To make dragonrise n64 and snes controllers work with my crouton xfce4/ubuntu chroot, I had to recompile the kernel with support for the hid_dr module. These are the steps to get the controllers working. Almost all steps are taken from the sources listed below. All commands are entered in the chroot's terminal, not the chronos shell.

sudo apt-get install git-core make kernel-package
cd ~
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/kernel -b chromeos-3.8
cd kernel
nano chromeos/config/base.config

type ctrl-w, type 'error_on_warning' and press enter to find the line you need to edit.

If anyone uses this - the php server process doesn't currently kill itself when you return to the chroot.

within the chroot:

sudo apt-get install php5

cd ~/
mkdir scripts
cd scripts

boot faster

...and hopefully prevent someone wiping my drive.

// Open the stream
$numbers = fopen(__DIR__ . '/numbers.txt', 'r');
// Wrap our parser in an infinite loop, so it won't stop until we say so
while (true) {
	// Read a line

	// The docs say it will return false when there arent any bytes left,
	// so we break out of our loop and let the sript die when that happens.

Currently the validator will not run validation rules for empty values:

$rules = ['age' => 'integer'];

$input = json_decode('{"age": null}', true);

Validator::make($input, $rules)->passes(); // true
