{{DISPLAYTITLE:Main Page Old}}<languages /> {{Deprecated}} Welcome to the GIMX wiki!<br /> Feel free to create an account and contribute!<br /> Check [[Translate|this page]] for translation instructions. ==About GIMX== GIMX stands for Game Input MultipleXer or Game Input MatriX. The purpose of this free software is to control a video game console with a computer (e.g. a PC or a [http://www.raspberrypi.org/ Raspberry Pi]). It works with the PS3, the Xbox 360, the PS4 and the Xbox One.<br /> It operates: * over bluetooth: works with GNU/Linux (PS3, PS4) only. A compatible bluetooth dongle is required. A USB development board such as a Teensy 2.00 is required for pairing the bluetooth dongle with the PS4. * over usb: works with GNU/Linux and Windows (PS3, PS4, 360, XOne). A USB adapter is required. The application gets data from the peripherals (mice, keyboards and joysticks) and sends controls to the console over bluetooth or usb.<br /> Other controls such as gesture or voice are possible through the use of external software that emulate peripherals. GIMX features are further described on the [[Features|Features page]]. Compatibility issues are listed on the [[Compatibility|Compatibility page]]. The source code of GIMX is available under the [https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GPLv3] [https://gimx.fr/source here]. There's also a [https://blog.gimx.fr/ blog] with a few posts about the GIMX development, and a [https://forum.gimx.fr support forum]. To contribute to GIMX, see the [[Contribute|Contribute page]]. ==Hardware requirements== ===Computer=== <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> GIMX is designed to run on a computer running Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distributions or Windows (7 or later). '''This is a strong requirement'''.<br /> GIMX can run on smaller targets such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi Raspberry Pi] or Thin clients running a small Linux distro. '''About Ubuntu and Raspbian''':<br /> :The only supported versions are [http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ Ubuntu 16.04] and [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Raspbian Stretch], to use with [https://gimx.fr/downloads latest GIMX].<br /> :It's also possible to use Ubuntu derivates such as [http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php Linux Mint].<br /> :Running GIMX in a virtual machine (vmware, virtualbox...) '''is NOT OFFICIALY supported''' (no help will be given for that).<br /> :It's possible to run Ubuntu from a live usb disk (nothing is saved on the hard drive).<br /> :Feel free to install Ubuntu on your computer! If you have a Windows OS installed, you can [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot read this page] if you want to install Ubuntu on your hard drive without erasing the Windows OS.<br /> :Another way to use GIMX is to run it from a Ubuntu [http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ Live USB Persistent Flash Drive]. </div> ===Connector=== <div class="mw-collapsible"> ====Bluetooth dongle==== <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> :OS compatibility: Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distributions only (there is no appropriate access to the bluetooth stack on Windows).<br /> :Using a bluetooth dongle or an internal bluetooth module, GIMX can emulate the following controllers: :*Dualshock 3, for PS3 :*Dualshock 4, for PS4 :While all bluetooth dongles/modules can't work with GIMX, working dongles are quite common. Check the [[Bluetooth_dongle|compatibility list]]. :For PS4 only: :*A genuine Dualshock 4 controller is required because GIMX has to authenticate to the PS4. :*An AVR USB board such as the Teensy 2.0 is also required for the bluetooth pairing procedure. </div> ====USB adapter==== <div class="mw-collapsible"> :OS compatibility: Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux distributions and Windows (7 or later).<br /> =====GIMX adapter===== :This is an adapter that you can either build yourself or buy from the GIMX shop: :* [[DIY_USB_adapter|Build yourself a GIMX adapter]] :* '''[https://blog.gimx.fr/product/gimx-adapter/ Buy a ready to use GIMX adapter from the official GIMX shop.]''' <!