u can :p on the ps3,
|
You can on the Wii too... amazing how things that have USB support can use USB keyboards as well as other inputs since its all about software that uses it lol
|
well on the ps3 it's on the SKU, UT3 implemented it with easy, 360 have also usb ports but there is not support in them to use on developers, actually it's locked to microsoft licensed accesories only, third party it's banned from using it without microsoft approval.
not sure about nintendo, never found anything related nintendo, alsonever heard of them having engines for third parties, other than the wiimote SKU. if any
from what i read keyboards are supported, but mouse isn't,
|
Uh... do you know what the hell you're saying? Like really? You can use any old USB Keyboard on any of the systems... anyone can take advantage of that if they program it into the game.
Anyway... for third parties and use of USB Keyboard

This is all...

KEYBOARD, not mouse, keyboard was implemented in 3.1
|
Yeah, into firmware, the program the Wii runs off of, you could still use it in a game if you wanted to prior to that, what I'm trying to say is software controls input not the system itself, so if you wanted to program in the input device you can use it. Hell if you can make USB drums, mics, etc work on a console how is making a USB mouse + keyboard any different, its not you just have to program for it, anyway this really wasn't even the original topic lol I was just trying to inform you everything and anything with a USB port can make use of USB inputs as long as they program it lol
|
u can do anything if you program it, seriously u can make n900 work a DS3 controller. >_> that's not the point.
my point would be easier on ps3 because it's already implemented into the SKU :p
|
How? You still have to program it? It's not magically there in each and every game or more FPS games other than Unreal 3 would use it. It's just like you have to program for analog shoulder buttons, have to program for motion controls, you have to do all this for each and every game unless you have you have the programming done from a previous title...
