    Just in case u/kik0sama's answer doesn't work, my DS4 worked by using Dumb XInput Emu, which is basically a couple of DLL's to move next to the game exe and BAM, DirectInput cobtrollers work in XInput games now.

    Placing the dlls from https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu next to the game executable made everything I needed work. I do not know if rumble and motion controls work, but the basics do.
  • More info on "This game does not support external Bluetooth/USB controllers on Deck for local multiplayer"?

    This note is on a few games I play, and any game with this note only recognizes input from the first controller in the controller order. I've tried streaming these games from another computer to the deck, and any connected controllers work fine. There's too much input delay like this so trying to run these games through wine shows all of these controllers in the wine control panel, but does not recognize any in game. I've tried wine + dumbxinputemu with no luck. I've found that non-name brand controllers work perfectly-- wired or bluetooth-- but any on-brand controllers (xbox one, xbox 360, ps4, ps5, switch pro) suffer the issue and are ignored unless they are player one.
