The goal of this project is to provide compact embedded systems with Game Input MultipleXer preinstalled. Currently supported platforms: Orangepi Zero, Raspberry Pi 0-3, x86. GIMX is an open source solution that allows using alternative input methods on most of modern gaming consoles like PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360. Beside the software it requires to assemble DIY adapter from off the shelf parts to emulate original controllers and translate the input from serial port. Little or even no soldering required. With minimal knowledge one can build an advanced standalone alternative to comercial input mulitplexers for approximately 30$ at home. Complied GIMX binares can be found here: https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Installation Project source code is availabe in Matlo's GitHub: https://github.com/matlo/GIMX
