Dec 12, 2016 Help - How to use a Dualshock 4 (PS4) Controller with Android Hello! I've gone through the steps to pair my DS4 to my android (LG V20) over bluetooth, but it does not seem to work in the PPSSPP. Download Virtual Controller for free. Program to control vJoy / vXbox Device via keyboard, mouse, joystick. Description Program to control Virtual Input Devices via physic Input Devices. Supported Virtual Input Devices: vJoy (Virtual Generic Joystick) vXbox (Virtual Xbox 360 Gamepad) vKeyboard (Simulated Keyboard) vMouse (Simulated Mouse) Supported Physic Input Devices: Keyboard Mouse Joystick. I got PPSSPP earlier today and tried out LCS. The performance is fine, constant 30FPS, but the f.cking controls are a joke! I was gonna play with my PS3 controller, but SCP Toolkit isn't working. What controls can I use for Keyboard? It'd be great if you could show me a photo of the controls section of PPSSPP on your system.
The Sony PlayStation 4 Dualshock 4 is a very well made controller. It feels solid and has an excellent D-Pad. It has wireless functionality and can charge its internal battery via Micro USB.
There are a few ways to use the Dualshock 4 with the Raspberry Pi:
- USB Cable
The simplest way is to plug in with a Micro USB cable. You could probably buy a very long (3M/10ft) USB cable if you wish to sit a bit back from the screen.
- Sony USB Wireless Adapter
All official PS4 controllers should be able to pair with the official Sony Dualshock 4 USB Wireless Adapter.
- Mayflash Magic-NS Wireless Adapter & Mayflash Magic-S Wireless Adapter
Both of these adapters by Mayflash are affordable and solid third-party wireless adapters that perform almost exactly the same as the official adapter with the added bonus of being able to use either for other types of controllers as well. However, their method of d-pad input does not work with PPSSPP for PSP emulation.
- Bluetooth
If you wish to use either a USB Bluetooth adapter or the Pi 3's built-in Bluetooth then regular Bluetooth pairing in the menu may work, or you may need to use the userspace controller driver calledds4drv
. It depends on your individual controller.
General Controller Usage
Ps4 Controller Ppsspp Pc
Pairing Mode
To put the controller into pairing mode, press and hold the Share button then the PS button.
After a few seconds, the light bar will strobe rapidly and brightly.
The controller is now in pairing mode.
To turn the controller off
The controller will not sleep on its own if left idle, it will remain on until the battery goes flat.
To force the controller to go to sleep, hold the PS button for 10 seconds.
Once the light bar turns off, the controller is asleep.
Shutting down your Pi will also turn the controller off.
To wake up the controller
Tap the PS button.
The light bar will turn on. The controller will automatically re-connect to anything it's already been paired to.
To charge the controller
Connect the controller to any USB host (Raspberry Pi, powered USB hub, television USB port) or any USB charger (phone/tablet charger, USB battery, official or aftermarket controller charging station).
The light bar will pulse yellow while charging, and turn off when fully charged.
The Dualshock 4 can charge off either a USB host or a USB charger. It does not need to be connected to a USB host like the Dualshock 3 did.
Usage Methods
USB Cable
Just plug the USB-A into the Raspberry Pi and the Micro USB into the controller. Done.
The light bar will glow dull blue when the controller is in use as a USB device this way.
If you are concerned about power usage, charging the Dualshock battery can use up to 500mA of power.
Sony Dualshock USB Wireless Adapter
This add-on product made by Sony does the Bluetooth pairing in hardware. To the Raspberry Pi and RetroPie, the controller appears as a regular wired USB controller and no additional software setup is required.
One adapter can pair one controller, though multiple adapters can be plugged into the one Pi to allow use of multiple controllers.
To pair the controllers:
- Plug in the USB adapter, it will slowly blink, this is the 'searching' signal
- Push the adapter in more, it moves slightly inwards, and hold for 3 seconds
- The USB adapter blinks faster, this is the 'pairing' signal
- Put the controller into pairing mode with Share and PS
- The USB adapter light and controller light bar will go solid, they are now paired
Repeat with additional adapters and controllers as required.
Regular Bluetooth Pairing
Not all PS4 controllers can be used this way!!!
Try yours and see how it goes. If it doesn't work, then proceed to the next heading about ds4drv
.
- Enter the RetroPie Setup Script
- Configuration / Tools
- 802 - bluetooth (as of RetroPie v4.2, it is now listed as 804 - bluetooth)
- Register and Connect to Bluetooth Device
- Put the controller into pairing mode with Share and PS
- Choose the first/top/default method of pairing in the menu
Once paired, see if EmulationStation will recognise the controller.
If EmulationStation does respond to button presses, lucky you, you're done.
If EmulationStation doesn't respond to button presses, then your controller cannot be used this way. Unpair it and use the ds4drv
Anno 2070 serial key free. method.
The reason why all controllers don't work like this is not clear but controller firmware is suspected to be the reason - with 'old' firmware able to be used as a regular Bluetooth controller and 'new' firmware not able to be used this way - however it may also be some other non-obvious reason.
If firmware is the reason, it's likely that System Software 3.50 (April 6th 2016) is the changeover, although it may be an even earlier update.
Userspace Controller Driver (ds4drv)
ds4drv
is a userspace driver which allows the Dualshock 4 to be used when regular Bluetooth does not work.
The source code and further description is available at:
- https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv
Which Bluetooth Adapter To Use
- Pi 1 or Pi 2 or Pi Zero: Use a USB Bluetooth adapter as these models do not have onboard Bluetooth
- Pi 3 with RetroPie 3.7 and later: Use the onboard Bluetooth
- Pi 3 with RetroPie earlier than 3.7: Disable the onboard Bluetooth and use a USB Bluetooth adapter. Onboard BT is disabled by adding
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
to/boot/config.txt
Installation
Install the Python 3 requirements, and then install ds4drv
with the Python package manager:
Allow non-root users to control the ds4drv
joystick:
Test the controller to see if it can connect:
(Note: the --led 000008
can be omitted or changed to modify the controller light bar color)
Put the controller into pairing mode with Share and PS. It should connect to ds4drv
within a few seconds.
Once you have confirmed the controller connects, exit ds4drv
with Ctrl+c, the controller will disconnect.
(Note: Some controllers will require ds4drv but not hidraw to run. If the above command does not work, try running just ds4drv --led 000008
instead.)
Now configure ds4drv
to run at startup by editing the rc.local
file:
After the # By default this script does nothing.
line, add a new line with the contents:
(again, you can remove or change the --led 000008
as desired)
(Note: If you had to drop the --hidraw to test the connection in the previous step, then do not include it in the rc.local file either. Just /usr/local/bin/ds4drv --led 000008
)
The correct complete rc.local
file will look like:
Save this file and quit the text editor.
Turn the controller off by holding the PS button for 10 seconds until the light bar turns off.
Reboot the Pi:

Once RetroPie reboots and is at the EmulationStation screen saying 'No controllers are detected', put the controller into pairing mode with Share and PS. The controller should connect to the ds4drv
running in the background.
Setup A Ps4 Controller For Ppsspp Emulator
If EmulationStation does not recognise the newly-paired controller, then press F4 to quit EmulationStation and run emulationstation
to restart it, or just reboot your Pi and tap the PS button every few seconds to encourage the controller to re-connect to the ds4drv
instance as soon as it runs.
Once EmulationStation recognises the controller, proceed with the usual EmulationStation input setup.
