USBqemu Buzz mod

[NHervé]

Hi,

Everybody's seen that Buzz was not playable because of the lack of USB plugin.
Not anymore now, big thanks to Sir GiGaHeRz for releasing the sources of his great USBqemu plugin for keyboard. I've modded this plugin especially for supporting the buzzers that Buzz uses.

Now, I'll tell you how to use this plugin mod :

Config :
This plugin mod is designed for everybody, even the n00bs. Everything is automatic, you don't have to configure anything so don't care about the config window.

Usage :
Download the plugin mod in the attachments.
Plug your buzzers into any USB port of your PC (don't expect using your keyboard, it's done in order to avoid piracy).
Launch PCSX2. The console should say "Buzzers found !!!" and each buzzer lamp should be tested. If not, tell me.
Launch the game. Everything is automatic, buttons and lamps should work fine, I tested myself.
Note : when you close PCSX2, the lamps of the buzzers may keep switched on. Replug your buzzers if you don't want that.

What plugins I recommend you to use with this game:
GS : Use ZeroGS DirectX version. Other plugins render broken.
SPU2 : Use Peops SPU2, else the sound will be repeated due to PCSX2 being slow (for me).
Pad : Use any plugin. Anyway you won't use your pad in this game.
CDVD : Dump an ISO of your game and use a ISO plugin, else DVD access will slow down the game.
USB : Use this plugin mod
Dev9 and FireWire : don't mind.

Encountered problems :
Corrupt or missing textures (minor).
Game slow on my C2D E6300 computer (15-30 FPS).

What I modded :
First I changed the VID and PID in the keyboard device descriptor. By doing this I got the game to boot.
After I added support for output reports, used for switching the lamps on/off.
I rewritten the usb_keyboard_poll func for the buzzers.
And I added a detection loop to acquire handle to the buzzers, and a Win32-only I/O system (ReadFile/WriteFile).

Download the plugin mod in the attachments below and enjoy playing Buzz on PCSX2 !!!

Oh, and I forgot : PCSX2 Team, don't forget to update your compatibility list !

PS : If you encounter problems with lamps, re-download the plugin. Before releasing, I changed a thing and I didn't test, so I didn't see I broke the lamps. I re-attached a new plugin that fixes it.

very cool
i don't have the game though, so i can't test it out

Only 6 downloads and this thread isn't even sticky, and the PCSX2 compat list hasn't even been updated...
I think people would prefer a plugin for Eyetoy.

Well you can't expect many people to have this game and even discover this plugin to play it
I would sticky it but there are just too many stickies...anyway up it goes.
About the compatibility list,the tester who has the game must show up and retest it,so that might get delayed alot
