DsHidMini VS VR-on-Linux

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.

What headset do you have? VR works great when it works, but the protocols on Linux don't play well with all headsets. If you have a Vive, Vive Pro, or Index, it should work well with SteamVR. Otherwise, you'll have to dig around and test yourself using something like OpenHMD or more likely Monado, which both have limited device support. In my search, I came across this page, which might help you out.

As a rare VR on Linux user, SteamVR for Linux is in a sad state and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not extremely dedicated. The fact that it exists at all is a step up from other vendors but man is it a bad experience right now. Worse than it's been since the earliest days IMO

Yep. Here's a relatively out-of-date list: https://gitlab.com/vr-on-linux/VR-on-Linux/-/tree/master/Proton

They are untested but should work, they use Valve's firmware. I reached out to the developers about it a while ago for this document.

Also, check out /r/virtualreality_linux and: https://gitlab.com/vr-on-linux/VR-on-Linux

I've removed it from the list.

Aside from the smaller list of native/supported games, here's what I've found has been tested to work.
