Most of the source comes from: Steam Beta Forum

Thank you so much to everyone in the forum for contributing, for reaching out to 8BitDo to request switching between XInput/DInput/Switch mode on the dongle, to Valve for adding support on DInput mode, to the SDL developers (and 8bitdo) for adding support on DInput mode, and finally, to the Linux kernel developers for adding support on XInput mode.

This gist summarizes everything from that forum.

Switching Mode

So after the latest firmware update (as the time of writing: Controller 1.06, Adapter 1.04), its now possible to switch to DInput and Switch mode by holding B (DInput) or Y (Switch) while turning on t

Reverse Engineering SP110e LED Controller

Through Bluetooth sniffing, using this method I've been able to (semi reliably) control the SP110e controller via Homebridge.

You can find this controller for very cheap here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000773623427.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4f09329cJ7C1H4&algo_pvid=542e757b-587f-4540-8652-2195883f1349&algo_expid=542e757b-587f-4540-8652-2195883f1349-0&btsid=0bb0622a16012309671478585ed4bd&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

This entire guide is for Bluetooth LE libraries, and uses hexidecimal.

Using cec-client on a Raspberry Pi

Most modern HDMI connected devices support Consumer Electronics Control (CEC). It allows devices to send commands to each other, typically to get the TV to switch input and control volume. If you have ever turned on a Game Console and had your TV automatically change input to that device you have seen CEC in action. It is very convenient and useful, sort of a universal remote that works.

Every manufacturer seems to have it’s own branding of CEC (e.g. Samsung Anynet+, LG SimpLink, Sharp Aquos Link) but it may need to be enabled. Check your manual for details.

Using a Raspberry Pi connected to a TV that supports CEC, you can use the command line cec-client application to control the inputs and the TV itself. These are notes on how to use cec-client and understand the different options.

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

-- Levenshtein reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

-- Arjen note: because the levenshtein value is encoded in a byte array, distance cannot exceed 255;
-- thus the maximum string length this implementation can handle is also limited to 255 characters.

A week ago I was CC'd in on a thread about Linux packaging, and how to avoid doing it the wrong way (i.e. RPM, Deb, etc.). I've always used MojoSetup and I've never forced distributions to do any additional work, but this is still a new concept to a lot of people. Additionally, Amos suggested that I expand on Itch's FNA appendix, so here's a guide on how I package my games.

This is a bit of an expansion on my MAGFest 2016 presentation, which you can find here:

I would recommend looking at that first! After that, read on...

Have you ever wanted to get a specific data from another website but there's no API available for it? That's where Web Scraping comes in, if the data is not made available by the website we can just scrape it from the website itself.

But before we dive in let us first define what web scraping is. According to Wikipedia:

{% blockquote %} Web scraping (web harvesting or web data extraction) is a computer software technique of extracting information from websites. Usually, such software programs simulate human exploration of the World Wide Web by either implementing low-level Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or embedding a fully-fledged web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. {% endblockquote %}
