Bug 631078 – games-util/gimx - Control a video game console with a mouse, keyboard, or joystick

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description BT 2017-09-15 14:22:45 UTC]

Game Input MultipleXer allows the control of a video game console with a mouse, keyboard, or joystick, by emulating a game controller.

I'm currently using GIMX to allow the use of a Logitech Driving Force GT racing wheel with a PS4. The Driving Force GT is only supported on the PS2/3 and PC, but GIMX allows it to work with the PS4 by emulating a Logitech G29 racing wheel.

USB input devices such as racing wheels require a USB adapter to load the firmware of the emulated device. The adapter can be purchased from the GIMX website, or one can be easily built. GIMX can also work with Bluetooth input devices.
