DroidTick (English)
DroidTick is an Android app designed to transform your phone into a gamepad for games and emulators (Zsnes, Mame…) or a remote controller for video and music players (Winamp, VLC, Smplayer).
In this moment it is only available for Window and Linux, but MacOs version is in development
Droidtick allows you to simulate keyboard keys (A, B, Alt, Control, Enter…), multimedia keys (Play, Stop, Volume…) and up to four virtual joysticks, which will offer you a better gaming experience. You can create as many configurations as you need and connect different terminals, each one with a different configuration, allowing many players simultaneously.
Thanks to smartphone’s touch screen, Droidtick can create skins with any design and number of buttons, even using the accelerometer as a WiiMote or similar, being really useful for flight simulators and racing games.
Setup
Download Android APP:
Download the server, depending on your operative system. If you are using Windows, optionally, if you want support for virtual joystick must download PPJoy.
Windows (mirror) and PPJoy (mirror)
The Linux’s users need QT library:
- ArchLinux pacman -S qt
- Debian / Ubuntu apt-get install libqt4-xml libqt4-network libqtgui4
- RedHat / Fedora yum install qt
- OpenSuse zypper install libqt4
- Gentoo emerge qt-core qt-gui
Once downloaded, put it in the directory you want to use and open it.
If we get an error saying that virtual devices are not available and we want to use them, follow the instructions in the next videos (OPTIONAL):
Windows
Linux
Once the server is configured, open it and it will show your IP address:
This will be the IP address we have to introduce in our Android app, in Settings:
Both devices have to be in the same local network, so it is recommendable that your Android device is connected to WiFi.
Choose the skin you want to use and it will show you the configurations available, choose one and you can already start to play.
If you want to add new configurations go to server, press the skin you wish and press Add.
Once you click Close, configuration will be available.
Any doubt or suggest you can left a comment in this page.

My droidtick start acting weird today. It is doubling evey command. So, if I press 5 it makes 55, if I make click, it makes click click. Any ideas?
Ummm… Try delete the config (droidtick.xml)
Didn’t work. Unisntall and reinstall everything. Still nothing.
The only «different» thing I remember doing today was updating the java console. Could this be related to my droidtick problem?
What server edition you uses? Windows, Linux 32 or Linux 64?
Windows 7. 64
The new server don’t use Java… Tomorrow test the windows version in w7… But i didn’t change nothing…
The new update solve the problem.
Thanks for notice 😉
Good. Solved.
Now I noticed another funny thing. I’m using the commands + – / and *.
When I press and hold + or * it makes a single input on the pc, witch is ok.
When I press and hold / it makes a series of inputs (/////) until I release the button, witch is ok too, but is a different behavior than the previous one.
And when I press – (minus) it does nothing. This command doesn’t seem to work.
The minus button fixed. The /… I not undertant because don’t work correctly…
I will release new update the friday. If you find new bugs, notice me.
Hello, I installed it and follow all instructions and the pad works on my files as a mouse. But the pad doesn’t work on nes emulator and games. I’ve already check on nes option controller. But it doesn’t work.
You need configure the Nes emulator to use Nes Pad. Search «input config» in your Nes Emulator a mapped the keys.
What Nes Emulator and OS use you?
Does this app connect to a computer by bluetooth or usb?
Actually no. I working in USB support
i like this app.. very usefull, its posible to change the skin.. ??
¿?
Droidtick has five skins, and we will add news skins in nexts versions.
can we add our custom skins?? its cool if its possible.. 🙂 good work man..
Sorry, not possible to add skins. Each skin requires specific information on both the server and the Android.
its ok.. but can you help us to make our skin plug in to droidtick with donation upcourse 🙂
Um … I’m thinking and I think that if I could add a system skins.
The system would have limitations, buttons of a certain size and should make a file with the position of each button. But you could do … Give me six weeks, we are now in the university exams.
i just need erase the text «nintendo» or «supernintendo» in the skins.. 🙂 i think is easy for you right? you dont need to add system skins.. just erase that.. and send me the app withaout the text.. the other is same.. button etc
Ems…? Why? You need the app for specific use?
only eliminates the nintendo logo 🙂
yes.. its for my gath event.. and nintendo is not our sponsor hehe..
can we talk in email?? my email is galeryluky@yahoo.com

The download for windows is broke. It says «temporarily» unavailable. It has been broke for days. This looks like a good application but it’s useless without being able to download the needed files.
I added a mirror. Try now
Can you add PPSSPP for this?
You can add your customs configurations
windows mirror (@box.com) is not there. file is missing.
