linux VS DsHidMini

I think that's outdated: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/64bef697d33b75fc06c...

For specific cases I can find ext4 explicitly checking for RO https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/8c06da67d0bd3139a97f3...

FFS predates FreeBSD and is in some capacity supported by all 3 major BSDs. I'm fairly confident that Linux actually supports it through the ufs driver ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs ); whether the use of different names in different places makes it better or worse is an exercise for the reader.

These are a bit easier to see what's going on:

Unfortunately Github doesn't have a way to render symbols for whitespace, but you can tell by selecting the spaces that the previous version had leading tabs. Linus changed it so that the tokens `default` and the number e.g. `12` are also separated by a tab. This is tricky, because the token "default" is seven characters, it will always give this added tab a width of 1 char which makes it always layout the same as if it were a space no matter if you use tab widths of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

There was also a Gentoo effort to run atop FreeBSD[0]. The challenge of course is that afaik none of the BSD kernel ABIs are considered stable. The stable interface is the BSD libc. That said, with binfmt_misc, I don't see a reason you couldn't just run (at least some) FreeBSD binaries on Linux with a thin syscall translation layer (rather something like qemu-system) and then your layer hooked via binfmt_misc. I'm not aware of anyone who has done this for FreeBSD, but prior efforts existed as alternate binfmts for SysVr4/5 ELF binaries[2]. Either way would take some elbow grease, but you *might* even be able just reuse binfmt_elf and just have a new interpreter for FreeBSD elf.

So first you need to use software to make the Afterglow PS3 controller appear as a DS4 controller (e.g. DsHidMini and DS4Windows), and then make sure you're playing a game that supports the DS4 controller (e.g. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_DualShock_4).

Check this out. I have ds3, ds4 and dualsence connected with this to and they works perfect https://github.com/ViGEm/DsHidMini/issues/40

This should be what you're looking for, should be a simple setup!

I think OOTB support is contingent to this.

https://github.com/ViGEm/DsHidMini Works for me

I remember DS2 and DS3 controllers having pressure sensitive buttons, meaning that pressing X to accelerate would make the car go faster the harder you press on X and slower the lighter you press X. I have been trying to setup my DS3 for at least 2 hours now trying to get the pressure sensitivity to work using GInput. I tried to get ScpToolkit to work, but the program wont even open to let me install the drivers. I then found DsHidMini, which works flawlessy with GInput, I was able to install the drivers and get my DS3 working in-game without any problems... except there's no pressure sensitivity. I tried putting DsHidMini's XInput1_3.dll into the games directory thinking that would work, but it didn't change anything.

So I checked the github page and it seems that it's dead and the dev recommends using DsHidMini instead, I don't know much about these softwares but according to this the DsHidMini checks the MAC Address of the controller to see if it's fake or not but it probably won't work since it doesn't have all the MAC addresses of all genuine devices.

I uninstalled those drivers and downloaded DsHidMini. It does what I want, I just have to switch from its settings between SXS (Steam, RPCS3) and XInput each time I want to play RPCS3 or PC games. Don't know if there was any other way.
