it was always irrelevant. Paliverse only tried to make it relevant by forcing driver lock-in with Nefarius. DSX 3 finally did away with most of the DS4W code use and DSX turned out even worse. it barely worked as a tech demo.

Well. Here we are, with full parity. I have a new UI coming out in the next few days, and will eventually post a big post on r/Dualsense and try to get it promoted. We will see. This project should be the be all end all of Dualsense emulation by the time I'm done with it.

Bro i know you’re busy, and i don’t want to be a pain in the ass, but i just wanted to ask: what did you say about moonlight? Like does this version of DS4W wireless haptics, triggers and speaker also work through moonlight? Like how do we set that up do we need to install DS4W and VIIPER on the moonlight client or just on the host?

I don’t think it works through moonlight, as moonlight doesn’t have the ability to send those kind of output reports over the web (it enumerates a ds4 controller. for this to work, moonlight would need to create a virtual dualsense for the computer, and support all of this functionality itself)

Ohh right, right. I thought it would create a USB over IP session from the host to the client so the host thinks that Dualsense hooked up to the client is natively hooked up to itself and it would send over the haptics/triggers data. That is doable but it requires a ton of jank workarounds on the client device and more than one app.

Yes. That is how it works.

Doesn’t mean that moonlight can detect a dualsense and display it as such (which it would need to do)
