Hi there,

I recently tried to connect my PS4 pad to my nvidia Shield K1 tablet with USB2Go. While tha pad was recognised and labled as Sony pad, the button setup was pretty much messed up. The sticks nad D-Pad worked well, but all other buttons were mixed up. Two shoulder buttons didn't work at all, one (L1 IRC) was labled as "start" when trying to map keys in the keyboard menu, as was one of the usual our buttons.
Then I tried to connect one of my PS2 pads with an adapter. The adapter name was shown and the pad worked better than the PS4 one, yet still R/L3 didn't work and two shoulder buttons were disabled.

Are there any known issues with those pads? PS3 pad is listed as working, no mentioning of PS4 or PS2. I do not like to root my shiny new tablet for warranty reasons. ;) So any work on it, or is it a shield issue? If so... Any workaround known, besides the six-axis-thingy which requires root?

Thanks in advance.

Many guilds have good info on their own forums for configuring hardware. I know of: http://forum.tgft.org/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=5300, but many others do exist. That link is on the TGFT public forum area, so no need to register with them if you do not feel like it to read the post.

Keep in mind that not all OS will have the same button map for a given control/gamepad, you may need fuss with it a bit to get a config.ini and or wgaf.cfg file that will work how you want with your specific hardware.

Great,

the pointer to this file was just what I needed. The mappings differ, but now I could get my Pad working. Unfortunatly L2 seems to also be menu or start or something. It always forces a pop-up menu with the option, even with other buttons mapped.. -_-
So for those who are going with a nVidia Shield K1, USB2Go and a DS4, perhaps this translation will work for you, too...

DS4 -> VO
L1 -> L2
L2 -> Back (I guess, can't figue since VO always leavs key binding)
R1 -> R2
R2 -> Start
x -> JoyButtonX
sq -> JoyButtonY
tri -> L1
o -> JoyButtonA
Share -> Thump Left
R3/Options -> Thump Right (Both buttons are treated as one)
L3 -> Select

For those findign it easier the other way round:

VO -> DS4
L2 -> L1
Back -> L2
R2 -> R1
Start -> R2
JoyButtonX -> x
JoyButtonY -> square
L1 -> triangle
JoyButtonA -> o
Thump Left -> Share
Thump Right -> Options
Select -> L3
Thump Right -> R3
