Cemuhook UDP server for devices with modern Linux drivers - successor to original evdevhook

Supported devices

• Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
• DualShock 3 controller (currently untested, feedback welcome)
• DualShock 4 controller
• DualSense controller

Configuration

No configuration is required to get started - just run the resulting binary and it will expose all supported controllers!

However, if you want to tweak controller orientations, run server on a different port, or use over four controllers at once by running multiple servers on different ports, it's possible to do so by providing a config file. See example config for syntax and full list of supported options.
