is working, just won't send the info to mupen64plus.
