[Issue] - DS3 as DS4 : select button / touchpad

Kyun

Hi,

I'll start with a big thank you for your amazing work that allowed us to enjoy countless hours of gaming with our favorite controller !

The issue is that the game I'm playing (Below) requires to touch the touchpad to open the game map. As a x360 controller, it is the select button.

The tools in use are :

Fireshock v3.0.0.0
ViGEmBus 1.16.116
Shibari 1.5.171

DS3 controller emulated as a DS4 one.

-- Can I do something with the current tools to make it work ?

(Other than using a keyboard or emulating as a x360 controller - thus losing the button prompts - which would still be okay either way ; not having to reboot after computer sleep is already great - I was using SCP)

Thank you again and I apologize if this was already answered, it is possible that my brain failed to search correctly at 2am )

PS : I didn't do the BthPS3 tutorial yet, but followed the full removal steps of SCP ; wipe utility, uninstall, followed by the use of the proposed tools to check everything was gone.

the touch pad is not emulated. so set shibari to emulate a 360 controller

That's not accurate, the button where the touchpad sits on is implemented, but not mapped to in Shibari. A very simple one line change in code can achieve that, Shibari simply has no exposed mapping configuration the use can edit (and will hopefully never have in favor of better solutions).

Thanks for the explanation, I'll use the 360 emulation because vibrations / rumble are not the same when using DS4 emulation - probably a game issue for it does work but only on a subset of actions.

@nefarius "A very simple one line change in code can achieve that"
How can I do this and what specific line of code should I edit? I just really want to run "the touchpad" via DS4 emulation and the SELECT button.

Here are the button mappings, a simple 1:1 relationship.

Oh, good. But the touchpad click is not described here. It should look like this:
{DualShock3Buttons.Select, DualShock4Button.Touch}
?

P.S.
I'm sorry to bother you, but I really want to continue playing Thank you for your work.

@dedakraeveda Seems it can't be helped enough

nefarius

Look at the sources, it's all there.

@nefarius I think I'm getting it. As far as I know the mapping is in Sinks/Shibari.Sub.Sink.ViGEm.DS4.dll but I can't find a way to modify it. In your link to the source code I can see the mapping and where to change DualShock4Button.Share to DualShock4Button.Select (maybe, I'm not quite sure why it is like this. Nobody uses the share button ) I don't know what else to do with that .cs file or at least how to modify the .dll
I really don't wanna use other software

@anotherglitch Hello,
I'm stuck in the same step as yours in the past.
Hope you'd solved it.
Any luck with it?

Thx

Hi, dear Nefarius what software do you use to edit the source?
I tried using ressource hacker and when I open the sink carpet I dont see any core or ViGEmSinkDS4.cs I can edit so how do i change the line.
Also when I open the sink there is the Shibari.Sub.Sink.ViGEm.DS4.dll file as usual but when i opened it it only shows some version info, nothing i can modify.
I hope you can see this

nefarius

@wichtist Resource Hacker? That's the totally wrong approach, I assume you talk about the Shibari sources which can be found on my GitHub like any other publication. It's been made with Visual Studio 2019 (Professional or Community Edition).

Cheers

@nefarius thank you dawg, i'm a complete noob so all this is new to me but I want to keep learning.

You need to download the source code from github for Shibari, then change the line in:
Shibari/Sinks/Shibari.Sub.Sink.ViGEm.DS4/Core/ViGEmSinkDS4.cs

From:
{DualShock3Buttons.Select, DualShock4Button.Share}

To:
{DualShock3Buttons.Select, DualShock4SpecialButton.Touchpad}

Then compile. Replace your Shibari.Sub.Sink.ViGEm.DS4.dll file with the newly compiled one and restart the program.

@ultrajohn Thank you very much. Would you be so kind to post the .dll file if you can? I think that would be of huge help to many people who don't have Visual Studio or don't know how to code and compile in C++
Thanks!

Never mind, I managed to compile the new mapping. For those interested in emulating the DS4 touchpad with the 'Select' button on a DS3, substitute the attached .dll in the 'Sinks' folder.

Nevermind, I managed to compile the source with the new mapping and apparently it works.
