I think sc-controller should be able to do that. It was originally developed for the Steam Controller. But as far as I know it works with others as well.

Gotta tell us the game if you want a good answer.

Steam Input should be able to make a dualsense work for basically any steam game. Have you tried this controller in another Steam game? I'm wondering if the mod is the problem.

@Blisterexe Get a Mayflash Magic NS-Lite, configure it as XInput and pair your DS Controller with it. Works like a charm for me.

thats a good idea, but im not willing to spend money to be able to play one game with a controller

@Blisterexe Fair. I make lots of use of it, connect Switch Pro to PC, connect TWO controllers to one player on the Switch, etc, but yeah, YMMV.

Haven't done this myself, but supposedly you can do it with xboxdrv using the "--mimic-xpad" flag
