Open Source Game Controller Software

antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. It's useful for using a gamepad on PC games that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. This program can also be used to control any desktop application with a gamepad. On Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program. This program currently works with various Linux distributions, Windows (Vista and later), and FreeBSD, but with limited support for FreeBSD and Windows XP.

SDLJoytest is a program which will allow you to select from all joysticks found on the system (by SDL), and then test that selected joystick or other game controller. SDLJoytest requires X, SDL, libGL & libGLU and, of course, a joystick to test.

This application provides an easy to understand graphical interface for calibrating (and testing) analog gamecontrollers for Linux.
