Cos'è GIMX

Gimx sta per Game Input MultipleXer o Game Input MatriX. L'obbiettivo di questo software è di controllare un video game di una console con un Computer (esempio un PC o un Raspberry Pi). Funziona con PS3, Xbox360 e PS4.

Può funzionare:

• Tramite Bluetooth: solo con Linux (PS3, PS4). E'richiesta una chiavetta Bluetooth compatibile. Una scheda di programmazione USB come la Teensy 2.00 è richiesta per collegare la chiavetta Bluetooth con la PS4.
• Tramite USB: utilizzabile con Linux e Windows (PS3, PS4, 360). E' richiesto un adattatore USB.

Questa applicazione prende i dati che arrivano dalle periferiche (mouse, tastiere e joysticks) e li manda alla console tramite bluetooth o USB.
L'uso di controlli come i gesti o la voce sono possibili mediante l'uso di programmi esterni che emulano queste periferiche.

Ulteriori caratteristiche di GIMX sono disponibili qui.

I problemi di compatibilità sono elencati qui.

Il codice sorgente di GIMX è disponibile sotto GPLv3 there.

é presente anche un blog con molti post riguardanti la realizzazione di GIMX, e un support forum.

Hardware requirements

PC
GIMX is designed to run on a PC with Ubuntu or Windows. This is a strong requirement.
GIMX can run on smaller targets such as the Raspberry Pi or Thin clients running a small Linux distro.

About Ubuntu:

The only supported version is Ubuntu 14.04, to use with latest GIMX.

It's also possible to use Ubuntu derivates such as Linux Mint.

Running GIMX in a virtual machine (vmware, virtualbox...) is NOT OFFICIALY supported (no help will be given for that).

It's possible to run Ubuntu from a live usb disk (nothing is saved on the hard drive).

Feel free to install Ubuntu on your PC! If you have a Windows OS installed, you can read this page if you want to install Ubuntu on your hard drive without erasing the Windows OS.

Another way to use GIMX is to run it from a Ubuntu Live USB Persistent Flash Drive.

Bluetooth dongle or USB adapter
Bluetooth dongle:

GIMX can emulate a sixaxis/dualshock 3 or a dualshock 4 using a bluetooth dongle or an internal bluetooth module.

This obviously only works with the PS3 and the PS4.

This doesn't work with Windows because there is no appropriate access to the bluetooth stack.

While all bluetooth dongles/modules can't work with GIMX, working dongles are quite common.

Check the compatibility list.

For PS4 only: a genuine DS4 controller is required because GIMX has to authenticate to the PS4.

USB adapter:

GIMX can also emulate:

• a joystick - for PS3, works in Ubuntu/Linux and Windows
• a wired sixaxis - works in Ubuntu/Linux and Windows
• a wired 360 pad - works in Ubuntu/Linux and Windows

This is done using a specific Do-It-Yourself USB adapter.

It also can work with a Titan One (formerly known as GamepadProxy/Cronus/CronusMax), which can work with the PS3, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and the PS4 (with no touchpad support).

Forget about using any other USB to USB cable (like file transfer cables, or direct cables), they are not suited to this use.

For 360 only: a genuine wired 360 controller is required because the USB adapter has to authenticate to the 360. A wireless 360 controller with a play and charge kit will NOT work.

Gaming mouse
If you want to play console FPS games with a mouse, forget about using a mouse with anything less than 2000DPI and 250Hz.
A gaming mouse with 5000+ DPI and running at 500Hz is highly recommended.
Whereas a gaming mouse with more than 1600 DPI doesn't really make a difference on a PC, it's not the case with GIMX.
GIMX can decelerate mouse movements so as to counteract the in-game acceleration.
A high DPI mouse gives a better linearity (i.e. smoother movements) in this specific case.

Troubleshooting

First make sure you have the latest GIMX version.
Then look at the FAQ and the bug list, see if your problem is already known, and if it's not, report it.
If you think you may have misconfigured something, ask for help on the forum.
