I have a TMX racing wheel and the TH8S shifter. I want to map the shifter to currently mapped dpad and paddles on the wheel in the json, not override it, but have both inputs working. How would I code that into the json? I have used the trace app to pull the GUID and button numbers, so just need to know how to inject that info into the json.

Thanks!

Map multiple inputs to the same output, it will work as you want by default as I assume these are digital inputs and not analog that you are making as your targets.

Another way to say this: you can have the same targetButtons or targetDpads for multiple defined inputs.

I think the code for mapping multiple GUIDs to a single button in the earlier reply might be wrong. I couldn't get it to work.

I tried a mixture of that and Copilot and came up with the following which did the trick for me.

Same Gear shifter as yours, but my wheel is the TS-PC Racer. Pasted the full json so you can see it in context, but at the end of the 'buttons' section I've mapped A,B,X,Y to 0,1,2,3 on my shifter (gear changes in Daytona!). The plus side is the same buttons still work on my wheel.

Program is especially useful for emulating systems like Dreamcast, where the controller has limited buttons so you need to multitask. Crazy Taxi for example uses A and B to navigate menus but are then gear shifts in game - so I wanted wheel shifting to function while also retaining the face buttons for navigation:

Great little program by the way Nugarp. Once I've got my head around it looks like it can replace x360ce in a lot of similar user cases.

Cheers. The way you have done it is correct, as you noticed :).

I have a 1.6 beta that will send ffb or rumble to multiple devices, so if anyone needs that, find me on discord. It should also support hotswapping of the config.
