Lenovo Legion Go - PS Remote play track pad mapping using reWASD plus full screen play tip

a couple of days ago I did a video on how to download the PS remote play software and follow the instructions on the download page to install PS remote play on your PlayStation 5 and um details of software called re wasda um which allows you to map the Lenovo Legion go controller as if it was a PlayStation 5 controller which allows you to sort of play on the console itself not with a a a a real PlayStation 5 controller connected via USBC much better way of playing it one other problems I encountered was that the touchpad on a PlayStation 5 um wasn't mapped in Rew wased um and I was playing the last of us and it came to a point where I was meant to open up my bag and that was mapped to touchpad click and I couldn't do it um I was playing the game returnal and there's a point there where you have to press um your you know click the touch pad to open something and I couldn't do it so I was looking for how to do that in Rew was and finally found a way of doing that but I should say that it's only available in the licensed version of Rew was um which isn't expensive it's € plus sales tax um and it's really easy to do but you know if you don't want to pay if you don't want to pay that and you have a dual sense controller just plug it in via USB uh and you'll be good to go um so the other thing I want to show um if I start up oh sorry the the other thing I wanted to show was um when we start up PS remote play on this device um it it starts in a window um which is fine but we'll generally want to play in full screen now because of the L lenovo's 1610 ratio screen what was happening was when you maximized um the page in fact if I do it now maybe it'll show yes if if you see just up at the top here it sort of mirrors a uh the pixels at the top there and what you know it stays there that bit static and when you're moving into into white white scenes with snow and and everything you can still see that so I looked at two solutions for this one was a custom resolution um of 1080p but because the screen's actually a 1610 it kind of stretched the image up a little bit and didn't look that good you probably could have got used to it but then um sneaky side of my brain thought of a really simple solution and I'll basically it relies on games on uh the PlayStation 5 in indeed games in general when you start them tend to have like the the developers sort of logos on a black screen or you know or perhaps it's the N uh NVIDIA drivers and it has the Nvidia logo and a black screen so if you wait um so if you bring it back down out of window mode you click on play game no you don't click on it because it's on your PlayStation 5 so you use your controllers and you trigger the play game that's if you're smart not like me ah so before so it's going to change to a black screen and the second it does boom I'm going to full screen it so that just means we've got permanent black pixels at that top Edge so doesn't get in the G way of the game at all now I'm not going to show game playay because I did try this earlier this is about the fourth attempt and my network is is playing up and I put it on to 5G and that wasn't running smoothly the second I go to make a video we go to to do a demo things break it's just the way things are I guess we've got the sound okay so we're in the game um what I did in REI is I mapped this down arrow to the touchpad click so if if I was playing this on controller and I press the touchpad it would pop up this journal um I think it might open a bag if you're out and about so just to prove that that works I press the button and it does the journal so if I close that again what I'll do is um I'll show you in Rew no I'll show you in Rew was how I change that so this is the button that I mapped it to so all you do is you click on the button you want to remap Now by default these are all sort of highlighted but to make it easy uh you know you would if if it was like that you would have pages and pages of possible options to choose from you there it's like I've got the keyboard number zero you know so so to make it easier to find the one that you actually want I would just deselect these and we know we want some action that's on the PlayStation controller itself so we've now got a much shorter list um and you know here the ones that have this sort of sorry my fat fingers are not cooperating wow there we go so the ones that have that sort of square effect around them relate to the trackpad so um and also I guess swipe up swipe down swipe left swipe right um left tap right tap Center tap um I imagine it would be difficult to map all these onto the cons console buttons and still have proper functionality but most games I've been playing all we really want is the click so to prove that you know if I change this it'll be fine if I go up I'll I'll change this mapping now to the options button I then would save the change and then I would apply to slot one okay so that's now gone up I guess been uploaded and if I go back to the game and if I press that down arrow again it should now pop up the options screen so that's how you remap and I'll just put it back um and just prove that putting it back so boom and we want we want click click once again save apply to slot and if I go back into the game we have the journal again so I think that's all I wanted to show you um it's it's down to you I guess if you if you think it's worth um €7 plus tax to be able to do that I think uh it would I I I paid for it obviously I think it's worth it because just not having to carry around a PlayStation 5 controller when you're out and about as well as everything else just makes it worth it for me um I would say if it started getting to a game where it used a lot of trackpad functionality like swipe left swipe Right light right click in the top left top you know top right bottom left I would probably take a controller then try and come up with a mapping um anyway I've gone on long enough thank you for watching
