About A-PC GamePad APK

Description

A-PC GamePad

Play PC games wirelessly with your Android gamepad! One app on your Android connects to another app on your PC, so you can play PC games with Android gamepads, or the touchscreen gamepad.

With Nvidia Shield, or another android device, this takes over the controls on the gamepad, and sends them to your PC.
It runs in the background so you can use any other app while you control your PC. Apps like Splashtop Streamer , Remote Desktop, Limelight, Nvidia GameStream, Remotr, or VNC can stream your PC screen to your android device, allowing you to play your PC from anywhere in the world!
You can even use your Nvidia Shield Controller, or other Android gamepad wirelessly with your PC! Now there is vibration (force feedback) on devices that vibrate. (Controller will not vibrate, only the device if it has vibration).
Supports multiple controllers! Play games with your friends.

This will take a little work to setup, but is easy to run after that. You can refer to the help website here -

2. Run the downloaded file and follow instructions to install. One screen will ask to install companion applications, make sure to install vJoy Configuration.
3. After installing, run the vJoy configuration app. Use the vJoyConfigSetting.png in the A-PC folder to show settings or follow the next steps.
4. Check Axes : X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, R/R/Rz/Rudder
5. POV Hat Switch : Continuous, POVs: 1
6. Number of Buttons : 10
7. Action: Configure
8. Target Device : 1
9. Click Apply - this will setup a vJoy virtual joystick on device slot 1.
Setup multiple controllers: (if you want them)
10. Change the target device to 2. Click Apply to add a 2nd controller. Repeat with 3, 4, etc.
11. Click OK to finish.

Start the Server on the PC:
1. Download the server from the website. Extract the folder.
https://sites.google.com/site/silentdesignsandroid/a-pc-gamepad
2. On your PC, run the application in the folder called APCGamePadServer_vX.X(.exe).

Install & Configure the Android client app:
1. Open the application
2. On the Android device go to settings -> language & input -> Scroll down and find A-PC GamePad, if it is not checked, check it.
3. Then hit the settings button on the right to open the settings app.
4. Click on Server Address to set the IP address to your PC's local IP address (ex. 192.168.1.100).
5. Click on Switch Input Method, make sure APCGamePad is selected.
6. Click on Connect to Server!

If you want to see if it is working, run joy.cpl. Click on one of the vJoy Devices, usually the top one. Then click Properties, you should see the device move when you move the gamepad.

Notes for Nvidia Shield Portable:
For console mode you can use a 2nd controller as Controller#1 by turning off Controller 1 in the app. This will move all controllers down 1 (i.e controller 2 will become controller 1, 3 will become 2 etc.)

Select is mapped to the volume key. Any other controller, select will be select or back.

It may be necessary to open UDP port 4444 on your router if you are accessing your PC away from a local (home) network.

Windows firewall may block the connection so adding an exception should allow the apps to connect.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
