Hi Folks! Recently I installed the educational games "Childsplay" into my Freevo box (as well as PPracer), and I'm looking at other educational games for my kids. I'm not a gamer, so I'm not really all that fluent in what makes a great gamepad. I know there are drivers for the Xbox 360 wireless controller, and some for the Wiimote. I think the Wiimote concept is the probable better choice, but I'm not sure about the maturity of the Linux drivers. So, here I am asking for a few opinions before I decide what I'm going to do, as I have a lot of respect for the expertise and community spirit of the folks on this list.
Here are my specific questions: As a general purpose gaming controller, how does the 360 compare to the Wiimote? (Under Linux or on their native platforms). I know it's apples vs oranges to some extent, but I'm thinking primarily of general compatibility/usability with a variety of game types, by non-gamer type adults and young kids. How are the Linux drivers? The xpad ones have been around a while, and use the joystick subsystem, so they are really stable. How are the CWiid drivers? Does xpad also offer mouse pointer capability? Anything I've missed? Thanks in advance for any opinions provided, and have a great weekend! /Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
