![]() Unfortunately, this doesn't mean users will be getting the same affects such as the DualSense's rightfully hyped up haptic feedback, or even the adaptive triggers. Presto, next-gen controller support is in full effect. Navigate to the Bluetooth section of the Nvidia Shield TV, and to pair a PS5 controller, press down on the PlayStation home button until a blue light flashes.Īs for a Xbox Series X or Series S controller, press down on the pairing button until the Xbox button starts flashing. The Nvidia Shield TV update can pair the PS5 controller and Xbox Series X controller via Bluetooth. ![]() See our reviews of the Xbox Series X and PS5.Check out the Xbox Series X games and PS5 games confirmed so far.See the best PC games and best Xbox Game Pass PC games to play now.It should now be detected as a DirectInput gamepad, in games, x360ce, etc. inf file and select Install.ĭisconnect and reconnect the controller as switching drivers sometimes causes problems. ![]() To install the driver right-click on the. Making this driver was helped tremendously by usbhid-dump, hidrd-convert, UsbLyzer, Wireshark, the gc_n64_usb firmware source code, and the vague yet helpful instructions that someone who managed to change a USB descriptor gave on the ntdev mailing-list. Ironically that device was detected as a gamepad (and poor DirectInput has trouble when two different gamepads have the same IDs), so the above output collection was inserted to get rid of DirectInput. The hack could be replicated for other controllers that don't bother with PID which is a way too complicated standard for basic gamepad rumble.įinally, the trackpad input gets tweaked to work like a standard trackpad, and because the HID gamepad client driver doesn't handle volume inc/dec buttons (while Linux picks them up without flinching), a virtual HID consumer control device was added that receives the input from those two buttons. To support rumble in any game, old and new (while GeForce Experience only supports Xinput games), emulation of a HID Physical Input Device (PID) was added. The triggers were still not being detected by DirectInput, so another tweak provided by the filter driver is to change their "HID usage" from Accelerator and Brake axis to Rx and Ry axis. So based on this finding a small lower filter driver under HidUsb was written to modify the descriptor reported to HidUsb, changing "Usage Minimum" and "Usage Maximum" (which are the actual lines preventing the detection) to "Usage". So theoretically it should be supported by generic Windows drivers, but it wasn't being detected by DirectInput.īy playing with the vhidmini driver from the DDK which provides a virtual HID device, I managed to find what prevented the detection inside the HID Report Descriptor:Ġx09, 0x34, /* Usage (Ry), */ 0x81, 0x02, /* Input (Variable), */ 0xC0, /* End Collection, */ //0xA1, 0x01, /* Collection (Application), */ // <= The root cause was this "output collection" part of the same report //0x19, 0x01, /* Usage Minimum (01h), */ //0x29, 0x03, /* Usage Maximum (03h), */ //0x26, 0xFF, 0xFF, /* Logical Maximum (-1), */ //0x95, 0x03, /* Report Count (3), */ //0x75, 0x10, /* Report Size (16), */ //0x91, 0x02, /* Output (Variable), */ //0xC0, /* End Collection, */ 0xC0, /* End Collection, */ 0x05, 0x01, /* Usage Page (Desktop), */ 0x09, 0x02, /* Usage (Mouse), */Ĭommenting those lines made the virtual device show up in the game controller applet of the configuration panel. ![]() The controller is a HID-compliant game controller, it's supported out-of-the-box on Linux and applications accessing it through raw HID. I've bought Tegra hardware (nVidia Shield tablet and Jetson) and used to applaud their open source efforts, but screwing their game controller buyers like this makes me regret my decision. Excluding AMD and Intel graphics card owners has made a lot of people extremely displeased. NVIDIA previously released a driver that was bundled with GeForce Experience and only usable by NVIDIA graphics card users, and also suffered from a variety of issues according to forum discussions. It also emulates a force feedback device for rumble support in both DirectInput and Xinput games, tweaks the input data of the trackpad to make it usable, and adds support for the volume increment/decrement buttons. This small USB filter driver intercepts and tweaks the HID Report Descriptor to make DirectInput detect it as a gamepad. Support is planned but until then, the new model is already partially supported out-of-the-box by the generic Windows driver. IMPORTANT: this driver doesn't support the 2017 Shield Controller yet. ![]()
