Re: Hori PS4 Mini pad is the way out to support PS5

With the DriveHub, they push the ps button on the hori.

With gimx, you push the ps button on your mapped controller.

I tried pushing the ps button on the hori mini when using gimx, which does not work. Also, when gimx starts the hori 'disconnects'. Is there a way to have the hori mini still be working when using gimx with the playstation?

I'm not really sure what happens with the usb on the hori mini when gimx starts. I see the the packets coming in from the playstation BYTE_CONTROL_DATA and BYTE_OUT_REPORT then sent to the hori. Then I see the hori packets being sent to the playstation such as this:
adapter_forward_control_in
type: 0x44, length: 64
0xf1 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x2a 0x59 0x00 0x9f
0x50 0xf4 0x43 0x79 0x68 0x08 0x23 0xd5
0xff 0x27 0x76 0x3b 0x1a 0xcc 0x14 0x1b
0x7a 0xf8 0x3a 0x1c 0xd5 0x34 0xc0 0x86
0xdc 0xbe 0x93 0xff 0xa4 0xaa 0x9d 0xbc
0x14 0x9c 0xd7 0xe1 0xf8 0xc2 0xc9 0x77
0xeb 0xb3 0x23 0x08 0x15 0xad 0x4e 0x6e
0xf9 0xa9 0x70 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Is the last few bytes supposed to be a crc? For a dual shock 4 controller, it does not have the 4 zeroes or so at the end. I was trying to get gimx to behave as a pass through for the hori mini to the playstation 5, but wasn't able to do that, since pushing the ps button on the hori does nothing. I hear the hori disconnect windows sound after this line of code (I'm not sure how the usb mode works, and why the hori is able to send the control data and out report):
state->usb_device = gusb_open_ids(controller[type].ids.vendor, controller[type].ids.product);

Hi GoDlike - can I just ask if the approach you are referring to is using the Hori? Sorry to ask, but after reading the thread I wasn't 100% sure. If it's not using the Hori then I was going to buy one and take a look at this approach myself as I'd like to use a Hori anyway for convenience, but I don't want to duplicate effort.

We've been using different controller but this doesn't matter much now as this way seems to be blocked for new games.

Thanks for confirming! I might have a stab anyway as there have been reports that it works for some PS5 driving games and it's always nice to learn something new even if I cannot get it to work.
