Wingman64 input plugin for mupen64
I didn't have much luck getting Blight's SDL based plugin for to work with my Logitec Rumblepad under linux. All the buttons worked fine, but I could do nothing with the axis. According to google, the plugin is working for some people with rumblepads, but not for others.
Fortunately I had a sunday spare, so I knocked together a new plugin.
Wingman64
The wingman64 plugin is based on libjsw, and despite the name, should therefore work with most joysticks. If blights plugin isn't working for you it's probably worth giving a try. It isn't as pretty, but at least you'll be able to shoot things with it.
In order to compile wingman64 you'll need to have libjsw installed (obviously) and also gtk. To install the plugin, download and unpack the source and follow the instructions in the README file
Important
Before you use the plugin run jscalibrator and save the calibration file somewhere easy to find. When you first run the plugin use the "jsw config file" button to select this file. If you don't do this it isn't going to work.
Configuration
The plugin now has a pretty basic GUI. It fairly obvious how it works, click on a button then click the button on the joypad that you want to use.
When you first load up mupen you must select a configuration file. Once a file is loaded those settings will remain active until mupen is shut down. A different configuration can be loaded at any time.
That's it.
Happy gaming.

Known issues
- Only works with 1 device. (I've only got 1, so I have little incentive to make it work with more.)
- GUI is a bit naff.
- Code would make me weep if someone else had written it and I was reviewing.
