DS4Windows Mode User Guide

Jays2Kings' DS4Windows IS NOT SUPPORTED!

If you just search "DS4Windows" on Google/Bing/whatever the first issue will probably exist the obsolete Jays2Kings' version

In DS4Windows HID Device Mode, the controller appears as a custom device that can only exist detected by Ryochan7's DS4Windows, allowing the user to and then emulate a DualShock 4 or Xbox 360 (XInput) controller also as make use of virtually of its features.

What does work

• Xbox 360 (XInput) / DualShock 4 emulation according to the selected profile settings in DS4Windows
• Rumble works as normal
• DS4'due south Touchpad Button can be used by remapping a push to it (e.thou.: apply Select as the TP button instead of Share)
• DS3's LEDs can be controlled by setting the right Light Bar colors (more on that on a later section)
• DS4Windows'south Flash Lightbar at High Latency function makes the LEDs flash appropriately
• Basically every other DS4Windows function that is not related to the Light Bar or motion works as intended

What does not work

• DS3 controllers are always recognized as if they were connected by USB. Equally such, DS4Windows Bluetooth functions like automobile-disconnect on idle and disconnect on button combo are non supported. This is a limitation on DsHidMini side and can't be fixed past DS4Windows. The built-in equivalent functions of DsHidMini should be used instead
• Motion/UDP server is not supported and will remain then until someone manages to translate the motility info from the DS3 to the DS4 motion standard
• Settings that make the Light Bar colour flash, pulse or change randomly (rainbow mode) are not supported
• Specific DS4 touchpad movements are non supported, merely the Touchpad Button (some other push needs to be remapped to it)

Using the controller with DS4Windows

• To start, the controller must be in DS4Windows mode
• Download the latest Ryochan7's DS4Windows release package according to your Windows x version
• Extract the packet to an easily accessible folder
• Run DS4Windows.exe
• Install the ViGEmBus Driver if asked to

Afterward that, the controller should be properly recognized by DS4Windows. If it'south not, verify again if information technology is in "DS4Windows mode".

What now?

From here, DS4Windows tin can be used more often than not as usual. XInput and DS4 emulation, every bit well other functions, tin and so be fix-up in the profiles settings according to the user needs. Besides that:

• Keep in listen: Select and Outset buttons are recognized equally the Share and Options buttons in DS4Windows
  
• In instance you demand, there are more detailed instructions on how to alter to DS4 emulation
• If you want your controller'southward LEDs to represent the current battery level, meet Unproblematic Led Control -> Example ii
• If you want the current selected profile to be represented by a specific LED or LED combination on the controller, read the Lite Bar to LEDs translation section
• Information technology's recommended yous take a quick look at the DS4Windows Often Asked Questions department, read at least the title of the topics

Light Bar colour to LEDs translation

Optional section

Read this section if you desire to control your controller's LEDs to show the current bombardment or selected contour

By setting the correct Light Bar color values in the profile settings it is possible to control the LEDs on the DS3, which can exist useful to:

• Make the controller's LEDs represent the current battery level
• Represent the current selected profile as a specific LED
• Indicate the battery level by using Special Deportment in the contour's settings

Beware that functions in DS4Windows that make the Lite Bar wink, pulse or randomize the colors (rainbow manner) are not supported and can make the LEDs change to an undesired country, though the Flash Light Bar at High Latency function practice is supported and will brand the LEDs flash at a high frequency.

Simple LED control

• Simple to set-upwards
• Proficient to represent which profile is active (run across case 1)
• Necessary when making DS4Windows show the controller'southward battery level and for battery related Special Actions (see examples 2 and 3 respectively)

When this form of translation is agile, the Ruby-red color value will be translated to the LEDs state according to the following table:

RED value (Dec)	LED state
0 - 64	Blinking LED 1
65 - 94	LED 1
95 - 148	LED ii
149 - 201	LED 3
202 - 255	LED four

FORMS OF ACTIVATION:

Simple LED command mode	How to actuate	Clarification
Single mode	Green and Blue = 0	Only the chosen LED is ON
Filling Mode	Green = 0, Blue = 255	The called LED and the ones before information technology are ON

e.g. 1: Setting up a profile to exist represented as LED 3 but (single mode).

east.g. two: Setting up a profile to reflect the controller's bombardment level.

due east.thou. three: Setting up a Special Action to make the LEDs reflect the controller's battery level.

