Recommended gamepad for WINE?

Post by PESplayer »

Hello,

I am using WINE(1.5.25) on Linux Mint 14 to play Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 and am looking for a USB controller to use it with.
Problem is that I don't want to buy something only to find out it is not detected by WINE.
Does anyone have any experience with a particular gamepad that is easy to set up with WINE and generally works as expected?

Thanks.

The XBox wireless controller is what I recommend for Windows games under WINE. It's tricky to set up, however, it, for some games is the ONLY controller that works. Tomb Raider 2013, for instance ONLY uses the Xbox controller. And I'm sure there are more.

requires 2 files to be dowloaded, a zip archive containing 5 you copy into the game directory and the Linux driver

xbox360cemu.v.3.0.rar & xboxdrv

once the files are copied into place and xboxdrv is installed (Linux)
run it with: xboxdrv --silent --detach-kernel-driver --trigger-as-button --ui-axismap x2=ABS_Z,y2=ABS_RZ --ui-buttonmap A=BTN_B,B=BTN_X,X=BTN_A,TR=BTN_THUMBL,TL=BTN_MODE,GUIDE=BTN_THUMBR
