PS4 wont recognize Driving Force Pro

Hello everyone, I received my Gimx adapter in the mail today and am having problems getting it to work with my Driving Force Pro and PlayStation 4.

I initially accidentally downloaded the Driving Force firmware, which allowed me to use the buttons but no pedal or wheel usage. After trying 'get configs' under the help menu in the launcher, I could not download the Driving Force Pro .xml and had to retrieve it off of the github itself. This file gives me the "joystick not found: Driving Force Pro USB (0)" error upon clicking the check button.

I am running Windows 10 in bootcamp on a Macbook Pro, not sure if this makes any difference at all. In addition, I'm using a USB hub to plug the adapter and the controller into the main one of the USB ports on my Macbook (which only has two), not sure if this makes any difference either.

In addition, GIMX always asks me to install the Logitech Gaming Software everytime I open the program with my wheel connected.

Im still a complete novice at all of this, so any help is appreciated, thank you very much.

You need to install logitech software or it won't work. That's why gimx keeps asking you about this. You should also use EMUG29PS4 firmware. You can flash it using gimx-loader.

I am not sure if it'll work in bootcamp. It's pretty rare setup.

Please follow the official guide for PS4+Windows+SteeringWheel: https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Gu ... eringWheel

It says there is no need to change firmware if you have an official adapter. Change it back to EMUG29PS4.
It also says you have to install Logitech Gaming Software, so please do so.

Running GIMX in virtual machines is not officially supported. If you don't have any Windows computer you can run GIMX using a Live USB disk with Ubuntu 18.04. For PS4+Ubuntu+SteeringWheel follow this guide: https://gimx.fr/wiki/index.php?title=Gu ... eringWheel
