I am The Controller

Gamepad acting up? Keyboard not responding properly? Can't get that other user to work? Read and post about it here.

I am The Controller

Post by TJ31324 »

So I am working with the XBox kinect software package offered by the University of Southern California to map gestures to keys. It is call FAAST for Flexible action and articulated skeleton toolkit. I have all of the gestures mapped correctly, but still no response from ZSNES. I assume it is not accepting input and I have seen other similar emulators fixed by enabling direct_input in the source. I not exactly sure how it all is handled, but I thought I might mention that in case it rang any bells. Thank You!

Provided that Kinect acts like any other mapped controller, there shouldn't be any issue with zsnes. I don't really have any suggestions except to ask the people who made the drivers for the interface.

Here is the opinion of someone who integrated the Kinect with snes9x, "zsnes will not work because I think FAAST is passing Win32 key events (dosbox will also not work for that matter!)." If your interested in seeing the video just search Kinect Zelda on youtube. I guess I am going to give snes9x a try.

Can't it just be made in to a standard HID driver rather than trying to push events? That kind of thing never seemed to workk too universally in windows, and some games with cheat protection might bug out.

Standard HID driver must be signed, at least on 64 bit systems.

It's not as if code signing licenses are terribly expensive.
