DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to get the best DualShock 4 experience on your PC. By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible.

- (Optional)Bluetooth 2.1+, via adapter or built in pc [(My recommendation)](https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166126) (Toshiba's bluetooth & Bluetooth adapters using CSR currently does not work)
## Device Detection Issue
If your DS4 is not detected by DS4Windows and the lightbar continues to
flash yellow, there is a chance that Exclusive Mode has permanently
disabled your DS4 in Windows. The easiest way to test if this has happened is
for you to plug in the controller into a different USB port and see if it
works then. Although this problem mainly affected versions of
DS4Windows prior to 1.4.109 when using some applications, other mapping
programs can cause the same problem to occur.
If you suspect that your DS4 has been disabled, open the Device Manager
(Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Device Manager) and look for devices listed
under the path "Human Interface Devices\HID-compliant game controller".
