You can map Direct Input controllers to work in Big Picture mode. It's in BPM's Settings, Controller, Edit Controls. I did that with my Dualshock 2 hooked up with a USB adapter:(and Valve actually, since Big Picture mode only supports Xinput controllers)
ok i finally got it to work, but I want to go to bed. How do I turn the DS4 off? lol
Ok so if I have my PS4 controller working wirelessly on my PC, plus an actual PS4 right next to it, is there any way to ensure that I can use the controller for just one or the other without the PS4 turning on when I go to use the controller?
I hope this question makes sense....
Ok so essentially if I want to use one controller for my PC and Ps4 I'm going to have to re-register every time I start it up?
Well it should work if the Mac has anything like x360ce, but I don't know if it does. =/
If anyone gets this working for FFXIV I'd love to know how. As other posters mentioned, some of the buttons are mixed and there's no way to recalibrate the buttons.
Is there a way to unmap the triggers from the buttons? Right now they're registered as both an axis and a button, and the button is the overriding input when I try to map the controller from within a game.
I've noticed that pressing the button quickly registers an axis, slowly a button. I don't know if it works for every game, though.
Hmmm, must not work for every game--didn't do it for me.
-Open up the x360ce and put it into the game you wish to play (Must be with the game's .exe!)
So, I have been looking for a new controller (for PC SP games) as I am tired of the 360 one. I do plan on getting a PS4 (but not at launch) and was wondering if this controller was good enough to use without a proper driver/console to use it on, or if I should just grab an Xbone one.
I think they said they won't release the PC drivers this years. But I might be wrong.

I imagine someone can hack it to work, but that'll take time and most likely they won't care unless it's surprisingly easy.Get the DS4, a bluetooth dongle, and use x360ce when necessary. Forget about the Xbox One pad as it's proprietary and useless until Microsoft rewrites the Xinput driver for it.
My PC sees my DS4 but won't pair with it for some reason.
Windows 8.
Someone needs to make this happen ASAP. That would be #gamechangerNope. Not without drivers written for it.
Right now the pad works as a basic two stick pad with the buttons and triggers via directinput. That's it. Nothing special.
Since the controllers are out in the wild and a lot of people are buying them I feel like this would be helpful.
How to pair your device to BT for wireless play:
(MicroUSB required for wired play)
To put the unit in pairing mode you hold Share button (first) + PS button, the unit will start double blinking white LED.
You should then be able to find it under "Add BT Devices".

UPDATE: How to play Xinput/360 controller supported games with DS4!
-Download x360ce
-Open up the x360ce and put it into the game you wish to play (Must be with the game's .exe!)
-Run it
-Select "Logitec Cordless RumblePad 2" under presets
-Hit Load
-Save
-Replace the xinput1_3.dll with the one found here
-Play the game!
*you may get a "config file does not match" message, just click ok and ignore it.
You can now use your DS4 as a Xinput PC controller, and its very nice actually!
This is frustrating. I remapped the buttons and the emulator recognizes that I'm pressing Triangle, but FFXIV still thinks I'm pressing Circle.
Anyone getting random device unplugged sounds? DS4 is working great with Skyrim on PC, but that device unplugged sound keeps occurring and sometimes the DS4 will momentarily be unresponsive.
I've been using a DualShock 3 for a year now with MotionJoy (with BetterDS3, not the default GUI). When you use the DS4 with the x360ce does it have full functionality on all buttons? Where is Back/Select mapped to, the Share button or the Touchpad click?

In the same folder as the exe file.
edited that part.
I hope something comes out soon so we can stop using x360ce already
All this fucking nonsense + still unreliable compatibility = buy the $20 360 dongle. Why do people put themselves through this kind of stuff? This should be in the PC gaming will never be taken seriously until it fixes the bs thread.
What $20 dongle?
Also I agree, would just like to plug in and play with my controller but that isn't happening![]()
