ps4 gimx progress?

[euryalis]

Hi, its my first time to post

I downloaded GIMX sources by replacing 'master' by 'dev'.
The installation seemed work, but i realized that the 'GIMXbluetooth' and 'GIMXserial' file is missing.
Also, I thought that you use '/home/user/.emuclient/config.xml' as a xml file.
But it shows like this.

Code: Select all

euryalis@v-VirtualBox:~$ gimx -t DS4 -c config.xml -h 0 -b B0:05:94:6D:BB:62
option -t with value `DS4'
option -c with value `config.xml'
option -h with value `0'
option -b with value `B0:05:94:6D:BB:62'
using default refresh period: 10.00ms
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/euryalis/.gimx/config/config.xml"
could not parse file /home/euryalis/.gimx/config/config.xml: No such file or directory
read_file failed
read_config_file failed

Do I need to make a new folder '/home/user/.gimx/config/'?

sorry for my poor English.
I will appreciate your help with this situation.

I will try and help.

1. You will find the Serial and Bluetooth GIMX files in your home directory under GIMX directory. They are called gimx-serial and gimx-bluetooth. They are not very important for this PS4 version as you will use gimx-config & gimx-fpsconfig to create and edit your XML file.

2. You don't need to create any folder and with your suggestion you will only create a hidden gimx folder so don't do the above requested link. If you use command line and you are already in your GIMX directory you just cd /.emuclient/ and you will be in the directory where all the confit files are located. If you use the file explorer go to GIMX from home and when inside GIMX you press ctrl+h to show hidden files and you will see the folder and just double click on it to open. 3rd way to get to this folder is open your gimx-config and under the file menu you will see an option that says open config folder.

To explain the XML file. It's the config file that has to be in a certain format for gimx to understand. I suggest you take the example file Matlo built called PS4_KillZoneShadowFall.xml and make a copy of that in your .emuclient folder. Then rename it to say euryalis.xml. Then you open gimx-config and click file open and select your XML file. You can then assign new buttons and setup some axis and sensitivities but I recommend using that and familiarize urself with how it works. The way you then call your config is like this

euryalis@v-VirtualBox:~$ gimx -t DS4 -c euryalis.xml -h 0 -b B0:05:94:6D:BB:62

When you are ready to tweak follow the guides on the wiki and forum for calibration.

Hi,

Gimx-bluetooth and gimx-serial are replaced by gimx-launcher.
This new tool is not ready yet, but you can use it to download a configuration.
You can read steps 2 & 3 of the "Quick start" wiki page.

Hi, thanks for the help

With the advice, I was able to solve the problems.
But I got another problem here
I tried to activate GIMX but the connection fails.
Here's the terminal log.

Code: Select all

euryalis@euryalis-VirtualBox:~$ sudo service bluetooth stop
bluetooth stop/waiting 
euryalis@euryalis-VirtualBox:~$ sudo hciconfig hci<0> up pscan
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `0'
euryalis@euryalis-VirtualBox:~$ gimx -t DS4 -c LINUX_ds4_usb.xml -h 0 -b B0:05:94:6D:BB:62
option -t with value `DS4'
option -c with value `LINUX_ds4_usb.xml'
option -h with value `0'
option -b with value `B0:05:94:6D:BB:62'
using default refresh period: 10.00ms
connection failed: Connection refused

connection failed: Connection refused

I saw a reply talking about this error and it says to use this command.

Code: Select all

euryalis@euryalis-VirtualBox:~$ ds4tool -m 00:00:00:00:00:00
euryalis@euryalis-VirtualBox:~$ 

But nothing happens. Do you know anything about it?

[Matlo]

The pairing probably failed at some point. You have to run the gimx-ps4-helper script again.

Does anyone have delay issue with gimx 2.05? I used command-line verison of gimx on ununtu 13.10 without problem. A couple days ago i decided to update gimx and linux. I installed Linux mint 17 and gimx 2.05. It's not delaying inputs all the time but it happens randomly in a long period of playtime. When it starts to delay, i just stop generating inputs and wait until feels like normal. If it does not stop delaying than i restart gimx to solve it. (my BT chip is CSR8510)

And i want to ask that does internet lag can cause inputs to drop or delay? (mostly i use gimx for online fps on PS4)

As always, thank you Matlo.

[Matlo]

Does it happen after some inactivity or does it happen anytime?

[can]

It happens anytime. Inactivity is not case for me. Because when i start to play, i don't give a break. BTW i'm using 64bit version of Linux Mint.

[Matlo]

This may be due to a transient system load. Open the process monitor while playing and check the system load when the issue happens.

[can]

OK. I will check that and report back tomorrow.

Edit : Still investigating. Cpu usage seems normal when delaying occurs.
