PS4 Controller (connected over USB cable) on my system has guide:b13 (not b12) about sdl_gamecontrollerdb HOT 5 CLOSED

"The relevant entry is already in SDL 2.04:" :)

Also, the issue is outdated as many (many) new PS4 controllers have been added recently.

edit: If you are still experiencing problems overriding the DB, please contact SDL devs on forums/mailing lists as that is likely a bug (rather than a database issue).

I do not have access to a PS4 controller to verify what the right mapping is. The actual usage of the gamecontrollerdb.txt file is up to the application (SDL by default will load gamecontrollerdb.txt, but that can be overriden).

The relevant entry is already in SDL 2.04:

    "4c05000000000000c405000000000000,PS4 Controller,a:b1,b:b2,back:b8,dpdown:h0.4,dpleft:h0.8,dpright:h0.2,dpup:h0.1,guide:b12,leftshoulder:b4,leftstick:b10,lefttrigger:a3,leftx:a0,lefty:a1,rightshoulder:b5,rightstick:b11,righttrigger:a4,rightx:a2,righty:a5,start:b9,x:b0,y:b3,",

This is related to #102.

On the subject of the "right" mapping, it's a matter of opinion. On my PS4 controller (which admittedly has a slightly different GUID - see #113), b12 is the PlayStation logo button, which is an appropriate choice for Guide as it matches the PS3 mapping and the Xbox controller's Guide button also features a system logo.

The unmapped b13 is the clickable touchpad, which sits between Share and Options in roughly the same location as the Xbox Guide button. It's also a large and easy target to hit, so it's appealing to have it mapped.

Personally, I would have chosen to map the buttons based on my experience with native PS4 games: touchpad (b13) to Start, Options (b9) to Back, PS (b12) to Guide, with Share (b8) unmapped. That suggested mapping isn't geographically similar to an Xbox controller, but it pairs the most-frequently used actions with the most accessible buttons.

What was the resolution of this issue?
