Features
DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to use a PlayStation DualShock 4 on your PC by emulating a Xbox 360 controller. This project is actually a fork of the work of Jays2Kings, which can be found on the old project website at DS4windows.
Also, preliminary JoyCon support has been added.
