About this guide for install Input Bridge

This is a simplified guide for installing InputBridge on Android and ExaGear. More information can be found in the application itself.

Install APK

Supported in ExaGear Windows Emulator. On other versions (RPG/Strategies) performance has not been tested. Some modified .obb have ExaGear InputBridge installed. Below is an instruction if it is not integrated into the .obb ExaGear you are using. First you need to download apk latest version of the application(0.0.7) and install it. Allow access on top of all applications. Go to the app, create a profile.

Installing InputBridge in ExaGear

Go to the fifth item (indicated by an arrow), and click "Copy to root folder". The installer files will be copied to the Download folder.

Run in ExaGear and navigate to InputBridge->Installer folder. Run install.bat file, Input Bridge will be installed.

Launch

In the TFM.desktop shortcut file, you need to write the command to launch the Input Bridge: Exec = env ib WINEPREFIX="/home/xdroid/.wine" .... If there is no shortcut, create it (TFM is located in C:/Windows/system32). If you need to use the controller in ExaGear, go to the application in the third item (indicated by the joystick) and select the connected controller. Restart the container and you should see a gear at the top. This means that the Input Bridge is successfully installed and working.
