Abstract: Computer system to facilitate video gaming comprising a processing unit and a computer readable medium coupled to the processing unit comprising instructions executable by the processing unit. Instructions are for a video game to process first input triggered by operation of multiple input devices. Instructions are for input adaptation module to facilitate playing the same video game using an input device such as the game controller that is free from facility to provide the first input using the multiple input devices. The input adaptation module receives second input triggered by operation of the input device such as the game controller used to navigate the game. It generates the first input from the second input, based at least upon a translation mapping between input events receivable from the input device such as the game controller and input events receivable from the multiple input devices. Associated method is also provided.

Abstract: Video gaming over television has been popular. Such video gaming is typically facilitated using a “game console” connected to the television display. The game console is typically a computer system that executes the game software and produces audio and video signal for the display device such as the television. The video game player typically uses a device called “game controller” or gamepad that is connected to the game console to navigate the game and the game menus. The game console also often includes facility for connection to a computer network such as the Internet. Video gaming systems such as Xbox provided by Microsoft Corporation and PlayStation provided by Sony Corporation have been popular. Some game consoles such as Wii provided by Nintendo also offer the ability to play games using motion input.

The input adaptation module receives second input events triggered by operation of the second input device used to navigate the game. It generates the first input events from the second input events, based at least upon the game-specific translation mapping between input events receivable from the second input device and input events receivable from the first input devices.
