Game Input MultipleXer

Hey,

I recently bought PS3 as an addition to my Xbox 360. Im a hardcore PC gamer that remember many old games. Mice + keyboard is a must for me and I had a big trouble playing Halo or Killzone on consoles. I ended them but I felt like a disabled person while using analogs to aim. I started to look for a solution that could give me ability to connect mouse and keyboard. There are a lot of emulators like Eagle Eye but they are all very pricey. Some days ago I found this project. I decided to give it a try using Ubuntu liveUSB stick and PS3 with bluetooth Sixaxis emulation.

I was a bit skeptical but once I run software and launched Killzone 1 HD I had to change difficulty from easy to hard! These bots didn't know where to hide while I was using mouse. That was like a shooting range! Completely different feelings from Sixaxis pad.

So to get a compatbility with Xbox360 I've ordered a Arduino Leonardo Atmega32u4 clone and CP2102 converter.

I assembled everything yesterday and here are the results:


Put all of these components into the box and connected it to PS3:

Thanks for this software! You rock mate!

Add Raspberry PI to release workload form your laptop (it takes less power)

Hey,

I've heard that Raspberry Pi doesn't work that well as a PC. I didn't spotted high CPU usage, GIMX isn't resource hungry. This laptop is a monster with 4.0 GHz CPU so it eats a lot of power in idle anyway

I use either my Lenovo laptop with Ubuntu or Raspberry PI 2+ with Raspbian and results were always exactly the same.
Config/game either works very well with both devices or with none of them
Now you have even new model P PI 3B.
I bet power consumption of your laptop is far higher than 2A - 4A "phone" charger. and you have other typical Unix server advantages.

...but at the end if it works for you, use what you like the most.
