Does anybody have an already-set up alternate input scheme to give out?

There are predefined keyconfigs which come with 3DSCPlusDummy. GIMP.ini should have a few rectangles setup.

GIMP.ini? Is that in the source code?

Just in case, I downloaded it right now.

All right. GIMP.ini. I do not see how does this fit on the Python script.

Ouch.

Yeah, for the Python script there is a list of tuples which stores rectangle bounds, it's named alt_map.
Here is the format: (X, Y, width, height, [keys])
Example: CTRL-S (0, 0, 16, 16, [Xlib.XK.XK_Control_L, "S"])

EDIT: Managed to make the touch screen work, but the keypads nada.. hmm

whats:

CAL:
32;24 --> 492;521
288;216 --> 3568;3563

Also managed to key this as well:

you must configure the parameters in vJoyConf otherwise you'll get a crash

• Axes = X, Y, Ry, Ry
• Number of buttons = 16
• POV = 1 Continuous
• Disable all effects

Why 2 Ry? Also keypads doesnt seem to work.

What is a keypad?

The CAL popup happens when using osu!Controller, I accidentally left it in. It displays touch screen callibration, which changes hardware touchscreen readings into pixel co-ordinates.

The vJoy client will be eventually replaced by an Xbox360 controller emulator. In the meantime enable Z and Rz too if you want to use the CStick. Double Ry is a typo, it should be Rx, Ry, Rz.

Hi, firstly thank you for making this, it's awesome!

For people that want to use it as a controller on any game, here are some steps:

Spoiler: Instructions

Firstly, make sure that everything works fine on the 3DS side.

Then, install vJoy driver from their official website:
http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/download-a-install/download

Don't forget to configure it according to OP

After this, download UCR from GitHub:
https://github.com/Snoothy/UCR/releases

You can now run DummyJoy, connect to your 3DS and check that you can interact with the vJoy controller using vJoy Monitor.

Now, you only need to configure UCR to emulate an Xbox360 controller:

Install ViGEmBus:
https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmBus/releases

You can now run UCR, and create a new profile, set the input device to the fist vJoy Device and the output one to the first ViGEm Xbox 360 controller.
Now, you need to map all buttons and axis, run the profile, and you're ready to go!
It should even works on games that has protections like Denuvo.

Note:
To map LT and RT, you will need to use two "Map two buttons to one axis", like this:

I hope it helped you, feel free to ask any questions

Edit: it's now way easier as I have written a program to emulate an Xbox360/DS4 controller directly:

Thanks for the temporary workaround!

Edit: added reference to first post until I get xboxinterface working

If you run into issues using the old ScpVBus, you may try to use ViGEm, it's updated and easier to install.
I think you can look at the code of UCR to know how to use it

Edit: I can try to look at it myself, but I'm unable to get the source of DummyJoy on the repository

Yeah, no idea how to use ViGEM, I'm still stuck with ScpVbus.

DummyJoy's source code was never released, nor was it ever meant to be released; it's just a hackjob I used myself, but people have been requesting for ages. Just use a .NET decompiler, the interesting stuff is in the Dummy class.

 

[Eveldee]

I managed to get something working out of it using ViGEm, I need to refactor some code and I'll post it here

Thanks for this share as well. Hope other people will find it useful.

That's interesting if I'm willing to wait. but for now I decided to buy an cheap joystick to finish my XIII-2 journey. Your future released will be interesting to other people. and if I might ended up here again I will try it too!

Here is the fist release, please report any bug if you find one, and tell me if you see any improvement that could be made.
I hope you'll enjoy it: https://github.com/Eveldee/Eveldee.3DSCPlusViGEm

Aww yes!

I can't wait to test this out

Two things I noticed though:
1) You're handling TouchEx as regular touch, when it's not. Regular touch uses software co-ordinates [0;0 --> 320;240), whereas TouchEx uses hardware co-ordinates [0;0 --> 4096;4096).
2) In Controller.cs there is a possible race condition in the Stop method. I suggest subscribing to the disconnect event first, then disconnecting. Also don't forget to unsubscribe from the event handler after it has fired!

 

[Eveldee]

Thanks for the advices, I've not decided what I will do with the touch input at the moment, I'll check this out when trying to use it.

To be honest, the way I handle disconnecting seems wrong for me, I'll try to do it differently.

Edit: I fixed the racing condition, but I have an issue with the touch input: when I try to map the touch input in TouchEx, it repeats the input instead of staying "pressed", do you have any idea why?

 

[Moon164]

I managed to connect, but I couldn't add any key to any button for the 3DS, does anyone have a solution?

 

[x149te]

Y button doesn't work

Same problem.

Works flawless!
