46.218.205.226: /* Motivation */

==Motivation==

It's not for performance at this time, but a future release may be able to run entirely from a Linux terminal without having to run a windowing system. This would improve performances on all hardwares, especially on small ones like the raspberry pi or thin clients. 
And it's also useful for other stuff like automation.

==Linux + bluetooth==

In a terminal: 
emu ps3_mac_address bt_device_index sixaxis_index

* ps3_mac_address
this argument is mandatory
* bt_device_index
the bluetooth device index (ex : 0 for hci0, 1 for hci1, etc) 
this argument is optional, default device index is 0
* sixaxis_index
the sixaxis index (ex : 0 for sixaxis 1, 1 for sixaxis 2, etc) 
this argument is optional, default sixaxis index is 0

In another terminal: 
emuclient --config file_name

* file_name
the name of the config file, in the ~/.emuclient/config directory (ex : toto.xml) 
this argument is mandatory 
use backslashes to escape spaces

==Linux or Windows + DIY USB adapter or GPP==

In a terminal: 
emuclient --config file_name --serial --port /dev/ttyUSBX --joystick --precision 16 --refresh 4

emuclient options:
* file_name
the name of the config file, in the ~/.emuclient/config directory (ex : toto.xml) 
this argument is mandatory
* --serial --port /dev/ttyUSB0
serial port, ex /dev/ttyUSB0 in Linux, COM4 in windows 
only mandatory for the DIY USB adapter
* --joystick / --GPP / --360pad / --Sixaxis / --PS2pad
the type of USB adapter
* --precision 16
the axis precision (joystick: 16, other adapters: 8)
* --refresh 4
the refresh period, in ms 
recommended values: 
joystick/GPP/360pad/Sixaxis: 4 (250Hz) 
PS2pad: 16 (62.5Hz)

==General emuclient options==

* --status
display controls in the terminal
* --nograb
do not grab the mouse cursor
* --force-updates
send button+axis status even if there is no change (for compatibility with games like DNF)
* --subpos
improve stick precision (counteract rounding issues)
* --keygen key
generate a key press at emuclient startup 
the main use case for this is the automation of macro's execution 
all other events are ignored, except events generated by macros 
the only way to quit is to add KEYDOWN ESCAPE at the end of the macro, or use --nograb and press ctrl+c into the terminal
another use case is the sending of a single command (it requires to use a macro as no key up event is generated).
