Summer is a relaxing time of the year, they said, it’ll be calm, they said. Well, no. After a massive release with keyboard, mouse and device groups, we are going to surprise you again with reWASD 5.1 and its awesome new features.
Use Virtual DS4 controller for Remote Play
Enjoy Sony exclusive games with Remote Play and… any controller you have! With reWASD 5.1, you can create a Virtual DS4 controller out of DS3, Xbox or Nintendo gamepad. Or you can use it together with your physical DS4 to enable combos, turbo and toggle. Everything you liked about Virtual Xbox 360 controller from reWASD, now available for Sony fans too.
Keep an eye on gamepad battery in the system tray
Once you connect a wireless gamepad, you will see a new icon in the system tray. It will show the battery status, so you won’t need to open reWASD and check it there. In Preferences, you can set which icons we should show and which are not interesting for you. Also, you can choose a fancy color for each gamepad, so it’ll be easier to know who is who.
Map sticks to stick direction of a virtual controller
To turn your controller into Xbox 360 or DS4, you need to map a single controller button to the correspondent virtual control and press Apply. But if you want to adjust everything by yourself, now it is possible. In addition to digital controls, virtual stick directions appeared in the list of reWASD mappings for physical sticks.
Record the smallest pause in Combo Editor
In previous reWASD versions, we didn’t record tiny pauses between button presses to make combo as fast as possible. But seems that for some games, each millisecond matters. Now Combo recorder detects each and every pause but you still can easily remove the explicit ones using the pause context menu.
Enjoy faster, optimized and less resourceful app
We do not want to bother you with technical details but you may be sure that we’ve made a huge optimization in reWASD 5.1. You may not see but will feel the difference. At least you may notice that each mapping on the controller changes its size together with the main window, and it looks awesome!
