Warning: RPi support should be considered as experimental. Be prepared to face issues if you try GIMX on the RPi.
GIMX can run on many Linux targets, and the the Raspberry Pi is one of them!
Contents
Tested setup
* Raspberry Pi: model B, 256MB * Distro: Raspbian wheezy * Self-powered USB hub: Belkin 7 ports F4U017 (self-powered = with an external power supply) * Keyboard: n25te plugged on the USB hub * Mouse: Logitech G500 plugged on the USB hub * PS3: FAT - FW 4.41
* Bluetooth dongle: Pluscom BT20 (CSR Bluecore4-rom) plugged on the USB hub
* DIY USB adapter: Teensy 2.0 + CP2102 plugged on the USB hub
GIMX installation
sudo apt-get install gdebi wget http://gimx.fr/download/gimx-raspbian.html --trust-server-names sudo gdebi sixemu_1.02-1_armhf.deb
Note: as of this writting, GIMX version is 1.02.
Stop/disable triggerhappy service
Triggerhappy is a daemon that opens every input device for reading, and that consumes a few percent of the CPU time.
It seems a good idea to stop it while running GIMX.
To stop triggerhappy:
sudo service triggerhappy stop
To disable triggerhappy:
sudo update-rc.d triggerhappy disable
Run GIMX
A good idea is to run GIMX directly from a terminal, without any desktop.
This can be done over the network, using a ssh client.
Ideally, GIMX should be launched without using the Ethernet port (because it is connected on the USB bus).
More details on command line options on this page.
Bluetooth
Before running GIMX, it is necessary to install the bluez package:
sudo apt-get install bluez
In a first terminal:
emu <PS3 bdaddr>
In a second terminal:
emuclient -c <config file>
The dongle address has to be changed before running the above commands.
DIY USB adapter
In a terminal:
emuclient -c <config file> -t joystick -r 4 -p /dev/<ttyUSB port>
Xbox 360 gamepads
There is sadly no driver provided with the raspberrypi Linux kernel.
