# DS4Windows
|
|
|
|
Like those other ds4tools, but sexier.
|
|
|
|
DS4Windows is an extract anywhere 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.
|
|
|
|
This project is a fork of the work of Jays2Kings. You can find the old project
|
|
website at [ds4windows.com](http://ds4windows.com).

## 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 older versions of
|
|
DS4Windows (text written after version 1.5.15) for various reasons,
|
|
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".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the icon shown for a device has a down arrow icon then you should
|
|
check the device's device instance path and see if the device is a
|
|
DualShock 4 device. Right click the device item and select "Enable device"
|
|
from the menu. That will re-enable the device and be seen by applications
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
## Disable Steam Controller Mapping Support
|
|
|
|
With recent updates to the Steam client at the time writing this (2018-12-13),
|
|
Steam has enabled Xbox Configuration Support in the Steam client by default.
|
|
What this means is that Steam will automatically map a detected Xbox 360
|
|
controller to KB+M bindings initially (Desktop Mode) before launching Steam
|
|
Big Picture Mode or launching a game. This presents a problem for DS4Windows
|
|
since the created virtual Xbox 360 controller will be mapped to KB+M actions
|
|
for desktop mode and games launched outside of the Steam client. In order to
|
|
use DS4Windows properly, you have to open Steam Big Picture Mode, navigate to
|
|
Settings > Controller> Controller Settings and uncheck **Xbox Configuration
|
|
Support** along with **PlayStation Configuration Support**.
|

|
## Personal Game Testing
|
|
|
|
My PC game library is not that expansive so there are likely games
|
|
that will be tested by users that I will not have access to
|
|
playing. There are likely going to be times when I cannot directly test
|
|
against a game since I will not have access to play it. Most free to play
|
|
games or games that include a playable demo should be fine for testing.
|
|
For other games, it might be better if people could test against any game
|
|
that I have in my game library and try to reproduce a problem. Here are
|
|
links to my Steam and GOG profiles so that people can see what games I have
|
|
access to play.
