I'm trying to set up PCSX2 1.6.0 to play AC2 using my PS4's controller on windows 10, running into the usual problems with analog sticks reading fucky or not at all. I've had this problem with various PC games and did a lot of reading on it over the years but still can't seem to get much consistency.

I have DS4 windows installed, I've tried the built in driver and the fireshock driver on github, and while either of them or with nothing installed would read inputs, when doing the quick setup for controllers in PCSX2, it always flashes through the buttons quickly like its receiving extra inputs. I've tried assigning them all button by button, and in game there is no response from the joysticks at all.

Back when I played Sekiro I had a similar issue where the each time starting the game the camera would be permanently rotating due to the joysticks not detecting correctly, and I'd have to each time, remove the controller in hardware and devices, plug it back in, go into DS4windows and check 'hide DS4 controller' then close it and reopen it before starting the game each time. Would really like to get a permanent solution since I really like the DS4 controllers given how comfy they are.

Oh and I've tried launching PCSX2 via steam big picture as well and still no luck.

It can be considered retro depending on the person, but /vr/'s rules aren't about "X amount of time has passed"; it's about "before the year 2000. As you said, PS2 is from the year 2000, so that's not /vr/ territory.
I know, you will find it unfair, but that's the rules. The general consensus is that a /v2k/ board would be needed for discussing non-current, post-2000 vidya.

>> No.6449808

The thing about the 6th gen begging is that it's now sort of a personal thing.
People being angry at /vr/'s rules and /vr/ regulars is more important to them than actually discussing 6th gen. Let's be honest, you want 6th gen discussion? Plenty of places you can do it.
Some people just became obsessed and made it their life mission to "win" this war and get /vr/ to accept post-2000 gaming, just to spit on "boomers" or whatever.

You're not really helping your case. 6th gen inclusion would only increase the console war shitposting.

If 6th gen is allowed, then fuck it, allow 7th gen too, it's also "old" for a lot of people... same with early 8th gen, 2012 was 8 years ago, that's like a million years the way a younger person perceives time.

/v2k/.
We all have different opinions, I personally think 3D gaming isn't "retro", I'd actually vouch for 5th gen to also go to /v2k/ if it ever gets made, and leave 4th gen as the last retro generation.
Also, the archive isn't working for me right now, but I've seen successful 300+ replies 6th gen/ps2/gamecube threads on /v/. It may be hard to get them going, but it's possible. The problem with /v/ is the speed and traffic, not that they don't care about it. There's also the /vg/ option.

>why? gen 6 and gen 7 were many years apart.
Well, the same way some people are saying "PS2 is retro now, it's been X amount of years", anyone could come up with the same questioning: "PS3 is X amounts of years already! It's retro! what do you have against 7th gen?", etc, etc.
It has nothing to do with indulging in specific consoles or brands, it's about not disrupting /vr/'s board culture. This is a board for pre-2000s gaming, simple as that.
I'm open for a /v2k/ board, I'd enjoy it and visit it.

Well, a lot of /v/ is current console warring, and when there's some new big game that comes out, or events like E3, the board goes crazy with the traffic. It's why /vr/ was made.
The point of /v2k/ would be to have a board to discuss modern 2K gaming that's not current gen, so you'd have PS2, GC, Xbox, Wii, PS3, Xbox, PSP, DS, etc, etc.... with all the console warring that those also bring, of course (which is the main reason it'd be harmful for /vr/).

It's not that slow, it's mid-paced. Threads can get archived in less than 24 hours here while still getting 50+ unique IPs.
You want 6th gen because you think it's old enough to be /vr/, but there's also people who think 7th gen is old enough to be retro, too. And soon enough, kids who were toddlers when PS4 came out and are now teenagers will also think PS4 is retro, once PS5 comes out.

>proof positive that the scope of /vr/ should merely be expanded
Here's the thing, once we open the gates for 6th gen, 7th gen begging will start, and then if 7th gen is allowed, 8th gen begging will start.
Everyone has different perceptions of times, and different nostalgia, you may think PS2 is retro but PS3 isn't, but there's someone out there who thinks PS3 is perfectly retro, too.
So that would make /vr/ be a general video game board for practically everything except current gen. It depends on whether you think this is a good idea or not.
And before you think "no, but we could make the rules be that it needs 20 years to be retro", the same way you guys are questioning the rules now, new people could question the new rules and start spamming the board for the rules to be changed to 15 years, 10 years, or 5 years. it'd be a never-ending shitpost war until everyone gets "pleased"... and then what? And then... console wars. PS3 has no games! Wii U sucks! Xbox One sucks!... truly retro.

it's a silly slippery slope fallacy and either way a more rational temporal policy for the board would prevent it from happening. you're just an autist who can't stand gen6, but refuse to acknowledge the inherent contradiction in 'gen 6' not including the dreamcast.

>> No.6450443

If I couldn't stand gen 6, I'd just tell you to fuck off,report you for off-topic, and not even mention the possibility of /v2k/.
It's not a fallacy, I think it's a valid foresight. If you guys are so riled up about 6th gen not being included here, what makes you think 7th gen people will remain silent once 6th gen is allowed? After all, 7th gen is 15 years old. Who are you to arbitrarily claim 20 years have to pass for something to be retro? 10 years could be enough... yeah, it's not worth it. /v2k/ is just a more sane solution, I don't see how wanting a board for 2000s gaming is a bad thing, honestly. It'd leave /vr/ with its own culture, and we'd have a board for discussing 2000s game culture too. It's win-win.
I think you're just obsessed with wanting 6th gen here no matter what, but you're obviously against the idea of 7th gen being retro, so that's a bit unfair for people who are nostalgic for 7th gen, in their eyes.

>> No.6450447

>what do you mean?
You claim I'm autistic or a gatekeeper, but you're just as much into the whole discussion and being adamant about your views. I'm telling you that there could be another option, make another board, not only for 6th gen, but 7th gen and then every subsequent non-current gen, but you don't want that, you just want 6th gen here on /vr/. Your claim about /vr/ being a slow board has been proven wrong, also, /vr/ is a mid-paced board.
So, I ask you: Why are you against the idea of having a board for both 6th and 7th gen?
Otherwise, would you be OK with 7th gen being included on /vr/ along with 6th gen?

>> No.6450464

>>6450460
>adamant about my views
my view is that gatekeeping gen6 is silly considering you already allow part of it to be discussed. Why are you so hostile to that? If one Gen 7 console was already allowed on the board, I'd similarly find it strange that discussion of Gen 7 is prohibited.
