How would I use a DS4 (wired) on Linux to play old games on RetroArch? (lemmy.world)

On W*ndows I used DS4Wind*ws, and I have no issues with Steam, but how can I use it to play with RetoArch and Lutris?

Is DS4DRV the way?

I think you don't need any special software, the linux kernel recognizes DS4 OOTB as a game controller, I tried it with Flycast (standalone, not libretro's) and it was just plug and play

Can confirm. Works out of the box with retroarch.
