ds4vita is a plugin that allows you to play with your PS Vita using a DualShock 4 as controller.

Installation

Copy ds4vita.skprx to ux0(ur0):tai/.

Add the plugin to tai/config.txt (change to ur0 if you store the plugin there)

*KERNEL
ux0:tai/ds4vita.skprx

You need to refresh the config.txt by rebooting or through VitaShell.

User guide

Using it for the first time (pairing the controller):

• Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices.
• Press SHARE+PS on the DS4 for about 3-4 seconds, until the lightbar blinks very quickly.
• The DS4 will then connect and be paired (don't press over it when it appears).

Once paired, just press the PS button and it will connect to the Vita.

Note: If you use Mai, don't put the plugin inside ux0:plugins/ because Mai will load all stuff you put in there.
