PSPlay + BlueStack5 + 8bitdo controller issue

Yeah Chiaki can be buggy on Windows. REPL4Y works well with a somewhat clunky UI. Other option is to get your Xinput controllers recognized as DS4 and use Sony’app, I use the excellent reWASD for this (paid), and there’s also some free ways to do it like this: https://github.com/micro-artwork/xi2ds
