I don't know if ViGEmBus supports the controller vibration function yet. I would imagine that it does since it supports other things like touchpad swipes. I would ask on their GitHub but they are preventing people from reporting bugs, submitting questions, and making feature requests. They want users to ask on Discord instead, and there is nothing that I hate more than a GitHub repository trying to send me elsewhere or trying or to use a chat room.

I'm not using DS4Emulator right now because I am not subscribed to PlayStation Now. At least not yet. I plan to subscribe sometime between now and December 10, 2021. Most likely around 3-4 weeks from now. The game that I want to play is The Last of Us Part II. In this game, you have to shake the controller to recharge the flashlight. I don't think that it is absolutely necessary to have the flashlight charged, but it is a nice game with many hours of gameplay and it would be better if I could have a charged, working flashlight during that time. So if your DS4Emulator doesn't support it yet, could you look into adding it? I hope so. Thank you.

Hi, I'm using this program to play on PS4 remote play, till now everything works fine except the trigger buttons. I've attached the controller model below if you need that.

Controller model - https://www.amazon.in/Redgear-Pro-Wireless-Gamepad-Black/dp/B0756CLQWL

start button . sometimes action button. sometimes something else set system sound volume to 100 at once. using ds emulator for last of us . cause my xbox gamepad have some trouble with sticks. issue with sound dissapearing when closing ds emulator. sorry for poor english

Remote Play complains about "low controller battery", and sometimes DualShock4-Emulator closes on its own, at which point Remote Play tells me to "charge my controller" before continuing.

I've tested with a Generic (Logitech) Gamepad with a wireless USB dongle, and a Steam Controller on the wireless USB dongle, Bluetooth and fully wired using microUSB, with and without batteries inside the controller. Steam Controller reports its charge correctly through Bluetooth and Steam(using the wireless dongle), and the Generic Gamepad doesn't report its charge at all, but it seems like this is disregarded anyways, as in both cases Remote Play claims the same thing.

Please look into it, as the warning is a bit annoying. Thank you for your work.

i'm primarily using this tool as a passthrough for other apps/games that supports DS4 but there is no motion sensor data.

edit: just to clarify, i'm using a DS3 with scptoolkit, i want to get the motion data from the DS3 to the DS4 Emulator.

I never played a PlayStation game before, so I am not familiar with controllers at all. In The Last of Us, I am supposed to shake the controller or something to recharge the flashlight. But I don't know how to do that. I found a forum thread that said something about six-axis, whatever that means. Is there a way to do this in DualShock4 Emulator? And if not, can you implement that feature in the near future? Thank you.

I can't quite figure out how to use it on another window besides PS Now. I tried changing separately both the ActivateInAnyWindow to 1 and changing the ActivateOnlyInWindow name to the window I want to use it in and neither worked. Thanks in advance.

Some games need pressing RB and shaking at at same time.So are the any way to chage the button of shake?

Minor issue. The program box says:

Press exit key to exit, by default it is "~"

However on a UK English keyboard, the exit key is in fact a single quotation mark, i.e. '

I use ps4 remote play because my ps4 controller is broken.

Add option to disable mouse emulation so it does not get stuck center screen.
and/or add option to disable joy sticks (for fighting games, only dpad and XO/[] are needed)

Problem:
[KeyboardMouse]
ActivateOnlyInWindow=PlayStation™Now <- unknown what to type for "ps4 remote play" window
Mouse gets stuck center screen because of:
ActivateInAnyWindow=1 <- changed to 1 so it works for ps4 remote play

Need to alt tab to disable.

Hi,
When i open DS4Emulator after a few second the application crash.

In the EventVier i find this:

So I decided to pin the DS4Emulator program to my Taskbar for easy access. I'm going to later search online how to make it open minimized to the Taskbar. It shouldn't be too hard. But the DS4Emulator program not having a program icon bothered me. I will probably search online for a good image. Maybe an image of a PS4 controller or something. But anyway, I wanted to show you my temporary icon.

As you can see, the program to the right of PlayStation Now is the DS4Emulator program that is using your GitHub profile image.

I just downloaded your profile image and converted it into an .ico image and then I went to Properties and changed the shortcut icon to the new .ico image. I'm not very happy with this image, so I will search online for a better controller image later.

If I find some a good image, I will share here on this thread.

