[Sebio1980]

hello, i have the same issue.
What operating system? Linux kernel 6.6.8
What nodeJS version? 21.5.0 and Python version 3.11.6
What exactly did you do? see the log before
What exact error(s) did you get? see the log before

thanks for help

[Enigma1309]

same here, using arch linux

[InterVi]

fix by nodeenv:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install nodeenv
nodeenv --node=18.20.4 .18
. .18/bin/activate

so, this work with node 18.20.4

[alr86]

You can create a bash file(like run.sh) inside the cloned folder and insert one of the below codes on it: (Ensure that you have executed the above commands provided by InterVi at least once)

• Simple version:

#!/bin/bash

# Go to older node version
nodeenv --node=18.20.4 .18
. .18/bin/activate

# Run virtual gamepad server
sudo node ~/Applications/node-virtual-gamepads/main.js

• Advanced version:

#!/bin/bash

# Go to older node version
nodeenv --node=18.20.4 .18
. .18/bin/activate

# Get IP of wlan0 device
IP_ADDRESS=$(ip addr show dev wlan0 | grep -Po 'inet \K[\d.]+')

# Clear terminal
clear

# IP exist or not
if [ -z "$IP_ADDRESS" ]; then
	echo "IP address is not detected!"
	read -p "Please enter the IP address: " IP_ADDRESS
fi

# Show server qr-code
qrencode -t ansiutf8 "http://$IP_ADDRESS:80"

# Divider between qr-code and node server messages
echo "-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-"

# Run virtual gamepad server
sudo node ~/Applications/node-virtual-gamepads/main.js

[alr86]

Update: You can use alr86/Node-Virtual-Gamepads-Revived that works well with one click and have new features

It takes approximately 600MB in size because NodeJS v18 already downloaded

It doesn't work, it needs forever monitor and the same errors appear, even after nodeenv and activation and whatever
