How to play Hydroneer Multiplayer over Steam remote with 2 keyboards (without controller)

[Hanso Slow]

I spent some hours looking for a way to emulate a xbox controller with mouse&keyboard since for some odd reason on steam remote play only the host can use a keyboard while the others need to use controllers/gamepads.
I finnaly found a single working program (and it works all the way) for this.
Its called UCR (Universal Controller Remapper, it needs to be the old version):
http://evilc.com/files/ahk/ucr/UCR.zip
(https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=12249)
Also you need to install vJoy first since it emulates the controller framework which the UCR is mapping the keys to:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/

Finally I created the fill config data/file which maps the keyboard/mouse to the virtual controller exactly like in normal Hydroneer:

Now in total you have to do the following steps:
1. download and install vjoy
2. download and install UCR(old version from website, the new version dosent have the mouse support)
3. start UCR and go to >IOClasses>vJoy>Install SCPVBus to install the SCPVBus
4. close UCR and then place my config file in the UCR folder
5. open UCR and your done (program needs to be open/minimized for it to run, thats all)
6. open USB Game controller configs in windows to see if it works
7. the one connecting to the host in hydroneer runs this programm so hydroneer thinks his keyboard/mouse inputs are controller inputs
8. have fun

you dont need a real controller for this since it gerenates a virtual controller.
Also btw. for some reason the host needs to have a controller connected as well even if he dosent use it, because steam remote play wont work otherwise and the other player wont be able to control the 2nd screen. This controller from the host can also be a virtual one I found out.
And finally follow the remote play instuction steps in hydroneer itself, since you need to swap controller 1 and 2 in steam remote play. If it dosnt work at first restart remote play it it should work.

Happy controller free gaming with 2 keyboards

The link you sent for UCR doesen't work, tried to use it with the new version of UCR, but I failed to get the mouse to work, even though it says it supports it.
