Use your phone or PC as a PS4 controller everywhere: in the menus, and in every game.

The controller on a phone

Control4Free is a GoldHEN payload that adds up to four virtual DualShock 4 controllers through the PS4's own
virtual controller service, the one Remote Play uses. The console sees a real controller, so it works in the
menus and at sign-in, and each one is assigned to a user through the PS4's own "Who's using this controller?"
screen.

Highlights

  • Works on the home screen, at sign-in and in every game, with no per-game setup
  • Up to 4 controllers, from any mix of phones, tablets and PCs
  • Touch, a keyboard, or your Xbox, DualSense or Switch Pro pad through the phone or PC
  • An app on the PS4 with the address, a QR code and the controller count, plus auto-start through GoldHEN's AutoRun
  • Input sent the moment it arrives, at a DualShock 4's own 4 ms rate

Install

  1. Download Control4Free-1.0.0.pkg below and install it with GoldHEN's Package Installer.
  2. Open Control4Free from Library → Applications and press Cross.
  3. Scan the QR code, pick a controller, and choose your user on the TV.