Complete LED control

• "Harder" to set-up (not really)
• Allows any combination of LEDs on
• Useful if the user wants to differentiate between more than than 4 profiles

HOW TO ACTIVATE: Light-green and Blue = 255

When this form of translation is active, the Blood-red color value from 0 to 15 will be translated to the LEDs country co-ordinate to the following tabular array:

LED four	LED 3	LED two	LED one	Carmine value (Dec)
				0
			ON	one
		ON		2
		ON	ON	3
	ON			four
	ON		ON	5
	ON	ON		6
	ON	ON	ON	seven
ON				viii
ON			ON	9
ON		ON		10
ON		ON	ON	eleven
ON	ON			12
ON	ON		ON	13
ON	ON	ON		14
ON	ON	ON	ON	15

e.g.: Setting up a profile to be represented as LEDs 4 and 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change between XInput and DS4 emulation?

The controller that DS4Windows emulates is dependent on the electric current selected profile. By default, the profile that comes with DS4Windows called... Default... is set to emulate a Xbox 360 controller. You can create new profiles with different settings to best fit your utilise case, though this department will focus solely on creating a profile with DS4 emulation:

• Get to the Profiles tab
• Click on the "New" push button to create a new contour
• When asked if a preset is to be used, cull "yes"
• Select Gamepad and then DualShock 4 at the Output Controller
• Accommodate the Light Bar color to what you desire acordingly to the Light Bar to LEDs translation section (in the example below the profile volition exist represented past LED ii)
• Requite a proper noun to your profile (e.g.: DS3 to DS4)
• Save the contour
• Back in the Controllers tab, click on the Selected profile box and change from default to the profile you just created
  

And done, now yous tin switch between XInput/DS4 emulation by changing between profiles.

Go on in mind that some games that back up DS4 controllers employ the Bear upon Pad for options/to open the map/etc. In this instance, you'll need to remap a push button as the Bear on Pad button on a new profile to use it.

Select button is not recognized in some games when emulating a DS4 / How exercise I use the Affect Pad button?

A DS3 controller has 13 buttons while a real DS4 controller has xiv, this actress button existence the Touch Pad button which tin't be mapped directly to the DS3 by DsHidMini.

Some games that support DS4 controllers apply the Touch Pad for options, opening the map, etc. To work around this, the user needs to remap an existing button to the TP one.

Unremarkably, games that use the TP button don't utilise the Share button (the default Select), and then the usual bet is to remap it to the TP, though whatsoever other one can exist called. And so, later creating a contour with DS4 emulation:

• Duplicate your DS4 profile, choose a dissimilar name to information technology
• Edit the new profile
• On the left side, in the DualShock 4 movie, click on the button you want to remap
• On the new window that appears, select the middle of the Touch Pad
• Save your contour and switch to it

If a game uses both the Share and TP buttons, y'all tin accept a contour with Share every bit information technology is and the PS button remapped to the TP. Or, if you want more advanced solutions, you can utilise special actions in the profile settings and so you tin can switch between unlike profiles by push combinations mid-game.

I can't control Steam's Big Flick when using a emulated DS4 / Steam doesn't notice my controller when it's emulated as a DS4, only when emulated as a Xbox 360

Steam (and some really specific games, super rare case) will fully ignore DS4 controllers if it detects that DS4Windows is running. This happens so users don't accidentally take both DS4Windows and Steam remapping the controller. Regardless if Steam is detecting or non the emulated DS4, 99.nine% of the games that support DS4 controllers should find the emulated i as normal.

For Steam to stop ignoring the emulated DS4 controller you need run DS4Windows under a custom .exe name:

• Open up DS4Windows
• Go into the Settings Tab
• Write the name you want on the Custom exe name box (In the image below the name "DS4Win" is used as an case)
• Afterward the name is set, fully shut then re-open up DS4Windows and then Steam should detect it as normal
  

Information technology's also recommended going into the Steam's settings -> Controller -> General Controller Configurations -> Leave Playstation Configuration Supported UNCHECKED, so Steam doesn't remap your controller again when y'all don't want it to.

'10' game does not detect my emulated DS4 / my game is not showing PS push icons

• First, double check if the game actually supports DS4 controllers and has native PS icons when played with a DualShock 4. There is no directly mode to bank check this also just testing, Googling around and looking at forums
• If the game does not support DualShock four/PS icons and so that'south in no fashion related to us and we can't practise anything most information technology
• If you lot are 100% sure the game supports PS button icons/DualShock 4, and so it may be detecting that DS4Windows is running and then ignoring DS4 controllers (super rare case, only 1 game is known to do it). Check the topic above on how to solve this
• If the game still doesn't recognize the emulated DualShock 4 then we have no idea what's going on and you are welcome on reaching us through the proper means

How do I do 'X' thing on DS4Windows

DS4Windows is a really amazing tool that can do lots of things, but the purpose of this guide isn't covering DS4Windows in itself, it's to give users the minimum necessary to have XInput/DS4 emulation and to cover DsHidMini related functions, like Light Bar color to LEDs translation. Because the other things it tin do are not related to DsHidMini and so it's recommended that yous look in its wiki or google around for online tutorials.
