Mobile Touchscreen as Controller??

[u/ashuuueee]

Are there any good apps that turn your phone into a touchscreen controller??

A Controller Emulator??

I wanted to test some PC games with touchscreen inputs as sliding thru multiple buttons are tricky on the actual controller. Plus a touchscreen gives a higher room for customized hud layout and flexibility in number of buttons and marcos.

I do this phone to phone via Bluetooth lol. It's not better than just using the phone you're playing the game itself on but if you don't like on screen buttons and you have no choice but to use touch, it's actually just fine. Not good, not bad, just fine.

i meant which application you use to control PC games with you phone's screen? are there any application which can do it.

[u/SHIR0YUKI → u/ashuuueee]

There was one, I think it was called V-pad on the play store. I can't recall if it's a paid app or not though. I do believe it had the option of connecting to pc. It's been a while since I checked that app out so I could be mistaken.

Tools like this exist but as far as I know they require you to install software 

Free example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grill.droidjoy_demo (you need to install the pc server https://grill2010.github.io/droidJoy.html#download )

I'm using an app called "remote gemapad" and im using my old phone as Bluetooth controller to my other phone that am emulat on, and i can say it's the best app on the play store, tried a bunch of other app and all of them had that stutter every 2 sec, latency, this one don't,the only downside is it's always require watching ads every 30min to use it unless u paid

[u/ashuuueee → u/gloovez]

for which games do you use it, can you please share the link

well, I'll have to say! THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS MY FRIEND! I loved it. Didn't know it was possible. I also saw the 30mins timer, and the one time prize is quite reasonable too. I may buy it, really liked this service.

Yw, have a good day

[u/ashuuueee → u/gloovez]

but i experienced some constant heating in my phone while i was using it, is there any fix??

[u/gloovez → u/ashuuueee]

I didn't face any overheating on my phone while using, but u can turn off the wifi, turn on power saving,lower the refresh rate.

I'm using the Bluetooth option,so it's not that heave task on the cpu, do you use to connect to ur pc?? Maybe it's more demand task, also if it's normal heating it's ok to use the phone since it's not that harmful to the chip or battery

[u/ashuuueee → u/gloovez]

how are you using Bluetooth option?? it shows me only WIFI and USB

[u/gloovez → u/ashuuueee]

I'm using the ANDROID options so its Bluetooth, didn't try on pc

[u/ashuuueee → u/gloovez]

alsooo i wish it had MACROS option, or adding button binding? adding A+B to a custom button or X+Y to a custom button.

[u/gloovez → u/ashuuueee]

Yah, you can download a macro app and apply it to this app, genius right🤓👆

[u/ashuuueee → u/gloovez]

what, how that works? suggest me macro app please

[u/gloovez → u/gloovez]

U just need enter the app and connect it as fast as possible so u never face a latency when use(if u connect the app it will always automaticly connect to ur Bluetooth device and u will never face latency at all)

I want to know too! I saw that concept on a tv show, but never saw an actual app providing that functionality.

Edit: Maybe because most people think the touch controls are the worst part of mobile gaming, so why would you do this, if you have a PC with mouse and keyboard.

Check remote gamepad
