Hello folks,
Have been testing out the controller support option "Game Controllers" within the rather stable versions of CO12 beta 1-4. I am glad to say that any troubles that people ran into with controller support for Wine games, is resolved with this update.
Within Retro City Rampage, the Xbox 360 controller works as if natively with the game. Once CO12 gets released, everything controller based should work sweetly. I've tested it on both Fedora 17 64bit and Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. :)
Cheers
Ben
