Analog stick support

• D-Pad supports analog stick behaviour by default
• Introduced Changelog
• Improved documentation (e.g. explaining config.json)
• Improved logging
• Using module forever-monitor to restart the server if it crashes for some reason.
• Bug fixes

Web App fixed

Regression bug: The Web App functionality (ability to add the gamepad to the home screen on Andoid using Chrome) was broken.

Port fixed

In version 1.2.0 config.json sets the port to 8080 by default. This was an unintended change. Version 1.2.1 changes the port back to 80 as default setting.

Index Page

Version 1.2.0 adds an index page that lets the user select the input device (game pad, keyboard, or touch pad). The index page can be set to directly forward the user to the game pad if needed. To do so the key useGamepadByDefault in config.json must be changed to true.

Added virtual touchpads and keyboards

In version 1.1.0 a virtual keyboard and a virtual touchpad feature are added.

Furthermore, a few bugs are fixed. One of them includes that node-virtual-gamepads now also runs on x64 machine right out of the box.

First released version

Many months after the first commit, virtual-gamepad has been integrated into two awesome projects which are Recalbox and RetroPie. Thanks to some contributors, the code has been corrected and the actual version is now stable enough to be considered as the first release.

Many great evolutions are incoming :)