IMPORTANT:
Whenever you change a program shortcut icon, you should always go to Run and type this and press enter:
ie4uinit.exe -show
It will refresh the taskbar icons and update them to show the new shortcut icon that you applied.

When HideCursorAfterStart the cursor is hide even after i close the app with ALT + Escape.

I found out that ViGEmBus 1.17 will allow programs such as yours to implement touchpad swipes. Could you add this feature? For more information, please visit this GitHub thread - nefarius/ViGEmBus#79

So this is a six year old script that I found on the internet. It was really hard to find. If you press Win + C, it toggles mouse cursor visibility on/off. Not everyone knows how to create AutoHotKey scripts. So what you do is you download the AutoHotKey progra installation .zip. You extract it into a folder. Then you open the subfolder called Compiler. Inside the Compiler folder, you create a new .txt document (Notepad) but then you change the extension from .txt to .ahk. I would also name this new .ahk file HideShowCursor. Copy the contents of the following code inside that file and then save and close it. Finally, inside Compiler folder is a Ah2Exe program. You open that and select the path to the .ahk file you just created. Then for Base (bin), you select 32-bit or 64-bit. I always go with 64-bit. Then click the Convert button. This will create a new AutoHotKey program executable called HideShowCursor. Now if you run it and press Win + C, you can toggle mouse cursor visibility.

Here is the code for the script:

; Example: Hides the mouse cursor when you press Win+C. To later show the cursor, press Win+C again.
; This script is from www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic6107.html

OnExit, ShowCursor  ; Ensure the cursor is made visible when the script exits.

When i open DS4Emulator i ear the sound of a new drive but then the program just stops.
With the help of Sysinternal's Process Monitor (procmon) i see:

Then the dump file is written.

Dump file (maybe some output, like the various Warning, are generated by WinDBG itself during the analysis... i do not know):

I'm trying to use an XBox 360 Controller for PS Now on Windows 10.
Hope you can help me.

Regards.

Hi! I installed the vigembus and started the DS4 emulator, then connected to Ps remote play. The strange thing is that the arrows working for navigation and despite the cross button is binded to space, I figured it works with the enter key. Nothing else seems to happen when I try to push any other button, binded, or not binded.

i have x360 controller and rb+back(touchpad) button doesnt work for shaking function can i solve this or not.Sorry for my problem i didnt understand well the instructions

Thanks for your emulator btw

As in the object, I'm running Ps Now on Linux via Lutris, and it works just fine, the only problem that Lutris uses a Windows XP prefix to run PS Now and I can't make it work your useful DS touch-pad emulator.

I was wondering if gyroscope support can be added like how cemu does it

https://cemuhook.sshnuke.net/padudpserver.html

To hide the cursor after startup, change HideCursorAfterStart to 1, to restore the cursor, close the program by pressing "ALT" + "ESCAPE" or "~".

This is not intuitive.

Firstly, thank you so much for the great software! I can play Until Dawn on my PC with an Xbox 360 controller!

The problem is that Until Dawn's story choices are selected with the analogue stick, and my controller selects options without me pressing anything due to the stick being slightly off-centre when not pressed (it is old).

Can you add a deadzone option so that, for instance, the stick only registers when at 25% of maximum?

Probably related to #3 and/or #17, possibly #22.

The Problem

When I open DS4Emulator or DS4Emulator64.exe, it crashes after a couple seconds. This has persisted through every version since at least 1.7.3. I have all the dependencies installed already. My machine is 64-bit Windows 11 Home, although this behavior also occurred when I was still on Windows 10 Home.

When it runs in a normal CMD window, the window closes automatically on crash. On Windows Terminal, however, the window stays open so I can see that it say: Process exited with code 3221225477

It generated a dump file and a windows error reporting file, but for some reason WinDBG is not starting on my computer, so I'm attaching them instead (zipped because github doesn't support .dmp or .wer attachments. Hopefully they will be helpful.
[AppCrash_DS4Emulator64.zip]

The Workaround

A workaround that sometimes works to prevent DS4Emulator from crashing is, immediately after starting the emulator, pressing Alt+F9 to view stick input values, waiting a few seconds, then pressing Alt+F9 again to hide values. For some reason, the emulator usually will not crash during or after this (until the next restart, that is).

I followed all the steps but the emulator is not working. I can use the Playstation Now interface, but when I'm inside a game, it doesn't react to anything, like there is no controller connected.

