This page temporarily contains additional instructions for the PS4. It will later be merged to other pages.

Hardware requirements

Bluetooth dongle

A bluetooth dongle is needed. The only tested bt chip is the CSR8510 chip.

PC

The only supported OS is Ubuntu 14.04 and its derivate such as Linux Mint 17.

It can also work on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

Teensy 2.0

This is a temporary requirement used for pairing the bt dongle with the PS4.

The firmware to load is available at: http://gimx.fr/download/EMUPS4.7z

Dualshock 4

The PS4 only takes inputs from licensed controller.
In order to authenticate itself as a licensed controller, GIMX needs to be connected to real DS4 all the time.

Download & setup

http://gimx.fr/downloads

GIMX has full support for the PS4 since version 2.00.
The setup is straightforward using gimx-launcher.

Additional instructions for RPi/raspbian

The bluetooth service is automatically started when a device tries to connect.
This is annoying since it will intercept the connection requests.
Run the following commands to disable the service:

sudo update-rc.d bluetooth disable
sudo service bluetooth stop
