MQTT Broker responsible to execute commands sent by remote-pad.

The idea is receive data from a mobile simulating for example a Steering wheel for a race game (SNES Top Gear or Nintendo 64 Mario Kart), and act as if the keyboard is sending commands to the emulator.

You can install Remote Pad GUI to start a desktop app.

npm install # or yarn

./node_modules/.bin/mosca adduser alice alice \
    --credentials ./credentials.json \
    --authorize-publish '*/alice' \
    --authorize-subscribe '*/alice'

./node_modules/.bin/mosca adduser bob bob \
    --credentials ./credentials.json \
    --authorize-publish '*/bob' \
    --authorize-subscribe '*/bob'

./node_modules/.bin/mosca adduser carol carol \
    --credentials ./credentials.json \
    --authorize-publish '*/carol' \
    --authorize-subscribe '*/carol'

./node_modules/.bin/mosca adduser david david \
    --credentials ./credentials.json \
    --authorize-publish '*/david' \
    --authorize-subscribe '*/david'

./node_modules/.bin/mosca adduser gui gui \
    --credentials ./credentials.json \
    --authorize-publish 'gui/*' \
    --authorize-subscribe 'gui/*'

npm start

It's starts a MQTT Broker on port 1883 and a fallback for WebSocket on port 1884.

Every game has a profile for quick configuration. Look at the folder profiles/.

If you need to change any keyboard combination for SNES Top Gear, for example, go to profiles/race/snes--default. Every player has it's own file.

Download the master branch to some folder. Unzip and use the setup script.

cd remote-pad-server-master
./scripts/setup.sh

This will install all required software for running both server and client. Debian/Ubuntu x86_64 only.

After run the setup script.

pm2 monit

pm2 stop remote-pad-server remote-pad

pm2 delete remote-pad-server remote-pad
