Install / Update

Windows (DS4Windows)

Install with the signed DS4Windows all-in-one installer,
or use Settings > VIIPER Virtual Controller Support >
Install / Repair. The standalone Windows script is
developer-only so it cannot create a competing backend.

Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DualSenseClient/VIIPER/main/scripts/install.sh | sh
