The firmware with the needed "atmega32u4.hex" file is available at: http://gimx.fr/download/EMUPS4PAIRING.7z
  
There's no installation package yet, but GIMX can be easily built from the sources.

Refer to the [[Development_on_Linux]] page. When typing the 'git clone' command line, replace 'master' with 'dev'.

In order to authenticate itself as a licensed controller, GIMX needs to be connected over bluetooth to a real Dualshock 4 all the time.<br />
==Setup==
+
After having started GIMX, unplug the USB cable from the Dualshock 4 and press the PS button.
 
 
The setup performs the bluetooth pairing between the PS4 and the dongle, and between the dongle and the DS4.<br />
 
It has to be run again if the DS4 is reused (i.e. paired again) with the PS4.
 
 
 
Download the helper script:
 
 
 
  wget <nowiki>https://raw.github.com/matlo/GIMX-tools/master/PS4/gimx-ps4-helper.sh</nowiki> -O gimx-ps4-helper.sh
 
 
 
Make it executable:
 
 
 
  chmod +x gimx-ps4-helper.sh
 
 
 
Run it:
 
 
 
  sudo ./gimx-ps4-helper.sh
 
 
 
Simply follow the instructions. A successful output should look like this:
 
 
 
  $ sudo ./gimx-ps4-setup.sh
 
  Unplug any Dualshock 4.
 
  Unplug any teensy.
 
  Unpug the bluetooth dongle.
 
  Then press enter.
 
 
 
  Plug the bluetooth dongle.
 
  The bluetooth dongle address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.
 
  The bluetooth hci number is 1.
 
  Plug the DS4 with a USB cable.
 
  The DS4 address is YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY.
 
  Unplug the DS4.
 
  Plug the teensy.
 
  Unplug the teensy.
 
  Plug the teensy to the PS4, and wait a few seconds.
 
  Then plug the teensy back to the PC.
 
  The PS4 address is ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ.
 
  Everything was successful: setting dongle link keys.
 
  To run gimx, type:
 
  gimx -t DS4 -c config.xml -h 1 -b ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ
 
 
 
<!--
 
==Pairing==
 
 
 
The paring is quite complex, but it only has to be done once.
 
 
 
===Dongle + DS4===
 
 
 
Plug the dongle to the PC.
 
Get the dongle bdaddr (bluetooth device address):
 
 
 
  hciconfig -a | grep "BD Address" | cut -f 3 -d ' '
 
 
 
Result example:
 
 
 
  01:02:03:04:05:06
 
 
 
Generate a link key for the DS4:
 
 
 
  date | md5sum | cut -f 1 -d ' '
 
 
 
Result example:
 
 
 
  381f87ef2a59011cb1dd29b7a67529cd
 
 
 
Plug the DS4. Set its master bdaddr:
 
 
 
  ds4tool -m <dongle bdaddr> -l <DS4 link key>
 
 
 
Example with the previous example values:
 
 
 
  ds4tool -m 01:02:03:04:05:06 -l 381f87ef2a59011cb1dd29b7a67529cd
 
 
 
Result example:
 
 
 
  Current Bluetooth master: 00:00:00:00:00:00
 
  Current Bluetooth Device Address: 07:08:09:0a:0b:0c
 
  Setting master bdaddr to 01:02:03:04:05:06
 
  Setting link key to 381f87ef2a59011cb1dd29b7a67529cd
 
 
 
The "Current Bluetooth Device Address" value is the DS4 bdaddr.
 
 
 
Unplug the DS4.
 
 
 
Set the DS4 link key:
 
 
 
  sudo bash -c "echo <DS4 bdaddr> <DS4 link key> 4 0 >> /var/lib/bluetooth/<dongle bdaddr>/linkkeys"
 
 
 
Example with the previous example values:
 
 
 
  sudo bash -c "echo 07:08:09:0a:0b:0c 381f87ef2a59011cb1dd29b7a67529cd 4 0 >> /var/lib/bluetooth/01:02:03:04:05:06/linkkeys"
 
 
 
===Dongle + PS4===
 
 
 
Plug the teensy to the PC.
 
