Does not compile on linux, upgrade to .NET 5.0?

With this application you can generate a "hacked" Dinput.dll that you only have to copy to the directory where you have your game EXE, and it will change your keyboard controls.

Does not compile on linux, upgrade to .NET 5.0? #1

Hiya!

I'm a linux user, after finding this application thru some old forums, I decided to try running it in wine, to no avail.

I tried building the repo manually, but stumbled into something. This project uses .NET framework 4.5. This version is not available on linux and apparently the tools to port it are windows only :(

Hence I wanted to ask, could this be updated to .NET Core 5.0 or higher? If any additional work is necessary I'm willing to put in some elbow grease! Many thanks!

Hi. Thanks for your interest in this tool. This project is really old, from my university times and I remember my solution was a little tricky, but quite effective, and my tool was widely used. Since there were not many alternative tools for remapping keys, this weekend I was experimenting with a different cleaner approach for the hack that also works. It may be a solution for the problems you are having on Linux, but if not, just tell me and I can investigate porting the classic version to .NET 5.0