There is a new version today. And I cannot use my keyboard anymore.

Starting the emulator first, it reports the use of an xbox controller.
Start PSNOW
Start Last of Us Part 2 and it asks me to reconnect the controller constantly and can't get to the start menu.

Have installed ViGEmBusSetup_x64 as per instructions and have the correct Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed.

The controller works fine on Detroit and Horizon Dawn all OK!

Hello,

It would be nice if you were able to use the "share" button on the Xbox controller (and not the "Back") to handle the special cases.

For example:

• HOLDING "SHARE" + D-PAD = Taps on touchpad (up down left right)
• HOLDING "SHARE" + L-STICK = Tilting left and right (basic gyro)
• BACK = Taps on touchpad (center) -implemented
• HOLDING "SHARE" + L3 OR R3 = Shaking the gamepad - implemented
• HOLDING "SHARE" + R-STICK = Swipes on touchpad (up down left right) - implemented

Hi,

I'm using the DS4 emulator version 1.7.4 and my inputs aren't registering and the cursor isn't fixed to the center of the screen as it is supposed to be. The computer can recognise the emulator and so can the PSNow, but any inputs of the emulator are not being registered in-game.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Since the new PlayStation Plus app, the PS Now app no ​​longer exists.
You have to modify the Config.ini file and change like this:

ActivateOnlyInWindow=PlayStation Plus

Face of controller(where the buttons are) maps to bottom of phone (where USB slot is).

Hello. I tried to use your cool program with ps remote play, but there is something wrong with triggers emulation.
I tried both: keyboard mode and xbox360 mode.
In Ace Combat 7 the fighter jet should get speed boost from L2 or R2 but nothing happens when I hold them pressed.
In Gravity Rush 2 those buttons used for dodging and dashing, but totally not work too.
Can you retest and fix it?

This was just what i was looking for! working great, thanks!

But i am seeing really high CPU utilization with the emulator executable. is this normal?

Hi, this is a fantastic program! Would it be possible to map the PS Button (y'know, the round one in the middle of the controller that opens the PS4's settings menu)?

Personally, I'm using a physical Xbox One controller, not keyboard/mouse, so if there's a way to map the central Xbox button to the central PS button, that would be ideal. Otherwise, it would work just to have some mappable button combination (e.g. I would probably use 123, since I never use the PS share menu anyway).

When I first installed DS4Emulator, I played around with the settings and eventually found settings that I was really happy with. I had set Ctrl (17) for L3 Left Thumb so I could press the Ctrl key to "listen" in The Last of Us. And I wasn't sure what I should set R2 Right Trigger to, but I was okay with P (80) to toggle view from over left shoulder to right shoulder.

Then today, I tried some new programs out to see how they compare to DS4Emulator. I installed GPDSCK (and vJoy) and x360e. I couldn't get it to work. It was confusing and anytime I pressed a key, it pressed a different key instead. So I gave up.

When I went back to DS4Emulator, the Ctrl key no longer worked for Left Thumb to "listen" for enemies. So I tried changing it to X. But X wasn't the greatest key. So I tried R. R was okay, but then I decided on F. But the game acted weird. With F as the key for Left Thumb to "listen" sometimes CTRL worked as L3 Left Thumb.

All I know is I can't get Ctrl (17) to work for L3 anymore. P does toggle view from left to right shoulder, but only if I point my gun. If I am not pointing my gun, it pulls up the PlayStation menu instead. Which is fine. I just wish I knew what is wrong with the L3 key. Also, right now, no key seems to be working (that I already used) for L3. Like X, F, etc. wont' work. But maybe I can only "listen" in certain parts of the game?

I did uninstall GPDSCK, vJoy, and x360e. I even uninstalled ViGEmBus and DS4Emulator and installed them again. Even restarted my computer.

Maybe I am just being dumb. Maybe nothing is wrong. It's just acting weird to me and I have no idea how to fix it. Oh, and I restarted PS Now a lot of times too.

PS - I really like this problem, and I don't have any complaints. It's easy to use and I appreciate it. I didn't want to buy a controller and this program does what I want. Just trying to figure out why I'm having problems with the L3 key now. I'm tired and half asleep so I will try again tomorrow.

