Is there a FOSS alternative to steam input?
Basically just the title. Steam input is really fantastic for mapping controllers and I use it all the time, but for non steam games or other use cases I was wondering if there’s another software that can do the same thing? I know I can still use steam for this and I do, it works great as well, I just like using open source!
Graphical program used to map keyboard buttons and mouse controls to a gamepad. Useful for playing games with no gamepad support. - AntiMicroX/antimicrox
I just wish it had an aggregate view of all libraries without games being installed.
Have you taken a look at Cartridges? Maybe it can do what you are looking for.
Playnite is the dopest. I miss it too.
Heroic Launcher is the closest thing that I’ve seen.
A not-very-user-friendly software is MoltenGamepad (github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad).
It is configured only via config files, but can take any input and create virtual gamepads (xbox gamepads cad be specified) which works everywhere I’ve tried them in Linux.
I’m using it for playing gamepad-only games on my arcade machine, which has an ipac controller board acting as a USB keyboard. I can map keyboard buttons to the virtual controllers.
Also used it to play a game with physical gamepads that wasn’t supported by that specific game.
