DS4 button mapping wrong with new device

Post by Beetlepig »

Hi Folks,

I've been using the adapter with my laptop for a while and it has been fine with the DS4. However, upon changing my setup the button mapping seems to have messed up. While the logs are showing the correct button inputs, they are not correlating to the actions on screen (e.g. cross and circle move up and down a menu rather than selecting or navigating).

I have tried re-flashing the firmware (I'm aware I'm using the PS3 setup, but this has been fine in the past as it recognises the correct inputs), but to no avail.

My previous setup:
Laptop -> GIMX adapter -> USBc to USB -> Same Laptop

New setup:
New Laptop -> GIMX adapter -> UBSc to USB (same cable) -> Laptop

log.txt:

Hey.
I tried opening the Config in GIMX Config but i can't see anything wrong with it.
Have you changed any buttonmapping/gamepad configuration in the game?
Have you assigned any special button mapping in the PS4 settings?

Make a new config and try again?

For some reason it seems that when the adapter is going between different machines, it causes issues. I've managed to isolate the process to just run on one computer.

However, when playing games, the inputs don't seem to be picked up some of the time. Like it'll be running fine, and then all inputs will not go through for a few seconds. The logs themselves don't seem to have any glaring issues. Do you know what might cause this, as it's been an issue on both machines I've tried?

I've attached a link to my gameplay recording (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BAAIOs ... sp=sharing), the point at which the player stops moving completely is when the inputs cut out, I was pressing buttons at the time but to no avail.

Very strange.
I suppose that you are running windows 10 on both machines?

Try downloading the latest CP210x driver https://www.silabs.com/developer-tools/ ... cp-drivers
If you haven't i suggest you download the latest chipset driver for your computer.
Sound like timeout issue.

After installing drivers, check that no timeout is set on the USB devices in Power Options for windows.
