#PS1-Remapper Using the PSXLibrary to read information from a Playstation 1 controller. Information is receiver via pyserial and redirected to keyboard inputs, using ctypes and the windows api. Using this code, you will be able to play games using a PS1 controller.
Demo:
##Version 1.0 Stable, working version.
##Documentation: Serial communication is using pyserial to read from the virtual COM port. Ctypes is used to import SendInput (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646310(v=vs.85).aspx) and simulate keypresses. Mappings can be changed in Remapper_defines.py. Virtual key-codes: (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd375731(v=vs.85).aspx)
A WORD (int16) is sent over serial connection. And bitmasks are used to determine keypresses. These are also in Remapper_defines.py.
##Dependencies: All available via pip.
- PSXLibrary (http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/PSXLibrary)
- pyserial (http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/)
- ctypes <3 (http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/)
- PSXLibrary (http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/PSXLibrary)
##Installation instructions: #####Step 1: Install dependencies. #####Step 2: Wire the board. WARNING! Before connecting your controller: Make sure to "clear" the board for any previous code, to make sure that power isen't accedently directed wrongly into the controller.
*Note you might have more/different depending on vibration, etc. Ignore these.
- 2 : brown (data)
- 4 : orange (command)
- 6 : yellow (attention)
- 8 : blue (clock)
- GND : black
- 3.3V : red
#####Step 3: Deploy Ps1_Controller.ino #####Step 4: Optional, configure mappings in Remapper_defines.py #####Step 5: Run Remapper.py ######Hint: You can find your COM port using the arduino software.
