Xbox 360 Driver For Ds4

PCSX2 and PCSX-Reloaded[edit]

• Copy the LilyPad-Scp-r5350.dll from the /bin/Win32/ folder and paste it into the plugins folder.
• Change the pad plugin in PCSX2 or PCSX-Reloaded from the default LilyPad to the LilyPad-SCP version.
• You may also need to disable DirectInput and XInput before the next step. To prevent crashing, which seems to vary from system to system.
• Then copy over XInput1_3.dll from /bin/Win32/ to PCSX2 or PCSX-Reloaded's directory. NOT the plugins directory.
• Now disable all other Game Device APIs other than native if you haven't already. Background input is fine though.
• Set keyboard input to raw while you're at it. For PCSX-R's hotkeys, since Windows messaging input kills them.
• You'll still need to bind the controls. Switch over to the Pad 1 tab to do so.
• If done properly this will also enable you to use pressure sensitive buttons without any further configuration

Notes[edit]

• Installing the Bluetooth SCP driver, which lets you connect your DS3/DS4 devices to your computer wirelessly via a Bluetooth adapter, requires the adapter to be solely dedicated to the SCP service. You will not be able to use other Bluetooth devices with it until you uninstall the Bluetooth SCP driver from the adapter.
• To put a DS3/DS4 to sleep, hold L1 + R1 + Home. Putting a controller to sleep will not actually fully turn it off. Its controller (player) number will remain locked at what it was, and any other controllers added to the setup will need to work around it. This is especially a pain when changing between different controller types (from a DS3 to a 360 pad, for example). The only way to fully disconnect it is to restart the SCP service, done either by manually restarting it or by restarting your computer.
• If you need DirectInput support for your DualShock controllers while using the SCP driver, you can try this wrapper.

Troubleshooting[edit]

If you are having trouble installing it, please go over these to double check.

Ds4 Controller

• Ensure the Xbox 360 driver installed correctly. Go into Devices & Printers > Xbox 360 Controller > Hardware and update the driver from there.
• Have you tried uninstalling and force installing it?
• Go into properties of all the .exe files and hit unblock, especially ScpService.exe.

• Did you install it as an administrator?
• Did the entire folder have Full control privileges for SYSTEM and Administrators?
• Do you have the relevant XInput1_3.dll in the relevant program's .exe's directory?
• Does SCPUser.exe show them working?
• Is the 'SCP DS3 Service' service running?
• In the case you're running wired, have you tried reinstalling SCP with Bluetooth unchecked?

Video guide[edit]

We recently learned that, this generation, the PS4’s DualShock 4 controller would work with PCs out of the box, unlike the PS3’s DualShock 3. Now, a video has surfaced that shows the DualShock 4 working with the Xbox 360. If the video isn’t staged in some way, does that also mean the PS4 controller is also compatible with the Xbox One?

Last generation, Microsoft’s console got a massive amount of exposure thanks to the PC gaming scene, as the Xbox 360’s gamepad doubled as a competent PC gamepad. Many PC games had built-in support for the controller — complete with on-screen button prompts and controls specifically labeled with the 360 gamepad’s layout. Certain PC games were even designed for the 360 gamepad more than they were designed for the keyboard and mouse combo. Sony obviously realized what that exposure meant to Microsoft last generation, and has already made sure the DualShock 4 would be compatible with PC games. If this newly surfaced video isn’t staged, it would appear Sony has made sure its next-gen controller worked with the competition’s hardware.

How To Use Ps4 Controller On Pc

The video shows a DualShock 4 controlling an Xbox 360. We don’t know how some YouTuber got ahold of a DualShock 4 almost one month ahead of the PS4’s launch, but if the internet is to be believed, some random kid already got ahold of a retail Xbox One. So, stranger things have already happened.

According to the YouTube video’s comments, the DualShock 4 was made compatible with the Xbox 360 through the use of JoyToKey, a Cronus dongle, and the Cronus Bullseye software. JoyToKey is a piece of software that converts gamepad controls to keyboard and mouse controls. The magic was mainly performed through the Cronus Device, which is a USB adapter that allows you to use any combination of controller and console — a PS3 on a PC, an Xbox 360 controller on a PS3, and so on.

The Cronus dongle requires a wired connection, which means that you can’t use your PS4’s DualShock 4 from the comfort of the your couch that’s too far away from the living room TV. Due to the use of the third-party Cronus adapter, this also means that Sony hasn’t performed some technological voodoo that makes the DualShock 4 compatible with the Xbox One. However, it does mean Sony and Microsoft haven’t (yet) blocked the ability to use either console’s controllers on a competing device.

If the above video turns out to be a real demonstration, then what it means for gamers is that with a little extra money, you won’t be tied down by console-specific controllers if, for example, your hand doesn’t fit comfortably around certain controller contours. Of course, using the Cronus means your brain will still have to fit comfortably around seeing on-screen prompts that display buttons different than those on your controller. Whatever the case may be — especially with the already established PC compatibility — we’re slowly inching closer to an age where you can use one gamepad to control all of your living room game consoles.
