Detects connected xinput devices and can automatically update emulators, games and other apps settings based on them. When controllers are different from eachother (a guitar and a drum controller, for example), this becomes useful.
If you play a game that uses a different type of controller in an emulator (like rock band), you would:
- have to update the input settings every time you want to play a game that uses a regular controller (unless you want to play Heavy Rain with a guitar)
Or when you play the same game with a variable number of players or wants to switch controller types:
- Player 1 is a Guitar Controller, Player 2 is Drums. Next time you play, you want to play Drums but Player 1 is set as a Guitar. You'd have to reassign controllers in the settings or keep both instruments turned on even when you're playing alone.
Currently only supports Windows.
- In xinput mode, detects Guitars, any regular Xbox controllers and Drum Kits.
- In SDL mode, detects all of the above + DualSense controllers.
Automatically assigns the right player to the right settings based on the connected controllers in the right order.
Settings were tested with Guitar Hero Guitars and Rock Band Pro Drums, in Rock Band Games (rpcs3 docs state that tilt in GH guitars will not work on RB games but the config provided in this repository actually has tilt working on Rock Band. the hacky mapping results in Guitar Hero games not working that well. you can remap the settings from config-templates/rpcs3 to what's indicated here if you want to play Guitar Hero)
Right now there is no executable to run or to initialize with the system. this is coming later.
create a user/paths.json file following the template.
create a user/settings.json file following the template.
what input API to use. possible values are xinput and sdl.
run npm install and node index.mjs. Now the app will take care of everything for you.
