Yes, i've noticed that and it is possible.
However for me it would not work because when you drive a hot lap in F1 2018, you cannot permit 0.5s connection loss.
I could implement it for others.

Best option would be to let say 'clone' the authentication of a controller that you own so that you only have to 'read' it once and that you don't have to connect it. With some effort this might be possible. However once again this appealing to piracy and way beyond the ToS ;) Lets keep it this (gimx) way.

maybe we can use some of the clone controllers chips like nuvoton

Thijs, what if the connection was just re-initialized and not dropped at any point?
i have no idea if that would be possible, but just an idea :)

Also cloning controllers could maybe work. also, would it be piracy? i mean its not like you're selling controllers, but mere making yours talk to the ps4.

IMO there should not be anything that could legally prevent you from hacking or tapping into a system that you bought, as long as you don't use it for otherwise illegal purposes ie. running copyrighted content on the console.

when trying to compile (both an edited and an unedited version)
i get these errors

Re: Arduino only-based adapter (no PC needed)

Post by Mysli0210 »

I fixed the error :D
I had to do the following:
  • Download arduino 1.8.5 (as seen in ThijsNL's screenshot)
  • Place it in a seperate folder from the normal arduino ide folder
  • Inside this folder create a folder called "portable" this will force the IDE to not use the Arduino15 folder which holds cores, all your regular configs and such.
    and thereby make LUFA actually work, as it works by blocking a lot of files that has to do with USB handling
  • Install git https://git-scm.com/download/win
  • Install python 3.3 (newest version probably works too, but 3.3 has been tested) https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-330/
  • Inside the arduino folder Shift+right click on libraries and click on "open Powershell window here"
  • Inside the Powershell run the following commands

    Code: Select all

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/Palatis/Arduino-Lufa.git LUFA

    Code: Select all

    ./LUFA/activate.py
  • Extract gimx lite https://github.com/mathijsvandenberg/g29emu into <ARDUINO FOLDER>\portable\sketchbook\g29emu (no sub folders)
  • Extract newest version of USB Host Shield Library https://www.arduinolibraries.info/libra ... ibrary-2-0 into <ARDUINO FOLDER>\libraries
  • Edit <ARDUINO FOLDER>\libraries\USB_Host_Shield_Library_2_0-1.3.2\settings.h so that it looks like this

And that should be it if i remember correctly, and also this could probably be done in a more clean way.

Please stop calling this project 'GIMX lite'. People are getting confused, and mistakenly think this is developed by the GIMX team. Thanks for your understanding.

I wonder how could I adapt this for Xbox one? can someone give me tips how to adapt it? (I already asked in github but I am wondering if someone has done this here)

Hi

First of all many thanks for this contribution. Very useful the take the best of my old wheel...

I am newbie in Arduino and do not want disturb anyone with this question... but, I wonder if it would be possible to compile and load this code for an Arduino R3 (ATMEGA328P) and which changes I would have to put in place.

I put all pieces together following the guide but I used a R3 (I already had one :roll: )instead a Leonardo one to try, and I got a message telling USB_DEVICE_ONLY not available for my board model.

If there is any way I will try... If not I will buy a Leonardo one.

thx
