ShockEmu: Gamepad Support Fork

A fork of ShockEmu Pro, prioritizing gamepad support for a more immersive PlayStation gaming experience with Xbox or other gamepads.

What is ShockEmu (gamepad fork)?

ShockEmu (gamepad fork) is a specialized version of the ShockEmu Pro PlayStation emulator that has been customized to provide better gamepad support. While the original ShockEmu Pro focuses primarily on mouse and keyboard controls, the gamepad fork is designed specifically for using gamepads like Xbox, Logitech, or other PC controllers to play PlayStation games.

This fork enables full gamepad mapping so that you can assign your controller's buttons, triggers, sticks, and other inputs to mimic a DualShock PlayStation controller. It includes presets for common gamepads like Xbox and Logitech models. The developers have fine-tuned the sensitivity, deadzones, and other parameters to provide a natural feel when using a gamepad.

In addition, the gamepad fork has extra features tailored towards gamepad users. This includes rumble support so you can feel force feedback effects through your gamepad. There is also an on-screen virtual gamepad display so you can see the PlayStation button icons change in real-time as you map your physical gamepad. And the gamepad fork receives ongoing improvements and tweaks focused on controller play.

By using ShockEmu's gamepad-centric fork rather than the main emulator, you get a better experience playing PlayStation classics with a gamepad on your PC. It offers the conveniences that gamepad players need for an optimal control scheme and immersive gameplay feeling.
