Notes

Setup

Study the documentation to be aware of all features and specifics.
Install ViGEmBus.
Install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 or newer.
Connect the Sony DualSense, DualShock 4, Nintendo Pro controller or Joy-Cons.
Unzip and launch DSAdvance.
If necessary, change the dead zones of the sticks, triggers or other parameters in the configuration file Config.ini.
(Optional) To enable operation of two gamepads, change the Enabled parameter to 1 in the SecondaryGamepad section. You can also adjust dead zones for sticks, triggers, and colors.
When used with Steam games, in the controller settings, disable Playstation personal settings.
It is also recommended to install HidHide, then in the HidHide Configuration Client add DSAdvance.exe and turn on the paramete Enable device hiding(If turned off). It is necessary so that the game did not see our controller, and saw only emulated Xbox 360 gamepad.
(Optional) To launch from the notification area (tray), by double-clicking, you can add a shortcut to Launcher.exe to Windows startup %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
(Optional) To run third-party utilities via Launcher, specify the title and path to the application in the configuration file.
