Game Input MultipleXer v1.00 - Control your console via a PC - PSX ...

Published on 03-01-2013 06:23 PM

A developer by the name of Matlo, has been developing a piece of software that will control a video game console with the use of a PC. The application has matured to version v1.00, it supports the PS3 and experimental support for the XBOX360. How does this work? The application gets data from PC peripherals such as mice keyboard or joysticks and sends the controls to the PS3 over Bluetooth (Bluetooth dongle required) or USB (USB adapter Required) connections, which then translates the actions from the peripherals to the console. For all the details of this very interesting project checkout the official details below.


GIMX stands for Game Input MultipleXer or Game Input MatriX. The purpose of this software is to control a video game console with a PC. It works with the PS3 and there is experimental support for the Xbox 360.
It operates:

• over bluetooth: works with Linux (PS3) only. A compatible bluetooth dongle is required.
• over usb: works with Linux (PS3, 360) and Windows (PS3). A DIY USB adapter is required.

The application gets data from the PC peripherals (mice, keyboards and joysticks) and sends controls to the PS3 over bluetooth or usb. Other controls such as gesture or voice are possible through the use of external software that emulate PC peripherals. GIMX 1.00

GIMX was deeply modified for this release. Expect a few bugs!

• Save your configs before upgrading to this version.
• In case of critical issues, just downgrade to version 0.51.
• Please report issues through the googlecode page: link.

Note for Raspbian users: my Raspberry Pi is broken... so there sadly is no package yet

Windows users have to move the config directory to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\emuclient\conf ig.
Linux users have to move the ~/.sixemugui-serial to ~/.gimx-serial.

Enhancements

• issue 192: Macro activation
• This allows to specify which macro file should be read for each config file.
• It also gives the possibility to change the macros without restarting emuclient.
• issue 197: [Linux] Get input events directly from evdev
• More about this in this blog post.
• issue 199: Mouse driving mode
• This allows to precisely control a stick with a mouse, which is very useful for driving vehicles.
• issue 205: [Linux] Sort the config files alphabetically in gimx-serial and gimx-bluetooth
• issue 206: [gimx-serial] Do not display serial ports not supporting raw transmission and 500kb/s
• This will hide RS232 serial ports in windows. This kind of serial port is not compatible with GIMX.

Bug fix

• issue 98: [Windows] Some mouse buttons are not working
• This adds support for the horizontal wheel buttons. It may work or not work depending on the mouse.
• If it doesn't work for your mouse, you should try to assign a keyboard button using the manufacturer's software.
• issue 194: Wrong device id for events generated by macros
• issue 198: [gimx-fpsconfig] Bindings not correctly updated
• issue 201: Wrong default parameters for joystick axes
• issue 202: [Windows] Empty device name with "multiple mice and keyboards" enabled
• issue 207: [Linux] Use xdg-open instead of gnome-open
• issue 208: [Windows] Config files should not be stored in C:\Program Files
• Config files are now stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming. This is more compliant with Windows programming rules.
• issue 209: Wrong button states with controller type joystick or 360Pad