-- Matlo 2017-03-30: Links to third party adapters won't be allowed from now. Third party adapters add workload, especially more questions on the forum, which tends to slow down the GIMX development. The official GIMX shop generates some revenue to the GIMX creator and helps keeping up the GIMX development. --> :With a GIMX adapter, the following emulations are available: :{{Firmwares/en}} :All Logitech wheel emulations have [[Force_Feedback|force feedback support]]. :{{Third_party_adapters}} :Notes: ::Forget about using any other USB to USB cable (like file transfer cables, or direct cables), they are not suited to this use.<br /> ::For 360: a genuine wired 360 controller is required because the USB adapter has to authenticate to the console. A wireless 360 controller with a play and charge kit will NOT work. ::For PS4: a genuine Dualshock 4 controller is required because GIMX has to authenticate to the console. ::For Xbox One: a genuine Xbox One controller is required because GIMX has to authenticate to the console. Controllers with the 3.5mm jack are not supported yet. =====Titan One===== :GIMX can also emulate a '''gamepad''' (not a wheel) using a [http://www.consoletuner.com/ Titan One] (formerly known as GamepadProxy/Cronus/CronusMax). The Titan One can work with the PS3, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and the PS4.<br /> </div> </div> ===Gaming mouse=== <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> If you want to play console FPS games with a mouse, forget about using a mouse with anything less than 2000DPI and 250Hz.<br /> A gaming mouse with 5000+ DPI and running at 500Hz is highly recommended.<br /> Whereas a gaming mouse with more than 1600 DPI doesn't really make a difference on a computer, it's not the case with GIMX.<br /> GIMX can decelerate mouse movements so as to counteract the in-game acceleration.<br /> A high DPI mouse gives a better linearity (i.e. smoother movements) in this specific case. '''''Tip''''': ''Some mouse may introduce interpolation on higher DPI settings. This is due to the mouse sensor not supporting higher DPI and mouse software have to emulate it. Try to avoid interpolation by setting your DPI to the highest supported by mouse hardware value.'' </div> ==Tutorials== '''[[Installation|Software installation]]''' '''[[Quick_Start|Quick start]]''' '''[[Config_Index|Config index]]''' '''[[Config_Editors|Config editors]]''' '''[[Axis_translation_parameters|Axis translation parameters]]''' '''[[Mouse_Calibration|Mouse calibration]]''' '''[[Mouse_tweaks|Mouse tweaks]]''' '''[[Macros|Macros]]''' '''[[DIY_USB_adapter|DIY USB adapter]]''' '''[[DIY_USB_adapter_for_dummies|DIY USB adapter for dummies]]''' '''[[Logitech_Wheels|Logitech force feedback wheels]]''' '''[[RPi|Raspberry Pi setup hints]]''' '''[[CHIP|C.H.I.P. Quick setup guide]]''' ==Troubleshooting== First make sure you have the latest GIMX version.<br /> Then look at the [[FAQ]] and the [https://gimx.fr/buglist bug list], see if your problem is already known, and if it's not, [https://gimx.fr/newissue report it].<br /> If you think you may have misconfigured something, ask for help on the [https://gimx.fr/forum/viewforum.php?f=5 forum]. ==Old tutorials== <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> '''Translations''' The GIMX version in these tutorials is 0.24: they are outdated. * [http://forum.gimx.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13 German (outdated)] * [http://forum.gimx.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=173 Spanish (outdated)] * [http://forum.gimx.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=34 Russian (outdated)] '''Configuration & Calibration''' This tutorial gives more details about how to adjust your configuration with gimx-config. * [http://forum.gimx.fr/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39 English] </div> ==GIMX "the hard way"== '''Running GIMX from the command line''' * [[Command_line|Command line]] '''Development''' <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"> * [[Development_on_Linux|Linux]] * [[Development_on_Windows|Windows]] * [[GUI_translation|GUI translation]] * [[GE|The GIMX Event library]] * [[gasync|The gasync library (evolution of the GE library)]] * [[Network_API|Network API]] * [https://github.com/matlo/serialusb Use the DIY USB adapter as a cheap USB proxy (~$5)] * [[Bbb_sniffer|Use a BeagleBone Black as cheap a USB proxy (~$50)]] * Controller protocols: ** [http://eleccelerator.com/wiki/index.php?title=DualShock_3 Dualshock 3] ** [http://eleccelerator.com/wiki/index.php?title=DualShock_4 Dualshock 4] ** [[T300RS_PS4|T300RS PS4]] ** [[G27_PS3|G27 PS3]] </div>
