Tired of not being able to use your wiimote on Linux games out of the box? This driver update provides a Wiimote based gamepad directly usable as a standard game controller. It does so by combining Wiimote's buttons, accelerometer, and Nunchuk into a single input device.
Use "gamepad=1" parameter to gather Wiimote and Nunchuk into a single device to be used as a gamepad per Linux Gamepad Specification
Otherwise with "gamepad=0" the old driver behaviour applies, with separate devices per function etc.
Install with "sudo dkms install ." from the folder with dkms.conf Otherwise, run "make" inside the src folder and load module manually before connecting by bluetooth:
$ sudo modprobe -v ff-memless
$ sudo rmmod hid-wiimote; sudo insmod hid-wiimote.ko gamepad=1
Don't forget to set param "gamepad=1" to take advantage of the new features in this driver!
[DONE] Linux layout [...] "horizontal" layout ((no Nunchuk) [...] PSX layout [...] Steam layout [...] MotionPlus support [...] Rumble [...] Differential accelerometer Nunchuk-Wiimote

Minimal Mapping / single handed:
Wiimote D-Pad ~ BTN_DPAD_*
Wiimote A ~ BTN_A (enables gamepad detection)
Wiimote B ~ BTN_TR (main trigger)
Wiimote 1 ~ BTN_1 (Not too useful in vertical posture)
Wiimote 2 ~ BTN_2
Wiimote Home ~ BTN_HOME (1-button menu pad)
Wiimote - ~ BTN_WEST (more useful than select/start?)
Wiimote + ~ BTN_EAST
Accelerometer ~ ABS_RXZ
Nunchuk stick ~ ABS_XY
Nunchuk Accel ~ ABS_HAT1X~Y, ABS_Z
Nunchuk C ~ BTN_TL
Nunchuk Z ~ BTN_ZL
Horizontal Gamepad Mapping / two-handed:
Wiimote D-Pad ~ BTN_DPAD_* (right is up) Wiimote A ~ BTN_WEST (W) Wiimote B ~ BTN_TL Wiimote 1 ~ BTN_SOUTH enables gamepad detection Wiimote 2 ~ BTN_EAST Wiimote Home ~ BTN_HOME (1-button menu pad) Wiimote - ~ BTN_BACK (more useful than select/start?) Wiimote + ~ BTN_FORWARD Accelerometer ~ ABS_RX~Z Rumble ~ FF_RUMBLE
Note: Accel-X is -20% (~ -100) when Wiimote is horizontal with the D-pad to the left side, +20% (~=+100) when the D-pad is on the right side, centered ~ 0 when vertical

Accel-Z detects up-down movement of the frontside, up being negative. It is Zero when vertical, +20% when wiimote sits on a table facing up, -20% facing down
