About this app

DroidJoy - Lite version

Note: Does not work on consoles
*Server supports now XInput and DInput emulation*
*DroidJoy server 2.0.1. works on Windows 7 and above*

Before installing the app


1. Download the DroidJoy server software from https://grill2010.github.io/droidJoy.html#download
2. Install and start the server on your PC (If you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact me)
3. Be sure that your server and your Smartphone are in the same network. If you intend to use Bluetooth, be sure your PC is set to visible.
4. Start the DroidJoy app. Navigate to the "Connect" window and click "Search server".

Windows 10 1903 problem:
DInput is no longer supported in the server version 2.1.0. If you still need to use DInput you must use the DroidJoy server version 2.0.4 and you must have installed an older Windows version than Windows 10 build 1903.

With DroidJoy you can use your Android Smartphone as PC Joystick / Controller. Almost every game is supported due DInput and XInput emulation. Play games like GTA V, Call of Duty, Need for Speed, Sonic Mania, GTA San Andreas, Counter Strike and many more.

If you have any problems with the installation of the server, don't hesitate to contact me. I will reply as soon as possible.

!Be sure the DroidJoy server is running when you start your game or emulator. The game may not recognize gamepads which are plugged in during its runtime. In this case, simply restart your game!

Requirements


- Running DroidJoy server on your PC
- Android version 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher

Version 2.0


- Real gamepad emulation
* Multi Client support
* Up to 14 Buttons (limited in the lite version)
* G-Sensor support
* Buttons, volume keys, d-pad, left/ right joystick
* Use WiFi or Bluetooth connection
- X-Box 360 controller emulation with native XInput driver
- Gamepad layout configuration
* Customization of template layouts
- Easy connection Setup

Information


- If you want to connect more than one Smartphone with your PC, you have to configure the same amount of virtual gamepads in the server application.

Note: It can have several reasons if your game doesn't recognize the virtual gamepad as input device. Some new games just support X-Box gamepads and won't work with DInput gamepads. If you want to play a game which only supports PC-X-Box gamepads, you have to configure the DroidJoy server to emulate XInput devices.

Couldn't get it to work. Tried everything to get my phone to find the server and absolutely nothing works. Tried wired and Bluetooth connections, followed all steps exactly and even tried adding the server manually but, still nothing. EDIT: Disabled windows defender and firewall and still couldn't get it to work. Only message I got was that my phone couldn't find the server. Will give it another go. Upping rating due to devs responsiveness and willingness to help.

Great little app for what it does. It is very close to being a controller replacement for playing games on PC, but not if you care about rumble. Most of the reason I wanted this app was to use the vibration of my phone to emulate rumble in games, and it seems like this app can't do that. I consider rumble support to be very important, but if you have no need for that, then the app will serve you well. Edit: My original review of 2 stars was a little harsh, so I've updated it to 3 stars.

Does exactly as advertised, however accelerometer is a bit oversensitive even set to higher numbers, I recommend checking the mixed box in the options for analog sticks before raising the numbers Also in order to to really be able to customize the entire layout of all available buttons & sticks including their sizes and positions, vibration and snap back to -0- settings can be done for a single profile or multiple for different games. IMO the $1.99 to unlock lite version is worth it
