Pacman for Console on Wii-Linux

Wii-Linux on Wiibrew.org

First PoC console game with wiimote support on Wii-Linux

Video Link

The Pacman for Console game was created by Dr. Mike in 2006.
I simply spend some time adding wiimote support for the game.
Pacman for Console with no wiimote support can be downloaded Here.

To make it work on Wii-Linux

I only added wiimote support for Pacman for Console game. 
I first installed ncurses, bluetooth, gcc, and make. Of course, 
also their dependencies as well. 

binutils_2.17-3_powerpc.deb 
cpp_4.1.1-15_powerpc.deb 
cpp-4.1_4.1.1-21_powerpc.deb 
gcc_4.1.1-15_powerpc.deb 
gcc-4.1_4.1.1-21_powerpc.deb 
gcc-4.1-base_4.1.1-21_powerpc.deb 
libbluetooth2_3.7-1_powerpc.deb 
libbluetooth2-dev_3.7-1_powerpc.deb 
libc6_2.3.6.ds1-13etch5_powerpc.deb 
libc6-dev_2.3.6.ds1-13etch5_powerpc.deb 
libgcc1_4.1.1-21_powerpc.deb 
libncurses5_5.5-5_powerpc.deb 
libncurses5-dev_5.5-5_powerpc.deb 
libssp0_4.1.1-21_powerpc.deb 
linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7_powerpc.deb 
make_3.81-2_powerpc.deb 

(Note: I might have installed apps that aren't needed. 
I installed them manually. No network adapter.) 

I got the latest wiiuse and only compiled/installed wiiuse 
and not the examples. I modified the Makefile file. 
I then added wiimote support to the pacman game, compiled/installed. 

I wanted to show the first console game using the Wiimote on Wii-Linux. :D 

Nintendo Wii - Homebrew

A dirty way to get started

Instructions are for Linux only

• Create an empty folder called devkitPro
• Download the lastest DevkitPPC here
• Unpack DevkitPPC (make sure it is in its own folder called devkitPPC)
• Dowload the lastest Libogc here
• Unpack Libogc (make sure it is in its own folder called libogc)
• Move folders devkitPPC and libogc into devkitPro

Structure should look like below

devkitPro 
|-- devkitPPC 
| |-- base_rules 
| |-- bin 
| |-- gamecube_rules 
| |-- include 
| |-- info 
| |-- lib 
| |-- libexec 
| |-- man 
| |-- mn10200 
| |-- powerpc-gekko 
| |-- share 
| `-- wii_rules 
`-- libogc 
|-- include 
|-- lib 
`-- libogc_license.txt 

You have just finished creating the Nintendo Wii Homebrew Devkit

Use the following example to export the devkit to your environment

skibur@blue:~/Desktop$ export DEVKITPRO=/home/skibur/Desktop/devkitPro 
skibur@blue:~/Desktop$ export DEVKITPPC=/$DEVKITPRO/devkitPPC 

Notice that my devkit is in Desktop folder

***NOTE***

When you restart your computer, you must re-export your devkitPro

If you want it to export on boot, just add the commands on /home/user/.bashrc

If done correctly, you should be able to compile the wii examples from here using the make command in your terminal.

Enjoy
