Homebrew RELEASE HID-Mitm: Rebind buttons and use custom gamepads on your switch!

[narukyuubito]

help me to mapp my ds4. when I enter kosmos tool and I save his crash. and when my controller is connected by android. some buttons respond and others are reversed

Just a quick info on why there hasn't been an update in a while: I'm currently investigating a different approach to this by directly hooking functions inside HID which would help a lot with performance and some of the weirder problems.

I've been trying to compile this program myself, but I am missing some dependencies. Anyone with an idea how to compile it?

Did you git clone --recursive ?

I'm such a noob. I did not. Thank you very much!

Don't sweat it, pretty sure I've done the same more than once.

[URL]https://github.com/switchbrew/switch-examples/blob/master/hid/hdls/source/main.c [/URL]this is now a thing (fake gamepads on 7.0+ without needing to mitm stuff) making hid-mitm mostly obsolete once someone puts something together using this.

Interesting, thanks. Looking at the relevant header, looks straightforward, commands to add & remove virtual device and one to set its joysticks/buttons state.

MITM is useful in its own right. Can potentially be used for streaming the switch controller to someone far away.

Streaming the switch controller to somewhere else doesn't need mitm.

Any chance this will be updated to work on 8.1 soon? Just crashes on Nintendo Switch screen for me.

Thanks!

How much effort would it take for wired controllers?
Would you guys have to make an entirely new driver etc?

Rebinding buttons
Simply open the Kosmos toolbox, go to the sysmodule menu and continue to the hid-mitm menu from there (it's a simple button-press explained in the bottom bar)

After that a screen will pop up in which you can select the button you want to rebind and then what you want it to rebind for.
After you're done, be sure to touch the button in the middle to save your changes.

You can also configure it manually by editing the /modules/hid_mitm/config.ini file.

This is great and all but please add a way to have this per game!
That would be really awesome!
For example I hate the fact that CTR racing has a different button layout than Mario Kart 8, although it already offers two different layouts.

Please update this to 8.1 system!

Hello,

it is true that it is a very appreciated and interresting software.
It's a shame that we have no news of the development or a new version with new features.


I still hope that the project is not finished or that there will be an alternative.

bye

Just relaying what jakibaki told me: He currently has exams and other projects that are prioritized higher than this. But he has definitely not abandoned this project!

Update for 8.1 pushed. Thanks a lot to the people in the github issue for figuring out what was wrong!

Created an issue for that on github. Since you mentioned "people in the github" maybe one of them will take on this:
