[Workaround] GIMX on PS5 games.

Post by Cybereu »

So far the team is working to make the GIMX adapter work on PS5, while it is not possible there is an (ugly) way to use it and it is through Remote Play.
I use Linux which is my daily operating system but it should work on Windows.
I didn't test with steering wheels, with mouse/keyboard/joystick is working good with no notable delay running on WiFi 5ghz but may be better with Playstation and PC on ethernet.

Steps:
1) Update firmware to EMUJOYSTICK.hex
2) Start GIMX adapter with both ends plugged to PC. (Alt_Left + Alt_Right to ungrab mouse)
3) Start streaming with Chiaki (open-source remote play)
https://git.sr.ht/~thestr4ng3r/chiaki

The touchpad doesn´t work, a workaround is to assign a key to the touchpad in Chiaki, then when needed it, press Alt Gr + Alt-left to release the keyboard and mouse and press the chosen key, and Alt Gr + Alt-left to grab the mouse again.

Don't play via streaming you will notice a large delay, the streaming is used only to input gamepad.

Easy get PSN ID.

Edit 28/02/22
The easy way is to use an Android app to remote play, there's Chiaki, PS remote play and PSPAD apps.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... l=en&gl=US (Does not stream, only for remote gamepad)

hi there, just a few questions about this workaround. im using a g25 wheel with the ps4 and gimx adapter working perfectly. just got a ps5 and i saw this workaround.
following your steps, i did
1) moved the gimx adapter from ps4 to ps5
2) started gimx, click on start. (i have the ps4 controller connected to the pc, and ps5 controller connected to the ps5)
3) remotely working via chiaki.
4) trying to map a button using chiaki (from the wheel), but doesnt work.

i can tell it worked instead of via chiaki. i think i messed up the workaround method somewhere.
on your last step, which im assuming is also my last step, how do i properly map the controller? maybe im missing something/ i am using windows. i also have steam if anything.

I don´t know if it could work with steering wheels but you didn´t follow the steps correctly, maybe I wasn't clear enough, both USBs from GIMX should be on PC, nothing will connect directly on PS5.
You should test first if G29 works via Remote Play or Chiaki first and then try this workaround.

thank you. i just tried chiaki with the method. plugged in both ends of the gimx into the pc, started the app, it emulated the g29, but sadly didnt work out. no worries
