The goal of this wiki is to document GIMX.
The current documentation is on the official GIMX forum, and it will slowly moved on this wiki.
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.
