If you have a unsupported copy-cat feel free to reach us and kindly ask for it to be added to DS4Windows code while providing the maximum amount of information on it. DS4W detects controller by their Vendor and Product Identification (VID/PID), meaning that if a controller’s VID/PID is not already on DS4W code then it will just be ignored.Īdding support to new copy-cats may be as easy as just adding their VID/PID to the code or as hard as making major changes to the internal structures of DS4Windows. DS4Windows is an open-source gamepad input mapper and virtual emulator designed to use and connect your PlayStation controller (DualShock 3/4 and DualSense 5) to a Windows 10 & 11 PC. Neither through a connected USB cable or Bluetooth. The default type of the virtual output gamepad device is xbox360 controller, because most games on Windows support this xinput device. I cannot get my DS4 Controller working with DS4Windows and FH5. Profile can set the type of virtual output device using 'Controller' option. Works perfect now on both Wired or Bluetooth mode. Then simply select it in the Selcted Profile section of the CONTROLLERS tab. DS4Windows -> Settings Tab -> Check Hide DS4 Controller. Once you install DS4WINDOWS and download the XML file, go to the PROFILE tab in DS4WINDOWS, select IMPORT, and then find the XML file where you downloaded it and import it. For example, 8bitdo controllers that are compatible with Nitendo’s Switch usually present themselves as a replica of the Pro Controller and can be used as normal with DS4Windows.įor cases where the gamepad presents itself differently than the official one to the system (most DS4 replicas) then DS4Windows will not recognize them. SOLUTION: Found the solution on another post. Fallout 4 seems to offer native support for the PlayStation 4’s.
Step two: Go down to the option that says 'Use Xinput ports' now change that too something else. If a gamepad is made to be a complete replica of a official one, meaning that they act exactly as the original controller and appear to Windows as such, then chances are DS4Windows will just detect it as being the official controller and it may just work. Setting up the DualShock 4 controller to play Fallout 4 on the PC can be a nightmare. Step one: go to settings and click that 'Hide DS4 Controller' check box at the top.
