Project lineage and maintenance¶

Individual release entries and Git history retain further attribution. See the changelog, upstream PR #86 and GitHub contributor history.

Issue reports and testing¶

Thanks to the people who supplied reports, logs, recordings and follow-up testing for this fork:

These credits acknowledge participation in the reports; they do not imply that each person validated every fix or release.

Nefarius and the controller ecosystem¶

Special thanks to Nefarius for his foundational contributions to Windows controller software. His ViGEm project powered virtual-controller output in earlier DS4Windows versions, and HidHide helps prevent double input in this fork by hiding physical controllers from games.

This fork now uses VIIPER for virtual-controller output, while continuing to benefit from the wider ecosystem he helped build. If his work has helped you, please consider supporting his projects.

Earlier DS4Windows contributors¶

The following names are preserved from the inherited contributor list. Travis Nickles (Ryochan7) is credited above. This historical list is not an exhaustive record of every code, translation, documentation or testing contribution.
