DS4 is finicky sometimes with Directinput enabled and is best used with Xinput + Steam (Steam is recommended for all controllers).
Alternative for DS4 is Ryochan7/DS4Windows (not main DS4Windows).
Some general fixes and UI improvements.
Adds Reset Configuration to Input/Force Feedback configuration screens that resets the configuration for the selected control(s).
Adds Restore Defaults button to the General tab that deletes all LilyPad
Settings and bindings and resets to the default settings.
Adds double-click functionality to the PAD list on the General tab,
which will now send the user straight to the corresponding PAD tab.
The "L3 Toggles Turbo" hack has been removed and been replaced by a
bindable Turbo button on the Pad tabs. The Turbo function in the input
configuration has been renamed Rapid Fire.
Removes Ignore Key(hasn't functioned since LilyPad 0.9.9 (PCSX2 0.9.6)),
and "Send escape on window close" hack (unnecessary for PCSX2 and caused
issues with other emulators).
Adds a device select option that hides bindings and disables binding new
inputs from all non-selected devices on the bindings list. This also
avoids input conflict issues when one controller is recognized as
several devices through different APIs.
Updates the UI by reducing the height of the plugin window. This has
been achieved by removing some buttons below the diagnostics and
bindings list and incorporating those functions into the
lists(accessible by right-clicking in the list). The binding
configurations on the Pad tabs have been moved to a separate page, like
the Forcefeedback bindings, to separate the configuration from the
bindings.
Adds a skip deadzone option to the Pad tabs.
With the normal deadzone, if the control input value is below the
deadzone threshold, the input is ignored.
However, some controllers also benefit from shortening the input range
by skipping a deadzone.
