  • evdevhook

    Discontinued libevdev based DSU/cemuhook joystick server

  • Motion controls work. For emulators that need a cemuhook-style DSU protocol server, check out the evdevhook project.

  • steam-devices

    List of devices Steam and SteamVR will want read/write permissions on, to help downstream distributions create udev rules/etc

  • Creates two /dev/input/js* devices and two /dev/input/event* devices. To be usable, the user must have appropriate permissions/access to those devices, and udev tags on them may be required. Recent versions of the steam-devices project (which is packaged on some distros) have most of the udev rules needed.
