Mine works in general but not when I launch Emudeck. It's the same every time and I always make the same mistake, but like you said I just got to remember to unplug my PS4 from the power

Hi, it's a great video but I still can not make it. My both ds4 worked with my pc, they do connect via bluetooth, but they never appear in steam options. Steam is up to date, as well as other things. I used ds4 with steam to play Uncrashed, now I try the same with BeamNG and nothing, nada, nic, null. Only touchscreen works in general on ds4. I am annoyed.

Did everything you said in the video!
Try Dualshock PlayStation (bluetooth)and Xbox (cable)
Works! But when I play Skyrim on my Steam Deck using a dock to my Samsung Smart Serie6 tv.
After a few minutes both controllers do nothing!
All settings are fine.
Just check the settings for Steam Deck and the controller!
Can anybody give me advice?

This didn't help unfortunately. i use my ps4 controller strictly wired because my pc doesn't have bluetooth. it worked great before, then stopped detecting after i had to replace one of my harddrives

i watched like 13 other videos that never recommended to just try an other cable... I don't know how i just didn't try it on my own

Ok I did all that but steam still wont let me play chrono trigger in the future when you need to put in codes. Its on purpose Im just going to sue them.
