Use a keyboard to play SF6 & Tekken 8 on PS5

[@IOSARBX]

HID Remapper, I really enjoyed this video, so I hit the like button!

[@paulb36utube]

Is the dream of keyboard/mouse play finally a dream come true.

[@virgill2452]

No, I don't think it emulates a PS5 controller

[@C3lticlord]

this is awesome I'll look for this

[@shaghilathar3588]

Where can I get everything listed in the video? Is that everything I need and how do I set it up?

[@cheeseynz]

Hi, great video. But can you please clarify something. You mention the use of any licensed PS4 arcade stick from Hori, Qanba etc. If you monitor the input codes from those devices, and remap it to your keyboard, then does that essentially negate the need for that USB dongle you used? So is the same true if I plug a PS5 dualsense controller in to map the inputs to another controller (thereby getting around the 8 minute timeout)?

[@jfedor]

The licensed stick would be an alternative to the Magicboots dongle, they serve the same function, you don't need both. Of course with a real stick you could also make use of the buttons that is has, if you wanted. You cannot use a DualSense for this purpose.

[@techhit2132]

Can you not monitor a dualsense controller input?

[@jfedor]

@@techhit2132 You can read inputs from a DualSense. You can't use it to make HID Remapper work with a PS5.

​@@jfedorCan you make a tutorial guide for ps5 arcade stick 😅 so we make home made arcade stick in home i have ps2 arcade sticks

[@joelee3796]

Is this method passthrough authentication? Will this not cause additional latency? Or does this have additional latency like that FGC Wingman? I just want to use the Xbox controller for fighting games on the PS5.

[@jfedor]

It does passthrough auth and it does introduce additional latency on the order of 1ms. Nothing you'd notice or that would matter in practice.

[@Verdigostorm]

I think i have everything setup correctly, does anyone have any idea on how I could test to see if it works without a ps5? I dont have one and have set this up for attending local events. Thanks.

[@drkseer9870]

When i press 2 button at the same time the game read the input as 1, 1+2, 2 im pretty sure i press the button at the same time, is it that my kb that cant handle those input? i just want to consistent button reads:(

[@hotdogsandrice]

Hi I am using the brook fgc converter and it is not working. When I use it without it recognizes it. I am not using a usb hub. I am connecting keyboard -> rp2040 feather -> brook converter -> ps5. Could it be the converter or should I use the magic boots or use a usb hub

[@jfedor]

The described use case is you plug both the keyboard and an authentication device (the Wingman should work) into a USB hub, plug the hub into the HID Remapper and plug that into the PS5. But of course it should also work the way you described, using the Wingman in its intended role as an adapter. Try setting the emulated device type on HID Remapper to "Switch gamepad" and see if you can get any inputs through that way.

[@GuiltyGearVietnam]

If I want to implement a usb hub (for the magicbooost) for the 2 pico variant, which pin should I use?

[@jfedor]

On the dual Pico variant you just use the USB port on the Pico.

[@thatminer66]

Is the Single Pico version of this to my keyboard (Machenike K500) possible on the PS5?

[@jfedor]

I'm not familiar with this keyboard, you'd have to try it.

[@K3mwer]

Where can I buy this? Is this accepted in local competitions?

[@bouky96]

@@K3mwer got the same problem

[@jfedor]

There's another video on this channel showing where you can get or how you can make one. Can't speak for your locals, but I don't see why not.

[@erheetrherh2659]

Ask who runs the competition, unless its part of the capcom tournies don't see it being a problem.

[@paulb36utube]

will it be function as a 4 port usb hub if nothing remapped?

[@jfedor]

Not really, it's not transparent. It always appears as a single device.

[@oughts5638]

Is there any alternative for the magic boots or I can make changes to the firmware of the raspberry PICO variant to make it so the ps5 auth is bypassed? Is there any firmware like that?

[@jfedor]

There are other dongles or controllers you can use.

[@oughts5638]

@@jfedor what dongles? Since the reason I made the HID remapper was because it is such a cheaper alternative and now this ps4 auth dongle costs as much as a brook wingman, is there noway to bypass the auth without a dongle? Either that or can you name a few dongles

[@oughts5638]

@@jfedoralso what do you mean by controller? Is there a way to use a controller as auth. bypass instead?

[@jfedor]

@@oughts5638 Other dongles include PXN N5, Haute42 Booter 5. You can use also use a controller like any PS4 licensed arcade stick from Qanba or Hori and others. Razer Raion works too. You cannot use a DualShock or DualSense.

[@oughts5638]

@@jfedor alright thanks!

[@Verdigostorm]

could you please write a bit of a dummy guide on what exactly you need to buy to set this up from scratch, I have just purchased the magicboots ps4 thing, from my understanding I need the RP2040 which is the actual device that works with HID remapper, the magicboots ps4 dongle so that the ps5 will accept the keyboard as a peripheral, and a usb hub so I can have everything connected as the RP2040 only has one USB port but I need 2? (1 for the ps4 dongle and one for the keyboard), just want to double check before i spent more money, thanks.

[@virgill2452]

I guess my message got deleted because it had a link. You need a board with the RP2040 processor, but also and usb host, you can build one from a pico, or buy something like the "Adafruit Feather RP2040 with USB Type A Host" You also need a dongle to authenticate your keyboard as a PS4 controller, something like the "mayflash magicboots" You need an usb hub so you can plug the dongle and the keyboard in the board

[@jaekwangchoi5943]

Is it possible?? use normal usb hub??

[@jfedor]

Yes.

[@arslanhabib6697]

I want to buy this plz help 😢😢😢

[@jfedor]

There's another video on this channel that gives you various options for getting one.

[@egg.8320]

Is this allowed in tournaments

[@jfedor]

You'd have to ask your tournament organizer, but I don't see why not.

[@giacomotanduo8801]

I bought the Feather RP2040 and set it up as my remapper but it doesn't have a usb hub. So I bought a usb hub and I attach the remapper and keyboard to it but the game still doesn't take input from the keyboard. What could be the problem? I don't have a Mayflash usb but I don't think it's that, in the end it's just for canceling the disconnection after 8 minutes, right?

[@jfedor]

You plug the keyboard into the USB-A port on the Feather. It needs to be the "with USB Host" one.

[@giacomotanduo8801]

@@jfedor What if I also want to attach a usb arcade stick to the ps5? How should I make the connections so that it detects both the keyboard and the arcade stick? Would it be right to attach the hub to the ps and the remapper and arcade stick to the hub?

[@jfedor]

@@giacomotanduo8801 If the arcade stick is not PS5 compatible by itself and you want to use HID Remapper to make it compatible then you have to plug it into the HID Remapper. If you want to use both the keyboard and the arcade stick at the same time, you need to plug a hub into HID Remapper and plug them both into the hub. Keep in mind HID Remapper functions as one controller so if you want to use them as separate controllers you would need two Remappers.

[@giacomotanduo8801]

@@jfedor the arcade is compatibile with the PS5 and I only need the HID remapper for playing with the keyboard on the PS5

[@jfedor]

@@giacomotanduo8801 Then I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to also play on the arcade stick at the same time? Then just plug it into the PS5 directly.
