RPi

GIMX can run on many Linux targets, and the Raspberry Pi is one of them!

Tested setup

* Raspberry Pi: model B, 256MB
* Distro: Raspbian wheezy
* Self-powered USB hub (Belkin 7 ports F4U017)
* Keyboard: n25te plugged on the USB hub
* Mouse: Logitech G500 plugged on the USB hub
* Bluetooth dongle: Pluscom BT20 (CSR Bluecore4-rom) plugged on the USB hub

Fix for USB issues

A firmware update is required to fix USB issues (missing mouse & keyboard events - source).

Instructions:

sudo apt-get install git-core
sudo wget http://goo.gl/1BOfJ -O /usr/bin/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update
sudo BRANCH=fiq_split rpi-update

Run GIMX

A good idea is to run GIMX directly from a terminal, without any desktop.

This can be done over the network:

ssh pi@<ip address>
emu <PS3 bdaddr>

ssh pi@<ip address>
emuclient -c <config file>

The dongle address has to be changed before running the above commands.
