Download Sixaxis Emulator 0.23

Le développeur malto vient de sortir une mise à jour de son logiciel nommé Sixaxis Emulator qui permet d'émuler votre manette Sixasis sur votre ordinateur sous Linux et maintenant sous Windows. Cela vous permet d'utiliser un clavier et une souris ou encore votre joystick (manette Xbox, Wii controller, etc) pour jouer à vos jeux PS3. Malto nous propose aussi trois vidéos, la première est un tutoriel, la seconde un extrait de COD : Black Ops avec clavier et souris.

Fonctions actuelles :

- up to 7 controllers - requires 1 bt dongle or 1 usb converter for each controller

- up to 8 configurations per controller

- on-the-fly configuration switch with switch back mode

- supported devices: mice, keyboards, joysticks (gamepads, wheels, ...)

- multiple joysticks

- multiple mice

- multiple keyboards

- configuration GUI with automatic event & device detection

- button-to-button, axis-to-axis, button-to-axis, and axis-to-button mappings

- circular or rectangular dead zone shapes

- graphical display of the controller state

- mouse calibration mode

- keyboard macros

Performances : 

- 100 updates/s (bt controller, real sixaxis report rate)

- up to 250 updates/s (usb controller, custom report rate)

- measured MAX latency between event reception and emission: bt controller = lower than 12ms (proof)

- measured AVERAGE latency between event reception and emission: bt controller = about 6ms (proof)

Fonctions à venir :

- cross-platform support (usb controller only)

Problèmes connus :

- [linux] the sixstatus gui generates movement glitches (work-around: use 100Hz or lower for the calibration)

- [windows] the COM port is not detected (work-around: check the proper COM port in the device manager)

- [usb] the controller state is wrong (work around: unplug/replug the teensy board)

- [usb] game compatibility: there are some compatibility issues with games like GT5 and Fallout: New Vegas. These games seem to have compatibility issues with gamepads other than the sixaxis/dualshock 3 controllers. Considering game compatibility, it seems the best solution is to emulate a true wired sixaxis/dualshock 3 controller. My first releases won't do that, and I will work on that later.

- [usb] buttons can't work as pressure-sensitive buttons: it's useless to configure them in the "Axis" tab of Sixemuconf

- [windows] extra mouse buttons are not working

Changelog :

- Version pour Windows (connexion par USB uniquement) 

- Outil "set dongle address" de sixemugui est fixé 

- Outil "replace mouse dpi" de sixemuconf est fixé 

- Problèmes 80, 87, 95 et 12 corrigés