I want to learn how to comment out 1.) lines of text, 2.) blocks of text, an 3.) parts of a line, but not just the end of the line.

1.) Lines of text.

Like this:

[DS4]
InvertX=0
InvertY=0

# This line is commented out.
// This line is commented out.
<!-- This line is commented out. -->

2.) Blocks of text.

Like this:

[DS4]
InvertX=0
InvertY=0

# This line (of a block) is commented out.
# This line (of a block) is commented out.
# This line (of a block) is commented out.

// This line (of a block) is commented out.
// This line (of a block) is commented out.
// This line (of a block) is commented out.

<!--
This line (of a block) is commented out.
This line (of a block) is commented out.
This line (of a block) is commented out.
-->

3.) Parts of a line (and not just at the end of the line).

Like this:

[DS4]
<!--This text is commented out.-->InvertX=0<!--This text is commented out.-->
<!--This text is commented out.-->InvertY=0<!--This text is aso commented out.-->

Would be great if it could ignore spaces too, like this:
<!--This text is commented out.--> InvertX=0          <!--This text is commented out.-->
<!--This text is commented out.--> InvertY=0          <!--This text is commented out.-->

Why do I want to do this?

I want to make the config files easier to read and for the config files to have all the information that I need so I don't have to refer to GitHub pages.

This is an explanation of my Last of Us controls (I will need to improve it later by using arrow characters for the dpad):

L1 -- LEFT_SHOULDER=2		RMB for "Zoom"
R1 -- RIGHT_SHOULDER=1		LMB for "Fire, Reload Weapon, Use Health"
L2 -- LEFT_TRIGGER=16		Shift for "Sprint"
R2 -- RIGHT_TRIGGER=17		Ctrl for "Listen Mode, Switch Shoulders While Aiming"
L3 -- LEFT_THUMB=70		F for "Focus On Hint/Scene"
R3 -- RIGHT_THUMB=18		Alt for "Flashlight"
O --- CIRCLE=67			C for "Crouch, Previous Menu"
X --- CROSS=32			Space for "Menu Select"
△ --- TRIANGLE=69		E for "Interact"
□ --- SQUARE=81			Q for "Melee, Escaping, Other"
----- SHARE=9			Tab for "Backpack/Crafting"
----- OPTIONS=79		O for "Options"
----- TOUCHPAD=13		Enter (not applicable)
----- DPAD_UP=38 		Up
----- DPAD_LEFT=37		Left
----- DPAD_RIGHT=39		Right
----- DPAD_DOWN=40		Down

1. ) Left side.

As you can see, the very left side had abbreviations of controls and symbols of controls, such as:
L1, R1, L2, R2, L3, R3, O, X, △, □ , and soon to be arrow characters for dpad.

It also has -----'s because when I use a monospace font in Notepad like consolas, it makes everything neatly aligned. I may end up switching to a different character instead of -----, though. I might use ______ instead.

‎
2.) Right side.

And then on the very far right, I write what the key code stands for and what that button will do. For instance LEFT_SHOULDER=2...
2 is the key code for RMB, and for this game it is used for "Zoom".

‎
3.) This is what I want to do on both the Left and Right sides.

So It would be nice if I could comment out stuff like this and have it ignore all the spaces:

<!--L1 __--> LEFT_SHOULDER=2		<!--RMB for "Zoom"-->
<!-______--> DPAD_DOWN=40		<!--Down-->

And this would not be as nice, because it doesn't have the aesthetically pleasing spaces:

<!--L1 __-->LEFT_SHOULDER=2<!--_____________RMB for "Zoom"-->
<!-______-->DPAD_DOWN=40<!--________________Down-->

4.) Bottom of config file.

And then I want to add a commented out block on the very bottom of the config file that has every key code, so a person can just look at their config file to know what the key codes are without having to refer to a website page.

‎
5.) Side note.

I know that I could put the "explanation of controls" in a separate commented out block. But I wanted to make it even better than that. Because I think that it would be nice if the actual config part of the config file had L1, R1, L2, R2, L3, R3, O, X, △, □ , and soon to be arrow characters for dpad, to the left of the LEFT_SHOULDER=, RIGHT TRIGGER=, CROSS=, etc. to help better orientate users when they are trying to edit their bindings. When I am changing the config, it helps having those symbols L1, R1, L2, R2, L3, R3, O, X, △, □ immediately jump out of me. But also, sometimes when I am in-game, I forgot what I had assigned to L1, R1, L2, R2, L3, R3, O, X, △, □ and it helps to Alt + Tab to the config file and easily spot where that PS4 button is and what keyboard or mouse button I have assigned to it.

