<languages /> ==<span id="4"></span>Is GIMX able to ...?== See the [[Features|Features page]]. ==<span id="6"></span>Installation fails, some library dependencies are not satisfiable, what can I do? (Linux)== Make sure your Ubuntu or Raspbian version is supported ([[Main_Page#PC|check the requirements]]).<br /> Make sure you added 'universe' to the repositories.<br /> Make sure you have an internet connection when you install the package.<br /> Make sure Ubuntu / Raspbian is up-to-date (for Ubuntu or Raspbian, run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal). ==<span id="3"></span>I get an error message when I click "Set Dongle Address", what can I do? (Linux+bluetooth)== Some bt dongles are not compatible. [[Bluetooth_dongle|Try another one]]. ==<span id="13"></span>I get connection errors, what can I do? (Linux+bluetooth)== Make sure the sixaxis was already paired with your PS3 (the sixaxis should be able to turn on the ps3 remotely).<br /> Make sure the sixaxis is not a fake one: [http://code.google.com/p/diyps3controller/issues/detail?id=74#c18 link]. <br /> Make sure to turn your sixaxis off before starting emu: unplug the usb cable, and if it does not turn off by itself, press the PS3 button until it turns off. <br /> If it still doesn't work, [[Bluetooth_dongle|try another dongle]]. ==<span id="12"></span><span id="16"></span>I'm having lag issues and/or movement glitches, what can I do? I want best performances, what should I check?== If you are using a TV, make sure to enable the gaming mode (not all the TVs have such a mode, read the user manual).<br /> If you have lag even with a genuine sixaxis/dualshock 3, the lag is probably not due to GIMX.<br /> Increase your mouse frequency as explained there: [http://forum.gimx.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28 link].<br /> Make sure your mouse frequency is '''between 250Hz and 500Hz, and at least twice the GIMX update frequency'''.<br /> Make sure your mouse can track '''at least 2000 DPI''', and make sure your mouse is running at the highest DPI setting.<br /> Don't use the calibration GUI or the terminal output while playing.<br /> Close any other application (Firefox...).<br /> Avoid usb extension cables and hubs. Some of them are weak and result in poor performances.<br /> Some bluetooth dongles are reported to generate lag issues. It is recommended to use a bluetooth dongle with a CSR Bluecore4-ROM chip. ==<span id="1"></span>I can't save my config file? I can't see the config file I saved?== Save your config files in the right directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\gimx\config or /home/<username>/.gimx/config (Linux).<br /> GIMX 1.12 and older: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\emuclient\config or /home/<username>/.emuclient/config (Linux).<br /> GIMX 0.51 and older: C:\Program Files\GIMX\config (Windows 32bits) or C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMX\config (Windows 64bits).<br /> In Linux, the folder named ".gimx" is hidden. Press ctrl+h to display hidden folders!<br /> Don't run anything as root user. ==<span id="17"></span>I can't edit my config file? Modifications are not saved?== File permissions are probably wrong.<br /> Start a terminal: Click on the Ubuntu Dash, type "terminal" in the search bar, and click on the terminal icon.<br /> Then type: ls -l ~/.gimx You'll see something like this: total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-02-24 15:27 config drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-02-24 15:27 macros In the above example, file ownership is wrong.<br /> To fix it, type: sudo chown -R owner:usergroup ~/.gimx Replace owner and usergroup with the appropriate values, which are usually your username for both.<br /> If you are not sure just type: ls -ld ~ You'll see something like this: drwxr-xr-x 94 username group 4096 2012-02-24 16:24 /home/username Do the same for the ~/.gimx-launcher directory. ==<span id="2"></span>I can't see the COM port in gimx-launcher? (windows+usb adapter)== Check the COM port in the device manager. <div class="image200px">[https://gimx.fr/img/screenshots/WinCP2102.gif https://gimx.fr/img/screenshots/WinCP2102.gif]</div> ==<span id="5"></span>Why can't we use a male to male usb cable?