Two or more gamepads

[partyzone]

Hello everyone. I build GIMX adapter use - Arduino Leonardo and USB>TTL, load firmware and connect to my PS3. Gamepad works fine, but when i connect SECOND or more gamepad - GIMX send to PS3 only first controll, others cant see. But in config i can setup all buttons on all gamepads. How send to ps3 two or more gamepads?

Hi

Please add your log file.

Also if I understand correctly you want to be able to play with someone using the same computer, keep in mind that you need a DIY adapter for each player. You will also then instead of running the GUI use the command line for example

Code: Select all

gimx -c config.xml -p COMX -p COMY

Where you substitute X and Y to the COM port numbers for the adapters.

I dont create log file, sorry. But i understand, if I want use second gamepad - i must connect to PS3 SECOND GIMX adapter???
And then, if i WANT play with 8 gamepads - i must connect 8 USB to PC and 8 USB to ps3? But ps3 have only two USB ports, i can use HUB then or it have another way?
Second question - i push START button, can control PS3, but if i plug out my gamepad, after PLUG in - control dosnt work. I Must CLOSE terminal and press START again. Possible enable hot plug in settings, like recconnect without restart GIMX?

If you plug out the game pad emulation will stop there is no way around this.

Yes you will need a usb hub and a configuration file set up for the amount of controllers you want to use maximum is 7

What game are you trying to set it up for?

And cant make some batch file for restart or else?

Understand, use 8 usb hub then.

What game are you trying to set it up for?

Castle Crushers for example.

No it will have to be restarted, for what reason are you unplugging the gamepad ?

The maximum is 7

I hosting some games by Parsec (Gamimg Cloud) in Arcade mode. Guy enter to room and connect with virtual gamepad. After hour he leave and disconnect, then connect other guy, but i must then restart GIMX, because it lost gamepad. Its mean, i must controll everytime this process?

I order Arduino Leonardo more 3 pcs and usb ttl too. And usb hub too.

I am back. Today i got more three GIMX adapters. Connect to pc and flash firmware by PS3. Connect to console and start three times GIMX on different ports. I config 1 gamepad on Xinput 0, gamepad#2 on Xinput 2 &etc... But, after normally connected First pad, I start GIMX launcher second window and PS3 droped all gamepads, even first. How need setup second and else gamepads in config, if i have 4 GIMX adapters and 4 XINPUT gamepads??? Here logs from second gamepad.

The additional controllers are setup in your config as shown here https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Gi ... ontrollers

You only need to start one instance specifying the config file and then the different ports but this has to be from a COMMAND LINE as I showed in a previous reply.

Yes, i got it and setup correctly.

Then i start batch file, all works good. First player can control the system, BUT when second player press something - all controllers reset and second player got first player control. After first player press something - again drop and he got control. What happ??? Why two gamepads can control only one character and why system drop other control and allow only one gamepad? What i need to do? I want use four gamepads.
