Emulate Dualsense as a 360 controller on Linux

The purpose of this fork is to allow this repo to run under root in order to bypass permission issues accessing /dev/uinput.

Pre-requirements

Have a recent kernel (5.12+) that includes the latest official drivers (hid-playstation)
Install xboxdrv (https://xboxdrv.gitlab.io)
Basic dev tools like g++ or make
Make sure you are using this repo under ROOT. If you are using this as a user, please use the original repo.

How to compile

git clone https://github.com/Valcyclovir/ds360
cd ds360
make

Usage

Starting the process in terminal, press CTRL+C to stop

./ds360

Starting ds360.service manually, controller must be connected

systemctl start ds360.service

Automatically start ds360.service via udev rule when controller connects

./add-udev-rule.sh

How to install

git clone https://github.com/Valcyclovir/ds360
cd ds360
make install

How to uninstall

make uninstall

Troubleshooting

The script should work fine if the Dualsense controller is connected through USB or via Bluetooth, but if you still get the "VID not found" error, please check your /proc/bus/input/devices file and see if your controller is there.

If it's not recheck if your kernel includes the hid-playstation driver and try to use xboxdrv manually with dualsense.xboxdrv config (edit the commented evdev=... line).

Hint: you can find the value to use for evdev with this command (thanks to /u/QushAes)

    for sysdevpath in $(find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev); do
    (
        syspath="${sysdevpath%/dev}"
        devname="$(udevadm info -q name -p $syspath)"
        [[ "$devname" == "bus/"* ]] && exit
        eval "$(udevadm info -q property --export -p $syspath)"
        [[ -z "$ID_SERIAL" ]] && exit
        echo "/dev/$devname - $ID_SERIAL"
    )
    done
