Rpcs3: Feature: Support for DirectInput Controllers (Such as Dualshock 4 controllers without an XInput Wrapper)

[ghost]

Seeing Support for DirectInput Controllers would be a great idea to be implemented into the emulator for people who don't own an Xbox or XInput-based controller, or don't want to fiddle around with third party drivers like InputMapper or DS4Windows when Steam has built in support for DS4s without needing to install any third party drivers.

Another suggestion would to have some sort of keyboard and/or controller option where you can map certain keys, buttons, or even the DS4's gyroscope to the PS3 Controller's Gyroscope.

I do not believe this is a priority for them but I think this would make testing much easier.

Oh, this may be coming sooner than you think

[georgemoralis]

it's on works and coming shortly :)

For anybody who wants to use a Dualshock 4 controller with RPCS3, here's a config file that will give you proper controller mapping for DS4 controllers.

This is config is designed for when using the official adapter that Sony released, and I have no clue if it works properly when connected to USB or through Bluetooth. If you find any problems, make sure to PM me, and i'll figure out any problems you may have.

OP use-case should be indeed covered by that, but I'm not sure to have seen the lack of DirectInput being addressed there.

This page is the first result on Google for "RPCS3 DualShock 4", so I just want to confirm that the configuration from @Bryceless works with the Sony adapter, USB, and Bluetooth. Download the zip and extract the config_mmjoystick.yml file into the RPCS3 folder.

This information will be outdated when #2733 or similar is merged. Limitations of the "MMJoystick" implementation described here are lack of rumble, gyroscope, and accelerometer. Pressure sensitive buttons are absent on the DualShock 4.

After seeing how #2733's proceeding, I'm really wondering if there couldn't be some spare rpcs3 dev (:s) to help with https://github.com/nefarius/FireShock/issues/5
Seriously, anything default from both microsoft and/or sony seems to be somehow someway shortcome.

How would I go about making my Steam Controller work with RPCS3? I've read that RPCS3 now uses evdev but I have no idea how to actually get it working.

[Needled]

@C0rn3j That's pretty easy, you register RPCS3 as a "Non-steam game" through steam and then open it from there. Steam controller naturally works for all applications since it binds its keys to whatever keyboard keys you want. But you will have to configure either your steam controller inputs or the RPCS3 controller configuration to match each other.

[C0rn3j]

I'm aware that Steam has this capability, and so does sc-controller, which is open source. My point is that I don't want to configure each key, I'd just like plug and play. Even if I'll have to emulate X360 controller somehow.

Should've made that clearer, sorry.

EDIT: here's my sc-controller profile for those who are too lazy to set it up - https://pastebin.com/raw/cn2Q3dHz

[C0rn3j]

For those with Steam Controllers - there is a PR that fixes them on Linux with sc-controller.

Hello, I am currently using InputMapper to connect my DS4 controller (coupled with the offical sony dongle). I can't seem to get RPCS3 to recognize input, I tried all the handlers in the pad options. Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

@fredistehboss This isn't the place to ask for support, join the RPCS3 discord channel here: https://discord.me/RPCS3

ds4 cuh-zct2g model v2 windows 10 native driver plugged via usb now works correctly on rpcs3 rpcs3-v0.0.5-6639-90e0bade_win64

[mirh]

Rpcs3 should support sony official DS3 driver, first of all.

[Megamouse]

I showed this to Jarves a while ago. But there are other things to finish up first before we can add new stuff

[dio-gh]

Shouldn't this issue ticket get closed? The original issue, as I read it, had been resolved long ago, and there has been no updates to the original post either.

[ghost]

Oh yeah, sorry about that. I never got around to closing this issue.
