Using this app you can send inputs to your computer from the GamePad.

Currently the client only runs on windows and you cannot configure input. Also screen streaming will most likely never be done because of the brandwidth.

User guide

You'll need a Windows computer (Linux and Mac OS are not supported by the client).

  • Download the app and the client from the Releases Page.
  • Run the client.
  • Run the app.
  • Get the local ip address of you computer - on windows you can use the command ipconfig.
  • Insert the ip address in the app and press A.

The GamePad keys will get mapped on your computer as various other keys like A for 'A', B for 'B', P for '+', etc.

Known issues

The input seems to not work for each application, with Dolphin being one example. (the problem was resolved by installing joystick simulator programs like vJoy, as discovered by brienj)

Latency is a potential concern. It has been tested with MK8 on CEMU using the controller, but the latency may vary with different number of devices on the network / computer speed / network speed.

Changelog
