On W*ndows I used DS4Wind*ws, and I have no issues with Steam, but how can I use it to play with RetoArch and Lutris?

Is DS4DRV the way?

    According to this article on the Arch wiki PS4 controllers should work without doing anything. Just plug them in and start gaming 😉

      Thanks. I did try just PnP but it wouldn’t work. Could it be because Steam was running? I’ll have to try again after closing Steam

        I’m sorry, I forgot to mention that you have to press the PS button once after plugging it in. Did you do that?

        If that doesn’t work try restarting Steam and look into your controller settings if it works there, if it does you’re good to go

        Keep in mind that many games don’t natively support Playstation controllers. You can work arround this by emulating an Xbox controller instead (enabling your PS4 controller in Steam should do just that for Steam games). Or alternatively do this regedit edit in your games Wineprefix to achieve the same in any launcher of your choice

        If all else fails it might be worth trying out ds4drv

        Good luck my guy and (hopefully) have fun gaming! :)

          Oh, no I haven’t tried pushing the PS button, thanks for the tip! I’ll try it
