DsHidMini VS dxwrapper

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.

Then, download this and place the files inside the game directory (C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity Classic).

There's also dxwrapper that implements old DirectDraw/3D interfaces with newer D3D9 api for better compatibility with newer Windows versions:

FYI: The Space Bar re-release features Elisha Riedlinger's DxWrapper (https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper), whose config file is otherwise stock with just FullScreen enabled. I strongly believe they didn't properly test it.

RTX Remix uses a custom d3d9.dll though so you additionally need another wrapper such as https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper to customize which dll should be loaded since by default d3d8to9 uses the default system file which will result in translated calls not being redirected to the path tracer used by Remix.

If you have a GPU that supports DXVK (Basically it forces DXVK to run the game in Vulkan intsead of it's usual DirectX 9, which the DX9 version hates GTA IV and while GTA IV hates DX9 back) and has more than 2GB of VRAM (DirectX Vulkan), then I HIGHLY recommend it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases (Use this guide to install it: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2020/07/gta-4-stutter-choppiness-fix.html. If you want aliasing AND DXVK, use this guide: http://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2021/01/antialiasing-with-dxvk-and-gta-iv.html. If your GPU doesn't support Vulkan, use DxWrapper: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/releases).
