Commander Keen mit Gameport Adapter und GamePad auf dem Handy spielen

Mit dem Open Source Gameport-Adapter von @necroware kann man alte Gameport Joysticks und Gamepads nicht nur auf dem PC zu einem "zweiten Leben" verhelfen, sondern auch auf einem Handy oder Tablet damit spielen.

Trying to design my own #NES inspired #gamepad for the #MSX. Let's see how it turns out.

There were commercial models in this style (like the "joycards") back in the day, but today they are not common, specially in Brazil.

Despite being an excellent games platform, many of the joysticks and gamepads for the MSX suck. They are either too small, buttons too stiff, or (in the case of joysticks) unsuitable for genres like platformers.

Transformez votre vieille manette filaire en Bluetooth avec un ESP32

fed.brid.gy/r/https://korben.i

<p>Vous avez une vieille manette USB qui traîne dans un tiroir parce qu'elle est filaire ? Une de ces reliques naphtalinée de l'époque dans laquelle on se prenait encore les pieds quand le câbles trainait au milieu du salon...? Hé bien bonne nouvelle pour vous, et pour vos tiroirs qui vont enfin se vider un peu !</p>
<p>Avec une carte <strong>Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3</strong> (la star du projet), un peu de patience et une dizaine d'euros, vous pouvez transformer pas mal de manettes USB HID filaires en une version Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tout à fait fréquentable. Le projet s'appelle <strong>
<a href="https://github.com/skorokithakis/bluetooth-gamepad">bluetooth-gamepad</a>
</strong> et c'est signé Stavros Korokithakis (que je salue au passage).</p>

<p><em>Le projet bluetooth-gamepad sur GitHub (

)</em></p>
<p>Le XIAO ESP32S3 utilisé dans ce projet est un module tellement minuscule qu'on dirait un timbre-poste (ce qui est vraiment trop trop pratique pour le planquer n'importe où). Ce petit module magique fait office de pont USB Host vers Bluetooth.</p>
<p>En gros, vous branchez votre manette USB d'un côté via un adaptateur OTG, et de l'autre, votre smartphone, tablette ou PC la voit comme une manette sans fil standard.</p>

@ligthert well, it dod have appeal for a lot of #IndieDevelopers when #Microsoft dialed back on their #XNA program and it was quite consumer-friendly with their mandatory #free #demo.

  • Shurely in hindsight we'd all know that they should've scrapted their proprietary wireless controller and just shipped an #Xbox360 bootleg wired cibtroller or just wait a year till #Android got it's #Gamepad-#API standardized.

But it's not a #trainwreck like the #zeebo that only made sense on paper from an exec perspective, completely ignoring #piracy on existing platforms as competition!

🎮 Played through #Routine the last two evenings! 🌕 There were really some shockers in it! 😱 But just a few, and you can hide, outrun or avoid the "monsters". I like the #exploring stuff more and the puzzles are really nice, not "ubificated". (Aka: no yellow markers, no fast-travel... Hints and savegames are nicely integrated with "C.A.T." ⬅️ Check it out!) Also it worked out of the box with @lutris and #Wine even with my #Gamepad! #gaming #LinuxGaming #space #Moon #horror lunar-software.squarespace.com

I bought a cheapo game pad, FroggieX X-360, to play some racing game with my son (4.5 years old, and yes, I’m a bad parent 😈) today. He played it with his friends yesterday and liked it, so I wanted to try to play it with him.

This is the first pad I ever owned, so I cannot tell if it’s bad one or not, but it works on Linux with kernel version 6.18.2 and Flatpak’s Steam. To my surprise I needed to disable “Steam Input” for controller to work.

The game sucks, and it’s pay to win, so I’ll mercifully omit its title. But my son doesn’t care, and if dad and mum or his friends play it with him, he is totally over the moon. At this age it’s more important for him to somebody play with him than the game content.

cool hack: when you buy a magnetic pop socket it comes with this spare magnetic ring. i cut it in half and glued it to my controller. now when i remove my pop socket to mount my phone in that clamp, i can stick the pop socket here and it becomes a kickstand instead! also supports the weight of my phone!

Is there a button limit on gamepads in the modern day? i feel like there really shouldn't be, but I've been confused by my Retrobit Saturn Pro controller having C and Z be L1/R1 respectively when on anything other than a Saturn. When I asked around everyone's just like "yeah that's for modern compatibility" and I'm just wondering what's preventing those two buttons from being Button 14 and Button 15

I think we're seeing the final major iterations of #VirtualReality Controllers, and #VR #technology is about to hit that maturity point where there isn't much else to do beyond making what's there better.

Unless someone comes up with a groundbreaking new way to do input with them, #VRControllers will condense to buttons / sticks that you attach to your hands (either literally just half a #gamepad on a strap or harnesses for your fingers that push back) and cameras on the headset and in the room do #FingerTracking, #FullbodyTracking, and #FaceTracking. In other words, the designs where you actually hold controllers or attach extensive trackers to your body are kind of dead, aside from maybe #SlimeVR being marketed for a while longer as a way to improve that tracking and compensate for occlusion issues.

After that, attaching stuff to your body will be all about #haptic feedback, like a #HapticVest or a #gigglepuck.

The rest will be #software for #VRExperiences like #Resonite and #VRChat.

I have been quite enjoying #outerworlds2 😁 there are performance dips on game load but once it loads it seems to run smoothly using #ProtonGE #latest I had to force #gamepad #compatibility as the default #steam #config didn't work. But this works reasonably well using my #8bitdo #pro3 #linux #gaming #proton