‎
6.) Conclusion.

I hope that all the things that I want to do are already possible. And if not, I hope that DS4Emulator can be tweaked to make them possible. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

In DS4Emulator 1.7.5, there is a button for "Motion" that lets you shake your controller.‎ This should allow you to recharge your flashlight. I haven't tested it out yet though. If it doesn't work, another way to recharge your flashlight is to just restart the checkpoint.

Button Key Codes

This is a commented out section that I added to the bottom of my DS4Emulator config file. It contains a list of all the button key codes. I thought that it would be more convenient to have all of the button key codes in my config file instead of having to use my browser to visit a website https://github.com/r57zone/Half-Life-Alyx-novr/blob/master/BINDINGS.md

I changed the order of the button codes according to my personal preferences. And I changed the order of a few key names. For example, I changed the key names ", <" and ". >" to "< ," and "> ."

Please let me know if I made any mistakes or if any of these key codes quit working in the future.

UTF-8 vs ANSI Encoding

In my config file, I use symbols like △ and □ instead of /\ and []. But if you copy and paste those △ and □ symbols into the default config file, it won't let you save the file without losing those symbols. Why? When people who use Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8.1 create a new Notepad document and then save it, the default encoding will be ANSI which doesn't support these symbols. The DS4Emulator developer is using this ANSI encoding in his config files. This type of ANSI encoding is outdated. In Windows 10, the default encoding for all Notepad documents is UTF-8, and that's great because that means it supports these special symbols. It is very easy to create a Notepad document in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, and 10 that uses UTF-8 instead of ANSI encoding. Just create a new Notepad document, click 'Save As', and then next to the Save button is a drop down menu where you can change the encoding to UTF-8. Once you save the file, you can rename it to "Config", and then you can copy and paste the contents of your original config file into it. Then change the file extension of the config file to .ini.

Hiding the Mouse Cursor

The DS4Emulator program lets you hide the mouse cursor. In version 1.75, this is accomplished by changing HideCursorAfterStart=0 to HideCursorAfterStart=1. In version 1.76, you will need to set a hotkey to hide the cursor. But this DS4Emulator feature is very flawed. Once the mouse cursor is hidden, you can't get it back until you completely exit the DS4Emulator program. This is very inconvenient to people who switch tabs often and want to be able to see their cursor to move it around and type things.

That is why I am suggesting to use my program instead. Actually, it isn't my program. It is an AutoHotKeys script that someone created ages ago, and I just changed the name of the program and changed the hotkey. The hotkey that I used is Win + C to toggle mouse cursor off and on. Click Win+C Toggles Cursor Visibility to download it. This is the original AutoHotKey script https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/22037-hide-and-show-mouse-cursor-by-macro. Some reasons why my program is good:
1.) It does not take up any taskbar icon space and it does not create any additional command prompt or other program windows on your screen. You will only see the program icon in the system tray.
2.) It's very simple to hide and show the cursor. It doesn't matter what window you are in. Just press Win + C to toggle the mouse visibility off and on. as as many times as you want. You will never have to switch to a command prompt window, close the program, or open up the program again. In fact, you can just create a shortcut of this program and put it in your Startup folder and leave the program running 24/7, 365 days a year.

The DS4Emulator developer also had a program called HideCursorTool that lets you hide the mouse cursor. This is a bad program for a lot of reasons.
1.) It opens up a command prompt window which takes up space on your taskbar. And this window also takes up space on your desktop screen.
2.) If you want to make the mouse cursor visible again, you have to do two tedious things. The first thing that you have to do is Alt + Tab to switch to the command prompt window. Then you have to press 'Enter' which shuts down the HideCursorTool program.
3.) If you want to make the mouse cursor hidden again, then what? You have to find the HideCursorTool exe in your File Explorer (or Desktop, or Start Menu) and then start it up again. That's not fun. It takes up too much time, especially if you are constantly Alt + Tab back and forth between windows and need to see and use your mouse a lot when you are in those other windows.
4.) I tested this program out and discovered that it is glitchy. It made my mouse cursor permanently disappear and I couldn't get it back because the HideCursorTool command prompt window had already been closed. I was forced to 'Sign Out' of my computer and sign back in to restore my mouse cursor.

