Nunchuck issues with HomeBrew titles

Hello, I'm sure you can tell, but I'm new to the whole HomeBrew scene. I successfully installed the HBC, and bootmii was installed as boot2 I'm happy to say! I got the HBB and everything is fine, but when I go to play a title such as Doom or Quake, my nunchuck doesn't quite work right.

I have tested it on typical Wii applications (Zelda, Mario Galaxy, SSBB, etc...) and the nunchuck works fine for them, but any HomeBrew that requires a nunchuck I seem to only be able to go backwards or left via the control stick on the nunchuck. Pressing the stick either up or right results in the same thing as pressing it down. And it seems only on occasion that the left works properly. Does anyone on here have any suggestions, or even reasons for this to occur?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Yes, it's a known issue. Developers only need to compile with the latest libogc (from the svn) to fix the issue with their apps.

So there is nothing I can do console-side to fix this? I should've assumed that anyway, but thank you very much! Is there anything pc-side I can do to correct this mistake, or is the solution you gave the only one?

Oh, and thanks very much for the quick response!

Well, if the homebrew you want to play has the source available, you can download the source and devkitpro and the latest libogc and recompile them yourself. Although some wont compile using the latest libogc, and would need modified, and unless you're a programmer, you probably wont be able to do the modifications to the source without bothering someone who is, and they may not like that, but still some should compile which would fix the issues with some.

I couldn't call myself a full-fledged programmer, but I do have some knowledge and would be willing to tinker around with stuff and test it out... if I brick, I've got bootmii installed as boot2 and already backed up the NAND, so I should be good.

Also, I just went to a buddy's house, and booted Doom on his Wii (was trying to install HBC using the bannerbomb method, but I forgot my current boot.dol was for doom on the SD card... I know it shouldn't be at all, but it was, lol), and the nunchuck seemed to work alright. It was buggy... like a GGE909 PC Recoil Pad for PC if you've ever used one, but it did work. Still doesn't seem to work on mine, but I'll check if those programs are open source and screw around with'em if so, thanks for the suggestion :)

EDIT: He has system menu 4.1 actually, so I was surprised to see anything happen at all. Could this have anything to do with the nunchuck differences?

Quite frankly, compiling apps for linux gives me headaches. I have no idea how you would go about compiling apps for the wii.

If someone ever compiles a version of quake for wii or wii doom that works with these odd nun-chucks that don't calibrate correctly, could you please post it or let me know? My email is herecomethej@sbcglobal.net
Thank-you

You do know that all homebrew (except *barf* themes *orange barf*) works fine on 4.1, don't you?

No, it's most likely updated hardware.

Well, there would be little or no chance of you bricking by modifying Doom, it doesn't access NAND AFAIK (certainly dont see why it should), and therefore there shoudnt be a risk. But it'd simply be a case of updating some code to make it compile under the latest libogc.
