A hacky workaround for the Game Sir wireless controller to interface with Dolphin Emulator

Project description

Long story short:

I bought this controller on Amazon because it was cheap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088GQY8FH

Turns out it is not great for Windows 10. The forums I read said that this controller mis-reports its capabilites and some programs like Dolphin Emulator will not recognize some buttons.

This python program creates a virtual controller (you must have vJoystick SDK installed) http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/download-a-install/78-download-a-install?layout=blog

This program grabs the controller input using pygame and then emulates a press on the vJoy virtual controller.

I wrote this in a single day, so no guarentees, but me and my kids have been using it successfully all weekend.

Hope it can help someone else :-)
