dumbxinputemu VS ds4drv-cemuhook

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.

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.

Maybe try using this https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu/

Supposedly this https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu worked for this chap here https://youtu.be/XLfQQGECbv4 However i do not know where to install it. Could you assist?

If it still doesn't work, try using the old method of installing a Cemuhook UDP motion server: https://github.com/TheDrHax/ds4drv-cemuhook

I've used this for motion input in CEMU with a DS4 before, not sure if it works with a Dualsense.

You could use ds4 cemuhook https://github.com/TheDrHax/ds4drv-cemuhook and set the alternate input source to port 26760

I already knew about that. The repository has an issue about that it doesn't work with DualSense, and there are no plans to support it.

Since they use the DSU protocol you just need to use something like ds4drv to make it work.

I am using Cemu on Linux with a bluetooth DS4 controller. I am using ds4drv to make it work with Cemu. Originally, I played it for an hour this morning with zero issues. However, now for some reason, despite nothing changing whatsoever, it no longer works. I have the controller selected in Cemu with Mac, but my button inputs just wont work in my games. I am at a loss and have no idea how I can even diagnose the issue.

I've tried ds4drv (TheDrHax fork) as Dolphin suggests.
