How to make PS4 Dual Shock controller more 'sensitive'

[MrSlippery]

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried searching around but couldn't find anything.

I have a Sony PS4 Dual Shock controller, and when trying to play a particular PSP game, the cardinal directions (that is, up, down, left, and right) all move the character 'quickly,' but when I go, North-east, for instance, he walks as if I am not holding the direction 'hard' enough.

When I use the d-pad to move diagonally, though, the character runs (like how it should). I looked, but I do not see anything that lets me change the sensitivity, if that is the proper word, if the left analog stick.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

have a coworker accuse it of sexual assault and force them to attend sensitivity training after writing a 500 word minimum apology.....problem solved!🤣

 

for real though, I think there is a fix if you're on Retroarch (sorry I don't have any suggestion for standalone PPSSPP - an equivalent may exist, I just don't know what it is). You could make use of an analog stick to digital option....it's called "analog to digital type" and you would want to select Left Analog for the value. It makes the analog stick act like the d-pad while still letting the d-pad work as normal too. So if you like how the d-pad performs and want the analog stick to perform the same, that is the adjustment I would go for!

Thanks, skizz!

I tried to 'analog to digital type,' but it didn't seem to work for me (or maybe I checked a different option that sounded similar). 

Anyway, in the control-configuration menu, I just manually switched the the d-pad and the left-analog stick controls and it is working now.

I'll also get it working on that apology right away. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior in the workplace, despite the word 'joystick' being ripe for double entendre.
