About this app

DroidJoy - Full 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!

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. Please try the free lite version before purchasing the full version.

Ratings and reviews

This works well and set up was a little bit of work, but eventually we figured it out. I used the lite version for a few hours to be sure that it would work with the games we wanted to play, and I ended up buying it. Worth the few bucks to be able to use my tablet and phone to play on PC with multiple people versus having to buy more controllers.

Couldn't get it working even after going through the owner's site and the only video tutorial I found wasn't able to explain why it wasn't connecting to the app on my computer either. The video shows it working and the app maker offers to help by email, but I don't have any more time to spend on this app I paid for.

This app works as described. This developer has put in extra time to provide documentation and a walkthrough. Additionally, they use github, the Windows 10 driver is signed properly, the app looks great, and above all else... it works and is detected by Windows 10 as a proper gamepad! Awesome job. To those people who have given 1 star because you need tech support, ask for help before you give a bad rating. This is a great app!
