🎮 Multiple Configurations / GlosSI like usage

For users familiar with GloSC/GlosSI

If you are used to GloSC/GlosSI, you may know that GlosSI "required" you to create a Steam shortcut to it for each game/application you wanted to use it with.

SISR is not exactly designed like this, but it can be used in a similar manner.

No Game Launching

Unlike GloSC/GlosSI, SISR does not launch games for you!

Aside from launching SISR as a tray application you can also launch SISR from Steam directly.
This enables you to have per Game/Application Steam Input configurations as well as access to Touch/Radial menus and other Steam overlay features.

Read general usage as well

I would like to encourage you to read the General usage guide as well, even if you don't plan to use SISR as a tray application, replacing Steams Desktop configuration.

The general usage guide also contains useful information and tips about SISR in general.

Marker shortcut

You should not re-use the "SISR Marker" shortcut or add the --marker launch option here!

Multiple Configurations

You can add SISR multiple times as non-Steam game to have multiple different Steam Input configurations available!

  • 1. Add SISR as a non-Steam game in your Steam library

    Provide the following flags as launch options

    • -w -f
      show-window, fullscreen
      If you want to use touch- and radial-menus, also add: --wcd true

    You can rename the shortcut to something meaningful, like "SISR - Game XYZ" and set any custom icon and images as you see fit


  • 2. Connect all controllers you want to use

  • 3. Launch the newly created shortcut from Steam

    This will start SISR and create a combined SISR/Steam overlay and create emulated controllers


  • 4. Launch any game or application

    Games/application should be launched outside of Steam in most cases
    There are two main exceptions to this:
    1. If the game/application does NOT accept the Steam Overlay / Steam Input at all Like but not limited to Windows Store games/apps
    2. Games with native Playstation controller support if
      • You've set SISR to emulate Playstation controllers instead of Xbox360 controllers
      • and You set Playstation Controller support in Steam settings to Enabled in Games w/o Support or Disabled

SISR overlay

If you want to exit SISR or change settings while in-game, you can toggle the SISR overlay by using the keyboard-shortcut or controller-chord
(CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+S, LB+RB+BACK+A "A" button needs to be pressed last)

Touch/Radial menus

By default, SISR will not draw continuously, which prevents touch/radial menus from showing up
To make touch/radial menus show up, you can add the --wcd true launch option to enable continuous drawing

This can also circumvent issues with the Steam overlay not showing up correctly.

Do note that this may increase CPU/GPU usage and can potentially negatively affect gaming performance on lower end systems

Playstation Controller emulation

If you want SISR to emulate a Playstation controller instead of the default Xbox360 controller, to circumvent compatibility issues with for example Sony games, you can add the launch option: --default-controller-type dualshock4

You can also set this permanently in a config file or via environment variable
