PS3 Game Input Multiplexer Update v0.25 is Now Available

73w ago - Following up on the previous releases, today Matlo has updated his PlayStation 3 project which allows users to use a Mouse, Keyboard or Joystick to control their PS3 to version 0.25.

He has also renamed the project from "Sixaxis Emulator" to "Game Input Multiplexer".
