GIMX saved our Christmas
Posted: Sat Dec 26, 2015 4:47 pm
Hi all! Just a quick note of thanks for creating GIMX, which saved (to some degree anyway) our Christmas day yesterday.
I'll explain: Yesterday, we had some friends over for Christmas day. They brought their Playstation 3, as well as some Rock Band-type games, two guitars a drum kit and a vocal mic. When setting up, it turned out they had forgotten to also bring a regular controller, leaving the vocal player with no way to join the game. After some searching around the web, trying and failing with an Android application to emulate a controller, we found GIMX. After a bit more fiddling with the hardware and figuring out what pins to use (I used an Arduino Leonardo instead of a Teensy - I updated the wiki with the correct pins to use), we got GIMX working and could start playing.
So, thanks for that, our Christmas day has been a lot more fun due to GIMX :-D
