v0.3.9

Download dsz.exe and run it. There is nothing to install. It replaces 0.3.8 in place, and your settings and profiles carry over.

Kaspersky no longer flags DSZ: updates go through your browser

  • Kaspersky flagged 0.3.8 as a "Trojan-Downloader" and deleted it. It wasn't one, and no other antivirus flagged it: the alarm came from the way 0.3.8 updated itself, downloading a program and starting it, which is what downloader malware does.
  • DSZ no longer downloads programs itself. Download in Settings → Updates has your browser download the new dsz.exe, so it's scanned like any other download. DSZ finds it in your Downloads folder, checks it against the fingerprint GitHub publishes for it, and then offers Install and restart. If your browser saved it somewhere else, I saved it somewhere else… lets you point to it.
  • If Kaspersky deleted 0.3.8, download this version by hand. If you're on 0.3.8, its update button still works.

Portable: settings beside dsz.exe

  • Settings → Backup & restore has a new switch, Keep settings beside dsz.exe. It moves your settings, profiles and log into a dsz-data folder next to the app and restarts DSZ, so the whole thing can live on a USB stick or in a folder you sync. Switching it off moves them back to %APPDATA%\DSZ.
  • A dsz-data folder next to dsz.exe is all it takes: making an empty one by hand also works, starting with fresh settings.

Gyro for emulators: Dolphin, Cemu, Ryujinx and yuzu-family

  • A new Emulator motion card in Settings turns on a motion server that speaks the cemuhook (DSU) protocol, the one DS4Windows offers. It's off unless you turn it on.
  • With it on, Dolphin can use the controller's gyro and accelerometer for Wii Remote motion and pointing, Cemu for the Wii U GamePad, and Ryujinx and yuzu-family emulators for Switch motion controls. The card says where to switch it on in each emulator: the address is 127.0.0.1, port 26760.
  • Buttons and sticks still come from your virtual controller as usual. Turn the profile's gyro mouse off while playing, or the gyro moves the mouse as well.
  • Up to four controllers, in the order they connected. DualSense, DualSense Edge and DualShock 4.

Requirements (the same as 0.3.8)

  • 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.
