SDL_GameControllerDB VS DsHidMini

Already planned to be in next update. As long as your controller is recognized by SDL2 and has controller mappings available (or you make your own), it will work.

Godot uses the SDL2 game controller database

Input fixes GameMaker's bugs. In addition to keyboard and mouse fixes, Input uses the engine-agnostic SDL2 remapping system for gamepads. Because SDL2 integrates community contributions made over many years, it's rare to find a device that Input doesn't cover.

The triggers are detected as buttons by default in some software (using d-input mode). Anything using the SDL2 community database shouldn't have this problem. I don't remember if RetroPie uses SDL2 or not. If not you might just need to edit a config file to rebind them to axes instead of buttons. I had to do this with Moonlight and linux Steam before the SDL database was updated.

I tried setting the SDL_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG= from SDL game controller DB. Also tried remapping with jscal. Neither worked... and given that other games are recognizing it properly, I am puzzled.

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.
