Download dsz.exe and run it. There is nothing to install. It replaces 0.3.3 in place, and your settings and profiles carry over.

The virtual Xbox controller stays player 1

  • When a game switches DSZ to DualSense mode, the virtual Xbox 360 controller is no longer unplugged. It stays plugged in, idle and hidden from games, so it keeps its XInput slot, and it presses Xbox buttons (a PS → Xbox Guide mapping) instead of a separate helper controller. When the game closes, the same controller takes over again as player 1.
  • Switching into DualSense mode is quicker, and the Xbox button works straight away, with no warm-up.
  • New setting on the Virtual controller page: Keep the Xbox 360 controller as player 1 (on by default). Turned off, DSZ unplugs the Xbox controller as before and uses the helper controller for Xbox buttons; the helper now steps aside when the Xbox controller comes back, so that still gets player 1.
  • Programs that already had the Xbox controller open before a game started (Steam, for example) keep seeing it while it waits, as an idle controller.

Requirements (the same as 0.3.3)

  • Windows 10 or 11. A DualSense, DualSense Edge or DualShock 4, over USB or Bluetooth.
  • Virtual controllers need usbip-win2 and HidHide. The Virtual controller page installs either in one click.
  • The exe isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