Is it possible to emulate the motion controls of a DS4 controller using the keyboard?

It would be nice if you were able to hide the Xbox controller when using DS4 Emulator mode.
Because the physical X1-controller and the virtual DS4 are doing the same inputs and it confuses some other games.
Please implement asap.
All in all it's a great free alternative to tools like reWASD.

DS4 Emulator can be falsely recognized by antiviruses as something malicious. Send the archives with DS4 Emulator and a link to the repository to your antivirus company, maybe they will fix it.

Possible reasons for a false alarm may be the addition of a cursor hiding function, or the dynamic loading of the library xinput1_3.dll .

I sent the archives to several antivirus companies, but not all responded (for example, such as microsoft).

If you are having problems starting, you can try the Static version (with static library loading xinput1_3.dll however, the Guide/Xbox button will not emulate the PS button) or add the program to the antivirus exceptions.

Добрый день! Вы не могли бы, пожалуйста, поделиться полными нормальными include-ами, я не могу никак его собрать, даже не смотря на то, что взял Ваш Common.h из этого обсуждения #19 и версию из master-ветки отсюда: https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmBus/tree/master/sdk

Hi. I am using the DualShock4 Emulator, which requires ViGEmBus. It works well. It makes it so that I can play games on PlayStation Now using a keyboard and mouse. There is one thing though. It locks the mouse cursor into the center of the screen. I can understand the reasoning behind this. It's probably to keep the mouse cursor from leaving the game window. To prevent it from clicking items on the taskbar or maybe desktop shortcuts. However, sometimes I want to Alt + Tab out of the PlayStation Now window and do something in another window. I can Alt + Tab just fine, but my mouse cursor will still be locked in the center of the screen and I can't move it to do anything. The only way to unlock the mouse cursor is to press the ~ key, which then closes the DS4Emulator program. I have to completely close it before I can use my mouse again. And then because I only need to do something in another window for a short period of time, when I Alt + Tab back to the PlayStation Now window it is inconvenient that I have to start the DS4Emulator again. So what I'd like to be able to do is have a hotkey for unlocking and locking the mouse. That way when I'm playing a game, I can Alt + Tab to another window, press the hotkey to unlock the mouse, do what needs to be done, press the hotkey to lock the mouse again, and then Alt + Tab back to the PlayStation Now window. I don't know which program is responsible for locking the mouse cursor, so I thought that I would ask for help from both GitHubs - DualShock4 Emualtor and ViGEmBus. Thank you for taking my situation under serious consideration.

Can't figure out how to use the app, I've tried following instructions and trying different things but to no avail.
Could someone help setting it up? Thanks.

In shooter games where square is interact and reload, I would like to bind E and R both to square so my habits of pressing each one depending on what I want to do can work for when I'm using this program instead of having to press one to do both.

(en) Hello!
The emulator worked great with the PlayStation Now app. After merging PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus together, in the new application, the emulator stopped working with my Xbox 360 wireless controller. In the application menu, the controller seems to work, but there is no reaction in games.
Tell me, please, what can be done?

(ru) Привет!
Эмулятор отлично работал с приложением PlayStation Now. После слияния воедино PlayStation Now и PlayStation Plus, в новом приложении эмулятор перестал работать с моим беспроводным геймпадом Xbox 360. В меню приложения геймпад вроде как работает, но в играх нет реакции.
Подскажите, пожалуйста, что можно сделать?

Hi, would it be possible, in either the ReadMe or a page in the repo's Wiki, to write out the steps you use to compile the executable from source code? Thanks!

If this gets support for the Steam Deck controller (on windows), this will be a better alternative than current methods which just emulates XInput controls (no gyro, no touchpad) because the DS4 has gyro and touchpads.

Hi!

maybe silly question; but what version of ViGEmBus are you using?

Asking, because with this one:
https://github.com/ViGEm/ViGEmBus/blob/master/sdk/include/ViGEm/Common.h
DS4_REPORT_INIT_EX is missing (only DS4_REPORT_INIT exists) and I get 94 'is not a member of _DS4_REPORT_EX' errors.

I would like to try out some tweaks since for some reason inFAMOUS Second Son does not recognize some touch inputs.
