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.
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
- The 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
- --curses
- curses terminal display.
- Mouse calibration is available through this interface.
- --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.
- Events that are not generated by macros are ignored.
- 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).
