Frage game pad issues.

Hello guys and gals.

I have a dumb question. Santa brought me a playstation controller. Not a xbox controller. I plugged it in. And nothing. I have gone to the add on for the xbox controller. there is no install option. Is it already installed? Does it have to be a xbox style? I wouldnt have thought it really mattered that much. Thanks in advance.

Thinking is like believing, both sometimes are bad advisors - knowledge is better.

X-box is close to an windows PC AND the xbox controller is directly supported by directX - I believe

For my PS3-Controllers there are drivers available allowing them to be used in games. Maybe you find such a driver for your controllers (PS4?) as well.

This is for my stepcraft. And if you open the ummmm plug in file. there is a file for xbox controller. i will keep poking around.

What is the difference in a game supporting X-Box controllers and WinPC supporting X-Box controllers? There should not be a difference, both use directX.
So, the drivers I mean will add directX compatibility to the PS controllers. These drivers are available on the internet. The tool I use is called "better DS3", so a quick search for better DS4 showed me, that there are tools around for PS4 controllers. Another keyword is XInput, which is the directX component for user input devices, like the controller.

Good luck.
