This seems kinda banal, but with an SNES and a VBA emulator available for DSL, I think it's important that the users know how to enable a joypad.
| Code Sample | | sudo insmod joydev |
That's all that must be done. Of course, I hear you ask: "But I gotta do it every time I boot. How can I make it an automatic thing?"
Shove it in an init script. I keep mine in /sbin/hotplug-knoppix (since it's a hotpluggable device, and all). just add:
| Code Sample | | insmod joydev |
to the end of /sbin/hotplug-knoppix and you'll have your joypads - USB or old-skool gamepad type - available even if you don't elect to enter X.
Oh, and to test if it's really working, try typing | Code Sample | | cat /dev/input/js0 |
if you see weird stuff scrolling on your screen whenever you move your pad, you're ready to game.
