[Feature Request] Remote Gamepad support.

Open Bitwolfies opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Yeah, long shot and tons of work I know, and its something that can sorta be achieved already with specialized VNC configs. But regardless, now that we have the Steam Deck, we actually have a good way to preserve the gamepad experience. Being able to run the cemu workload on our pc's while streaming the screen output/controller/gyro/speaker/mic inputs to the deck would be as close to a real Wii U experience as we can get.

Its a long shot, not critical at all, but would be amazing.

Couldn't you use Steam's game streaming, Sunshine/Moonlight gamestream, or Parsec for this purpose? These all support inputs, audio and video being sent across the network for the purpose of gaming.

You “can” but they only allow mirrored screens, so no proper separate game pad view. If they update with the option to treat the second screen as a second monitor my request would be moot.

Requires a cable hooked into a second screen, which is what im trying to avoid, the Wii U gamepad wasn't wired to the console. I am aware dual monitors exist.

There are streaming programs that allow you to just stream a certain window

If you were to use a smartphone instead of a Steam Deck, you could also use your device's front camera as GamePad Camera and the smartphone's NFC sensor to scan and write to Amiibos and other supported NFC tags. Furthermore, the Smartphone could be hooked to an Xbox One Controller for example, which would give you all the buttons/analog sticks (except for the HOME Button) and rumble support.

For this, it would be most user-friendly to develop an Android/iOS app that takes care of all inputs and outputs (with the exception of the Xbox controller, which can also be connected directly to the PC via Bluetooth) and streaming from and to the Cemu Desktop Application.

It would be nice to have alternatives to the GamePad (e.g. via phone or Steam Deck) natively integrated into Cemu but it's quite a lot of effort and outside of the scope of the project for now.
