What is a GPC file?

A GPC file is a script written in the Gamepad Programming Code (GPC) language, which extends the capabilities of a gaming controller via an adapter. It stores plain text in the GPC syntax (based on the C programming language) that customizes input behavior, remaps buttons, configures macros, or adds advanced features like rapid-fire or anti-recoil. Users compile and execute GPC scripts on compatible controller adapters to modify the controller's capabilities.

Users can create GPC files and compile them with Zen Studio or GTuner IV IDEs. Once compiled without errors, they add their script to a compatible gaming controller adapter, such as a Cronus Zen or Titan 2 device, and connect it to their controller, such as a PlayStation or Xbox controller, via Bluetooth or a port. The gaming controller adapter acts as a bridge, translating the input signals (defined in the GPC script) from the controller into a format that the connected system (e.g., a gaming console or computer) understands.

NOTE: The CronusMAX and Titan device teams developed the GPC language specifically for use with their gaming controller adapters and software platforms. These teams are part of Collective Minds, a company specializing in gaming peripherals and customization tools.

How to open a GPC file

You can open GPC files with Collective Minds Zen Studio and ConsoleTuner GTuner IV. For example, you can open a GPC file with Zen Studio by selecting File → Open.

Since GPC files store plain text, you can also open them with a source code editor or simple text editor. However, these options do not provide the same editing and compiling features as Zen Studio and GTuner IV.
