What's New in v1.4.0

Safe Global [default] Installation

You can now safely enable xbox_controller.prx under [default] in /data/GoldHEN/plugins.ini:

  • The plugin automatically checks the running process Title ID (CUSA, PCAS, PLAS).
  • Non-game processes (Homebrew apps like Apollo Save Tool, Itemzflow, GoldHEN Cheats Manager, PS4-Explorer, and system daemons) are cleanly bypassed without installing hooks.
  • Eliminates crashes when launching homebrew applications with the plugin enabled globally.

Dual Operating Modes (Single Player & Local Co-Op)

  • Single Player (MERGE - P1): When only one user is logged in, the Xbox controller merges directly with Player 1 (DualShock 4). Analog sticks are merged smoothly and buttons are combined.
  • Local Multiplayer (SECONDARY - P2): When 2 or more users are logged in, the Xbox controller is automatically assigned to Player 2, operating as an independent controller.
  • Mode Toggle Combo: Switch between Player 1 (Merged) and Player 2 (Secondary) at any time during gameplay by pressing:
    LB + RB + Back + Start

Central Xbox Guide / Home Button Mapping

  • The central Xbox Guide / Home button is now mapped to Touchpad Click (DS4_BUTTON_TOUCHPAD), opening maps, journals, and inventories instantly in games (e.g., GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, The Witcher 3, etc.).
  • Eliminates watchdog freezes and system error CE-36329-3.

Polling, Hotplug & Connection Fixes

  • Fixed USB interrupt transfer timeout handling (SCE_USBD_ERROR_TIMEOUT) that previously caused an infinite connect/disconnect notification loop.
  • Full USB hotplugging support: disconnect and reconnect controllers at any time while playing.
  • Dedicated 250 Hz (4ms) low-latency polling thread.
  • Immediate on-screen notifications indicating whether the controller joined as [Player 1] or [Player 2].
  • Dynamic executable memory trampoline allocation (sceKernelMmap within +-2 GB) replacing static .bss trampolines for reliable function hooking.

Installation & Setup

  1. Copy xbox_controller.prx to /data/GoldHEN/plugins/ on your PS4.
  2. Edit /data/GoldHEN/plugins.ini and add: 
    [default]
/data/GoldHEN/plugins/xbox_controller.prx
  3. Launch any game — your Xbox or compatible controller will be detected automatically.