== A simple male to male cable is irrelevant due to the usb protocol. A PC is a usb host, it can't be a usb device. Usb to usb cables not designed to work with GIMX such as file transfer cables won't work. ==<span id="19"></span>Can we use a normal serial port? (usb adapter)== No. The serial port (RS232 port) that can be found on old PCs does not work at the right voltage levels. It works at -12V/+12V instead of 0V/+5V. ==<span id="18"></span>Why isn't there a bluetooth version for windows?== The windows bluetooth stack is weak. It does not provide the low-level access to bluetooth that is required to emulate a sixaxis. ==<span id="5b"></span>Why can't we use any bluetooth address?== A ps3 doesn't allow communications from an unknown bluetooth address, it only allows communications from bluetooth addresses of paired devices.<br /> Two bluetooth devices are paired means that each device knows the address of the other, and each device allows communications from the other device.<br /> Unpaired devices usually can't communicate. The bluetooth pairing is usually performed over bluetooth, but that's not the case for a sixaxis.<br /> The sixaxis pairing is performed over usb: plug the male to mini usb cable, and press the PS button. ==<span id="7"></span>Is it possible to use a virtual machine?== Yes and no. It's not officially supported and I don't give support for that. Running the software may work, but for compatibility and performance reasons, you should not use GIMX in a virtual machine. ==<span id="8"></span>Is there a mac os solution?== No, not yet. There probably will be a solution some day, but I have no idea about the date. ==<span id="9"></span>I'm having button glitches, what can I do?== This is a very common issue that you will run into if you miss there is a second config for aiming down the sight. You have to define the same button controls in both configs 1&2! ==<span id="10"></span>My mouse buttons are not working as expected? (windows)== Check nothing is misconfigured in the mouse configuration software (like the Setpoint application for Logitech mice). Try to close the mouse configuration software. ==<span id="11"></span>I feel getting some lag with the left and right mouse buttons, WTF? (Linux)== This is a known problem not related to the GIMX code. Ubuntu versions lower than or equal to 10.10 may give this issue. To know the work-around, read [http://blog.gimx.fr/?p=74 this blog post]. Ubuntu 11.04 should not give this issue anymore. ==<span id="14"></span>How can I set my old bdaddr back? (Linux+bluetooth)== Start a terminal: Click on the Ubuntu Dash, type "terminal" in the search bar, and click on the terminal icon.<br /> Then type: sudo bdaddr -i hciX YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY Replace X with the dongle index (0, 1, 2...), and YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY with the bdaddr to set. If you have multiple dongles and if you are not sure about the dongle index, type bdaddr -i hciX to see the current bdaddr of the dongle with index = X. ==<span id="15"></span>What mouse is recommended to use with GIMX?== The most important parameter is the mouse DPI.<br /> The higher the DPI, the better the precision. This is even more the case for a 1-1 translation.<br /> A 5700+ DPI mouse like the G500 is recommended.<br /> Using a mouse with lower than 2000 DPI will probably result in movement glitches. ==<span id="20"></span>Do I need to change the acceleration of the mouse?== There's no need to do that since GIMX gets raw events from the mouse. ==How can I test my serial adapter?== Only connect the rx pin to the tx pin.<br /> Download the [http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software Arduino IDE].<br /> Start the Arduino IDE (don't forget to extract the archive...).<br /> Select the right serial port in the "Tools>Serial Port" menu.<br /> Click on "Tools>Serial Monitor".<br /> Type something in the small text area at the top of the serial monitor, and click on the "Send" button.<br /> If your adapter works correctly, you should see what you typed appearing in the main text area.<br /> It is possible to test the serial adapter for different transmission speed (from 9600 to 115200 bauds).<br /> ==My DIY USB adapter isn't working. What can I do?== Test your serial adapter as explained above.<br /> Double check your wiring as explained here: [[DIY_USB_adapter#Wiring|link]].<br /> Check your USB cables, one might be bad. Only use shielded USB cable.<br /> Also check the cables between the USB to serial adapter (e.g. CP2102) and the AVR USB board (e.g. Teensy 2.0). Make sure there is no bad contact.
