This program aims to act like a wireless gamepad.This homebrew app allows you to control your PC from your DS by turning it into a wireless controller.The server app is currently Linux only, but the program does support the [[DS2Key|DS2Key]] Windows server. It was participated in the NEO Spring Coding Compo 2007 (NDS App). ==Installation== For the server part, you have to install PPJoy and run the server (DS2Key). Before the first launch, you have to patch the nds file with the correct [[DLDI|DLDI]] driver. ===Linux Server=== You'll need both uinput and joydev modules. Make sure to have read/write access on /dev/misc/uinput or /dev/input/uinput or /dev/uinput devices. The default server behaviour is to load ~/DSPad_server.xml. If you want to load another file, you could force it with the -f switch. '''Starting server:''' $ ./dspad_server -f DSPad_server.xml --- Starting DSPad Server v0.2 --- Loading "DSPad_server.xml" Reading "DSPad_server.xml" OK [0] Creation of service: [0] Joystick device OK [0] Socket on port 16150 OK [0] Creation of service: OK [1] Creation of service: [1] Joystick device OK [1] Socket on port 16151 OK [1] Creation of service: OK After this step, there will be two (or more according your choice) new /dev/input/jsX and any game/emu could work with. '''Starting client:''' * Make sure you patched the nds file with the correct [[DLDI|DLDI]] driver. * In normal conditions, you would put the DSPad.xml file in your linker root file system. In the case this file does not exist, it will be automatically regenerated. '''ds2key mode:''' * All you have to do, is set up your ds2key server as usual. * Then in the dspad settings, you have to check the ds2key compatibility box. * By default, ds2key server listen on the 9501 port. Be sure to set up your dspad client to the right value. ===Windows Server=== Windows ds2key server could be used with DSPad which could be found [http://www.1emulation.com/forums/topic/21383-ds2key-server-07-beta/ here]. * Open up the rar file, and follow Virtual Gamepad Setup.txt in there first. * Run DS2Key server (press unblock if the windows firewall shows up). * Put the .nds file in ur device and run it. * Press the settings icon, then press the middle icon. Only check the DS2Key compatibility mode - not the turbo keys. * Go back, click the third icon this time.Leave local port alone. * Change the server port to your computer's ip (find that out by going to command prompt and type in ipconfig /all). * Type in the port which the DS2Key SERVER is running through. * Save the settings. * Press the first icon to start and press one. While in ds2key mode, turbo keys are not available. Plus, Only one touchscreen could be used. This is a ds2key limitation because it emulates keyboard+mouse while DSPad emulates joystick. ==Media== '''How To Turn your DS into a PC Gamepad''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g46ZZpUage8 Mechaghostman2]) <br> <youtube>g46ZZpUage8</youtube> ==Changelog== '''Version 0.2b''' * Improved ds2key profile handling. '''Version 0.2''' * Settings Gui, no need to edit xml file Cheesy. * Animated menus, just for fun (gartoon icons). * Automatic backlight shutdown after à choosen time. * Touch screen work as an analog stick with one or more DSes at the same time. * Turbo keys. * ds2key 0.6/0.7 compatibility mode (keys + touch screen). * Open Source. * [Server]: xml config too. '''Version 0.1''' * client et serveur works (heavy zsnes testing). * XML config file. * DLDI is ok (only tested on supercard sd). * GUI powered by PAlib. ==External links== * PlayerAdvance.org - http://playeradvance.org/forum/showthread.php?p=109125#post109125 * NeoFlash - https://www.neoflash.com/forum/index.php?topic=3894.0 [[Category:NEO Spring Coding Compo 2007]]
