vgamepad Talon integration

This will allow us to emulate Xbox360 gamepad actions with Talon. Only Windows and Linux are supported.

Used by the game_tools folder for game_xbox_ actions.

Setup

  1. Locate your TALON_HOME dir, on windows this is ~/AppData/Roaming/talon. You can say "talon home" to get the path.

  2. Clone roku-talon-shared into your [TALON_HOME]/user folder. If you already have it, then you are done with this step.

    From your terminal of choice, navigate to your [TALON_HOME]/user folder and run the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/rokubop/roku-talon-shared.git

    Or if you don't want to use git, you can copy the files manually.

  3. In addition to cloning the files, we must also install vgamepad with Talon's pip (package installer for python). Using your terminal of choice...

    Windows (If your TALON_HOME is ~/AppData/Roaming/talon)

    ~/AppData/Roaming/talon/venv/3.11/Scripts/pip.bat install vgamepad

    Linux:

    [TALON_HOME]/bin/pip install vgamepad

    Windows only

    It will prompt you to install ViGEmBus by Nefarius Software Solutions. Install ViGEmBus. vgamepad is a wrapper around Nefarius' Virtual Gamepad Emulation framework which you can read about here (https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus)

    Linux only

    Additional setup is required for Linux. See the README in the vgamepad/.subtrees/vgamepad folder.

  4. Done! Now the user.game_xbox_ actions should work from game_tools folder.

The below low level actions are available, but it is recommended to use the game_xbox_ actions instead.

Virtual Gamepad (vgamepad) is a small python library that emulates XBox360 and DualShock4 gamepads on your system. It enables controlling e.g. a video-game that requires analog input, directly from your python script.
