Hi I'm trying to use the DS4 as an input device for GIMX and when it auto detects L2 and R1 they both appear as "Button 10" and L3 and R2 both appear as "Button 7," never mind the fact that those numbers are totally different than what appears on the "Wireless Controller" test properties. What can I do to correct this?

Hi,

It's possible to use L2 and R2 as axes instead of regular buttons.
I suggest you to download the Dualshock4.xml config using the Help>Download menu.

I downloaded it but it still has the same problem even when L2 and R2 are set as axes.

The problem lies in a third-party library (libSDL).
I'll try to add a work-around in the next release (GIMX 5.0).

Download the following archive: link.
Extract the SDL2.dll file into the GIMX installation directory (replace the existing SDL2.dll file).

gimx-launcher won't open with that SDL2.dll. I restored the old one and it opened up

I think some of my build tools was updated, and that the generated dll is not backward compatible.
The issue will be fixed in GIMX 5.0 that I intend to release in the next days.

Ok, thank you Matlo!

GIMX 5.0 is out: http://forum.gimx.fr/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1267
The conflict should be fixed. You'll have to use the L2 and R2 buttons as axes.
To control buttons with axes, select "axis up" or "axis down" before clicking on auto-detect.
Please let me know if the issue is fixed.

I'm getting this error

src/windows/async.c:248 GetOverlappedResult failed with error: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

src/windows/async.c:230 ReadFile failed with error: The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation.

can't read packet data
No controller detected.
adapter_detect failed

Edit: Ok I got it to work, I solved it by not using the new firmware 5.0 for the teensy and it started working again. Also, DS4 is working as well! All buttons are now separated.
