Is it possible to use native Windows mod managers? Trying to play Silent Hill 3 on Steam Deck.
It's written for the Deck in mind but it still applies to regular Linux desktop. The only thing I would adjust from the guide is to download Xidi and use it as the XInput to DInput plugin (extract dinput8.dll from Win32, extract to root game folder, open winecfg -> Libraries tab -> add 'dinput8' as native, builtin and then, lastly, install MS VC++ 2022 redist in the prefix).

A Better Guide for Ephinea Steam Deck/Proton
Download Xidi and extract the x86/32 bit dinput8.dll into the Ephinea installation directory. This will make the triggers function as buttons rather than a single axis. (Tip: this also works in Windows!)

Abridged guide for XInput support in legacy DInput games
Download the latest version of Xidi and copy the dinput.dll version into your game's install directory. Use the dinput8 version if you know your game uses DInput8 and not prior versions.

I can't map my controller
Regarding X360/X1 gamepads, download Xidi (as dinput.dll) to fix the Triggers issue. Then proceed to the following instructions: To make the controller respond to input, go to the menu that has the keyboard/mouse inputs and cycle the menu (using buttons near the top of the menu) to your controller, then set your own bindings.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dhc and Xidi you can also consider the following projects:
ArduinoXInput - XInput library for USB capable Arduino boards
dinputto8 - A dll module that is designed to improve compatibility in games using DirectInput 1-7 (dinput.dll) by converting all API calls to their equivalent DirectInput 8 (dinput8.dll) ones. This allows older games to be able to use newer tools and wrappers written for DirectInput 8.
myinput - Maps keyboard keys to a virtual gamepad on a per-app basis, without having to install drivers.
wine-ge-custom - My custom build of wine, made to use with lutris. Built with lutris's buildbot.