 
 
Set the device address of the teensy:
 
 
 
  ds4tool -s <dongle bdaddr>
 
 
 
Example with the previous example values:
 
 
 
  ds4tool -s 01:02:03:04:05:06
 
 
 
Result example:
 
 
 
  Current Bluetooth master: 00:00:00:00:00:00
 
  Current Bluetooth Device Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
 
  Setting slave bdaddr to 01:02:03:04:05:06
 
 
 
Plug the teensy to the PS4 and wait a few seconds.
 
 
 
Plug the teensy back to the PC, and type:
 
 
 
  ds4tool
 
 
 
Result example:
 
 
 
Current Bluetooth master: 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f
 
Current Bluetooth Device Address: 01:02:03:04:05:06
 
Current link key: 76f5ea4f6205db412f8095094e5414c3
 
 
 
The "Current Bluetooth master" value is the PS4 bdaddr, and the "Current link key" value is the PS4 link key.
 
 
 
Unplug the teensy.
 
 
 
Set the PS4 link key:
 
 
 
  sudo bash -c "echo <PS4 bdaddr> <PS4 link key> 4 0 >> /var/lib/bluetooth/<dongle bdaddr>/linkkeys"
 
 
 
Example with the previous example values:
 
 
 
  sudo bash -c "echo 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f 76f5ea4f6205db412f8095094e5414c3 4 0 >> /var/lib/bluetooth/01:02:03:04:05:06/linkkeys"
 
  
Restart the bluetooth service (loads the link keys):

  sudo service bluetooth restart

1. The bluetooth service has to be stopped before starting GIMX (this allows GIMX to get incoming connections):
+
The bluetooth service is automatically started when a device tries to connect.<br />
  sudo service bluetooth stop
+
This is annoying since it will intercept the connection requests.<br />
  sudo hciconfig hci<hci number> up pscan
+
To disable the service, run the following command and reboot:<br />
<hci number> is the bluetooth hci number, for example 0 if there is only one bluetooth adapter (internal or external). Run 'hciconfig' if you're not sure about this value.
 
  
2. Start GIMX:
+
sudo update-rc.d bluetooth disable
  gimx -t DS4 -c <config file> -h <hci number> -b <PS4 bdaddr>
 
  
<config file> is the name of the config file to use.<br />
+
Alternatively, you can stop the bluetooth service and move the bluetoothd binary:<br />
<hci number> is the bluetooth hci number, for example 0 if there is only one bluetooth adapter (internal or external). Run 'hciconfig' if you're not sure about this value.<br />
 
<PS4 bdaddr> is the address of the PS4.<br />
 
  
3. Start the DS4. It should connect to GIMX, which in turn should connect to the PS4.
+
sudo service bluetooth stop
 +
cd /usr/sbin
 +
sudo mv bluetoothd bluetoothd.bk
  
4. Refer to the [[Command_line]] page to learn about the other command line arguments.
+
The drawback of this second method is that it will need to be performed again after each update of the bluez package.

This page temporarily contains additional instructions for controlling the PS4 over bluetooth. 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 16.04 and its derivate such as Linux Mint 18.

It can also work on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

Teensy 2.0 or Arduino Micro

(both are equiped with the ATmega32U4 Microcontroller Chip)

This is required for pairing the bt dongle with the PS4.

For the Teensy 2.0 you can use the Teensy Loader.

For the Arduino Micro you may use the Arduino Builder.

The firmware with the needed "atmega32u4.hex" file is available at: http://gimx.fr/download/EMUPS4PAIRING.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 over bluetooth to a real Dualshock 4 all the time.
After having started GIMX, unplug the USB cable from the Dualshock 4 and press the PS button.

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.
To disable the service, run the following command and reboot:

sudo update-rc.d bluetooth disable

Alternatively, you can stop the bluetooth service and move the bluetoothd binary:

sudo service bluetooth stop
cd /usr/sbin
sudo mv bluetoothd bluetoothd.bk

The drawback of this second method is that it will need to be performed again after each update of the bluez package.
