Sixaxis emulator on a Ubuntu Live USB Persistent Flash Drive

As explained in the tutorial there, the sixaxis emulator runs well with a Ubuntu Live CD. But the bad point of that method is that the installed packages & softwares are not persistent (everything runs from volatile memory, nothing is saved on disk).

I discovered it is really easy to setup a Ubuntu Live USB Persistent Flash Drive. This stuff makes the sixaxis emulator extremely transportable: just take your bluetooth dongle and your usb flash drive, plug them on any PC, boot from USB, and start the sixaxis emulator!

A quick & easy tutorial to setup a Ubuntu Live USB Persistent Flash Drive can be found there.

  3. Windows can't run Linux from the flash drive. You have to boot Linux (from the flash drive) instead of windows.
