minus-squareSmoochyPit@lemmy.catoLinux Gaming@lemmy.world•How would I use a DS4 (wired) on Linux to play old games on RetroArch?linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-212 days agoMy ds4 works out of the box— the touchpad even maps to the mouse cursor (I use libinput and Wayland). Ds4drv, if you use it, will override the default kernel driver I believe. Make sure it’s not emulating an Xbox 360 controller, unless you want that. ArchWiki also mentions that you need to disable hidraw in Wine. Maybe that’s related, if you have issues with Windows games? linkfedilink
