Ryochan7, the main developer of DS4Windows, a software that allows you to use Dualshock 4 controllers on PC games, has announced that development for it will stop on December 31st of 2023, part of the reason being the discontinuation of the ViGEmBus driver, due to its succesor being probably propietary and it stops any major work on the succesor mapper Ryochan7 was working on.

Ryochan7's original idea was to get a different mapper out there in a more complete state to mostly replace DS4Windows, but that is likely not going to happen.

Wonder why that is… Sunshine uses the driver… I’m not against closed source projects, but why the change..

That's sad news. People would force buy 3rd party of USB adapter dongle like Mayflash, etc to connect PS4, PS5 controller for computer (Windows XP and later up to Windows 12, Linux and Mac OS ready) to play any PC games and emulators with games.

Thanks god. I already bought and owned 3 Mayflash Magic adapters list are 2 of MAYFLASH Magic-S PRO and 1 of MAYFLASH Magic NS from Amazon. I don't have to worry about mess USB drivers on Windows operating system. Just plug in and start play without problems! No need to install any weird USB driver that's would mess up Windows operating system files. I would buy Mayflash Magic adapters again, again in near future because of world's best number 1st adapter than all other lousy adapters.

B-)

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
