-- UPDATE May 17th --

This update brings a new feature specially aimed for game streamers. It is now possible create a Virtual Controller to show the controller inputs within streaming applications, such as OBS.

The Virtual Controller must be enabled at Preferences -> Devices and the ViGEm Bus Driver must be installed on the computer.

ViGEm stands for Virtual Gamepad Emulation Framework
ViGEm aims for a 100% accurate emulation of well-known gaming peripherals as pure software-based devices at kernel level. As it mimics "the real thing" games and other processes require no additional modification whatsoever to detect ViGEm-based devices (no Proxy-DLLs or API-Hooking) and simply work out of the box. While the (now obsolete) Scarlett.Crush Productions Virtual Bus Driver is the spiritual father of this project, ViGEm has been designed and written from the ground up utilizing Microsoft's Kernel-Mode Driver Framework.

Download ViGEm Bus Driver from here:
https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmBus/releases (ViGEmBus_Setup_1.16.116.exe)

The Virtual Controller can be created using the INPUT data (actual user inputs on the controller) or the OUTPUT data (after processed by the running script/gamepack). The user can emulate a Xbox 360 controller or DualShock 4.

Gtuner IV and Titan Two 1.08 BETA Release

In preparation to support the next generation consoles (PS5 and XSX) the 1.08 update adds 4 new I/O identifiers fully dedicated for back-paddles (PADDLE_1, ..., PADDLE_4).

The identifiers BUTTON_18, BUTTON_19, BUTTON_20 and BUTTON_21 are now designated for console specific functionalities.

This update has also implemented almost all requests listed on Gtuner's GitHub. Following you can find a brief explanation of the most relevant new features. Check the changelog below for the full list of changes made and visit the corresponding GitHub issue for more details of each request and final implementation.

Input Translator Editor: The user can now select console based labels for the IO identifiers.

GPC Scripting: Input Translators files can now be directly added to a script source code with preprocessor directive #import "<filename>", example:
Code: Select all
#import "#03-temp.git"
 
init {
    remapper(_03_temp_cmap);
    keymapping(_03_temp_kmap);
    mousemapping(_03_temp_mmap);
    mxyconverter(_03_temp_mxyc);
}
More details here: https://www.consoletuner.com/wiki/index ... =t2:import

GPC Scripting: Added new GPC function get_port() to retrieve the port which originated the normalized input value, example:
Code: Select all
main {
    // If BUTTON_16 is active ...
    if(get_actual(BUTTON_16)) {
        // and if the value is comming from USB-B ...
        if(get_port(BUTTON_16) == PORT_USB_B) {
            // don't forward the input to the console.
            set_val(BUTTON_16, 0.0);
        }
    }
}
More details here: https://www.consoletuner.com/wiki/index ... 2:get_port

I appreciate if you guys could test and provide feedback.

In the meantime, I will be dedicated to the Titan Two firmware requests listed on GitHub. I plan, whenever is possible, release beta updates of the firmware as each request is implemented.

Thank you.

Big update, thanks J2K!

Do the new paddle bindings also apply to Elite and Elite S2 controllers?

I recall there being issues with paddles when using Elite controllers on PS4 - I had to neutralise some unintended input (Share button being triggered) via an Input Translator.

IO identifiers for Input Translators is also very handy and will save some time.

Thank you antithesis and prototype.

Yes, to both Elite controllers as well as to Steam controller.

Before this update, the PS4 Share button and the Elite P1 were sharing the same I/O identifier. With 1.08 update these buttons are allocated in separated identifiers, which solves this issue for good. :smile0517:

Haven't had time to fully mess around with this yet, but reading here, very nice job :smile0203:

The Input Translator part alone should make it much more user friendly :P

And the ability to install gbc's - maybe in the future a way to setup Gtuner to have "infinite" slots via loading GBC off the SD rather than 1-9? (Could have led change color to indicate a higher slot#)

Definitively, this feature is something we can be improving in future updates. :smile0517: Currently this feature allows extend the maximum size of a script by splitting it in several parts. For example, by coding a script file for each character of a fighting game and then dynamically load the character bytecode according the users choice.

Wait, what :shocked: ...we talked about this years ago, it's finally happening :smile0208:

So it'll be possible to say have a class selection menu in Battlefield, then load a different GBC file, depending on class?

Likewise, this would cover the weapon packs we discussed with Scachi for games like Destiny 2. Pick a Primary, Secondary and Heavy from menus and get weapon-specific rapid-fire, recoil etc. This was already possible, but we hit the bytecode limit.

This exponentially increases the size and quantity of mods we can use and should be posted on a giant neon sign!

....

Parts of this was already possible...April 2019, "script_load example" in the Online Resource.
But I missed the option to bundle multiple .gbc files into a single download and an automated install for those kind of scripts with all included gbc files to sd. I think it is still not possible to have those automatically installed onto the sd or bundled into a single download ?

But now we can copy it to the SD without having to remove the SD from the T2, so it is a big step forward
with some steps missing or me missing that they are already included and how to use them :wink:

Yeah I remember that, but filed it in the "too hard" basket at the time :)

Let's see how this one plays out. Simply pointing to external files from a menu and loading them from SD would be very handy.
