How it works

Here's the goal of this application. The PS3, the PS4 and the WIIU dongles needs a poking message that enables it. When the dongles doesn't receive the poke, it will not send the status of more than one button at a time. Which is unfortunate, since you need to press the fret button and the strum bar simultaneously. GHLPokeMachine pokes the dongle to enable the multi touch. Once started, when you press start, the program will pass through all your connected device and for each dongle that it see, will start a thread that will poke your dongle. If there's a connection problem or the stop button is being pressed, the thread will stop.
