Checklist

I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

You should add a feature to somehow connect a "dummy" psmove, or make games think it is connected

Reason

It will make a lot of games get in-game at least, to make further testing in them possible

Examples

RPCS3 has this feature I believe, on it you can move the psmove with the mouse if i remember correctly (I might be wrong)
doesn't need to actually work for now though, it just needs to make the game think a psmove is connected

Ok but without a real implementation, you cannot play the game, right ?

No, but it can be used for testing for now, until it gets an actual full implementation
