This little tool allows you to play your favorite games with your MIDI keyboard.
This program does not emulate a GamePad, it simulates a keyboard. Nevertheless, you can use it as input for a GamePad emulator.
The easiest way to launch MIDI GamePad is to pass the {deviceID}
and the {mpPath}
parameters:
midi-gamepad 0 examples\abc.json
To start in TUI mode, just pass no parameters (or --tui
).
--version
prints the version info.
--help
displays a help text.
You can either build this app yourself (see both variants below) or just download a precompiled binary from the releases page.
git clone https://github.com/voidblaster/midi-gamepad
cd midi-gamepad
dub build
- You can now find the executable in the
bin/
directory.
dub fetch midi-gamepad
dub build midi-gamepad
- You can now run the executable via
dub run
. - Pass any parameters after a double dash (
--
):
dub run midi-gamepad -- <args>
Only Windows is supported, at the moment. If you want to add support for another OS, feel free to contribute! 😃
