Had this idea couple months ago when I got my "8BitDo SN30 pro" controller.
Been working slowly on this since that day.
What's this?
- I fed .ini files, created a json log with controller mappings.
- A second script detects any usb controller and compares with json log.
- If there's a match, it displays every input in your currently connected gamepad, you set a keyboard key, mouse to stick and mouse button.
- Voilá, now you can use a usb controller to control your PC... which means, play WASD games with D-PAD and shit.
- If another app needs to take over the gamepad (like retroarch) you can set a combo to turn off/on the "engine" so the app can use gamepad normally. When you're done, press the combo to control PC with gamepad again.
