About GIMX
GIMX stands for Game Input MultipleXer or Game Input MatriX. The purpose of this software is to control a video game console with a PC. It works with the PS3 and there is experimental support for the Xbox 360.
It operates:
- over bluetooth: works with Linux (PS3) only. A compatible bluetooth dongle is required.
- over usb: works with Linux (PS3, 360) and Windows (PS3). A usb-usb adapter is required.
The application gets data from the PC peripherals (mice, keyboards and joysticks) and sends controls to the PS3 over bluetooth or usb. Other controls such as gesture or voice are possible through the emulation of PC peripherals.
The source code of GIMX is available under the GPLv3 there.
There's also a blog with a few posts about the GIMX development, and a support forum .
