Hi Tommy,
I’ve added your article on http://www.geany.org/Main/Reviews. Hope this is okay for you.
Please let me know if you don’t want it to be listed there.

Comment on Console emulation in Linux: The Nintendo family by yauch

Any one know how to use a xbox360 controler that has been set up with xboxdrv with vba-m? I don’t know what to put in the cfg file!
it looks like this:

#
# Key configuration (all numbers are in hexadecimal!)
#
# Keys values are in the format YYYYXXXX where YYYY is the device number.
# 0 means keyboard and XXXX is the SDL define for the desired key
# (read SDL_keysym.h).
#
# If YYYY is greater than 0, it means joystick number YYYY-1 and it uses the
# following format for XXXX:
#
# - if XXXX = XXXX > 30, then XXXX is the HAT number multiplied by 4 plus the
# direction: 0 for up, 1 for down, 2 for right and 3 for left. Example:
# 0021 is HAT 0 down, 0026 is HAT 1 right.
# - if 80 >= XXXX > 100, XXXX is the joystick button number (XXXX-0080).
#
# Default key configuration is (value in parenthesis):
#
# Left Left Arrow (00000114)
# Right Right Arrow (00000113)
# Up Up Arrow (00000111)
# Down Down Arrow (00000112)
# A Z (0000007a)
# B X (00000078)
# L A (00000061)
# R S (00000073)
# Start ENTER (0000000d)
# Select BACKSPACE (00000008)
# Speed up SPACE (00000020)
# Capture F12 (00000125)
# Auto A Q (00000071)
# Auto B W (00000077)
#
Joy0_Left=0114
Joy0_Right=0113
Joy0_Up=0111
Joy0_Down=0112
Joy0_A=007a
Joy0_B=0078
Joy0_L=0061
Joy0_R=0073
Joy0_Start=000d
Joy0_Select=0008
Joy0_Speed=0020
Joy0_Capture=0125
Joy0_AutoA=0071
Joy0_AutoB=0077

For other emulators I’d use something like

joy1
joy7
axis3
etc and here they have hex numbers

I hate to be *that guy* but what wallpaper is showing in this picture (http://www.blastfromthepast.se/blabbermouth/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/screenshot_002.png)? I’ve seen and probably even used it before, but I can’t find it. Thanks!

Mariana: Sure. You should be able to install Caffeine on Linpais. It’s just plain old Ubuntu with a couple of pre-installed packages. However, the instructions in this post are kind of old. Caffeine is actually at version 1.0.1, and the installation instructions have changed a bit. Check the wiki at http://www.blastfromthepast.se/caffeine/index.php?title=Downloads for newer information. Simply follow the instructions for Ubuntu and it should work just fine.

Hi There, I am new to Linux, a friend of mine has just installed ubuntu linpais to my old laptop and I have to say I like it a lot and find it easy to work with. I was wondering if I can install caffeine on to it.

Thank you

Geany is light and fast and has just the important features. It’s my favorite IDE for over 2 years. You can generate your custom tag from scanning the source code, I like this feature. But it lacks of color theme, you have to download them separately.
