Libre Games that can work with a xbox 360 controller
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
Hey guys,
For christmas, My Parents got me a new Alienware computer and it came bundled with a xbox 360 controller. I want to use this controller on my other GNU/linux rig (like the one i am typing on right now). Neverputt And Neverball were the only libre games i know of that work with the xbox 360 controller. Can you help me find some examples of libre games that work with the controller? Any help will be appreciated!
Does the xev command see its input? If yes, then you can bind they keys and play probably just about any game. (only limitation is number of [recognized] keys)
Open a terminal and typexeva white box appears, move the cursor inside of it. Now, when you press the keys on the controllor, do you get events?
For libre games, see https://libregamewiki.org/
I dont see anything on the event tester, but the command line says random things like:
KeyRelease event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x7d, subw 0x0, time 9128761, (506,681), root:(510,781),
state 0x10, keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES,
" XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) "
XFilterEvent returns: False
And
PropertyNotify event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
atom 0x127 (_NET_WM_STATE), time 9167414, state PropertyNewValue
Hope not random, lol!

This means that your input is now interpreted as hitting Enter. You can bind it (and the actual Enter at the same time...) to whatever key you want using e.g. xbindkeys-config, from similarly named package. Then run the xbindkeys daemon to get the bindings active.

Xbox 360 controllers send non-standard signals (XInput), but Linux supports them out-of-the-box, so you can use it like any standard controller. For the most part, it should work with any game.
Heck, here are a few games straight from me that should work just fine with it (I developed the first three, and am the current maintainer of the fourth):
http://pacewar.nongnu.org
http://retux.nongnu.org
https://onpon4.github.io/games/kitten_command/kitten_command-1.0-src.tar.gz
http://starfighter.nongnu.org
Here's an example of a nice game that's actually specifically designed to use the XBox 360 controller (the controls don't work well with other controllers that have different button arrangements):

And some more which you may or may not have heard of:
SuperTuxKart - http://supertuxkart.sf.net (or package "supertuxkart")
SuperTux - https://supertux.github.io (or package "supertux")
GLTron - package "gltron"
Kobo Deluxe - package "kobodeluxe"
Torus Trooper - package "torus-trooper"

This list is by no means exhaustive. I wish more libre games would natively support controllers, but the number that currently do is much more than two.
