WraithTDK Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I got a couple Dual Shock 4 controllers to use when emulating Playstation games. Unfortunately, Retroarch won't work with with them connected wirelessly unless you run a program called DS4W, which translates makes the DS4 appear to be an XBox controller. It's easy enough to add DS4W as an additional app and check the "run before main application" box, but that'll be a huge pain if I have to do it for twelve hundred games. Anyway to do this for the whole platform? Edited November 13, 2021 by WraithTDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparently a widely-discussed issue. It will do so if you connect via a micro-usb cable, but not wirelessly. I found a ton of Reddit threads about it, and everyone who attempted to fix just gave up and went with DS4W. Supposedly this was one of the major issues that inspired its creation.
