Revision as of 11:13, 9 November 2024

VitaOxiPad is a client-server application that turns your PS Vita into (almost) a DualShock 4. The PS Vita acts as a server to which the PC client will be connected within the local network (WiFi).

The server part is written in C++, the client part is written in Rust.

Features

Buttons.
Sticks.
L1 and R1 (emulates a full press).
Select and Start.
Accelerometer and gyroscope (a little less accurate than the DualShock 4).
DualShock 4 digitizer emulation (emulates up to two-finger simultaneous input).
Configuration (you can choose from ready-made configurations).
DS4Windows support (You need to enable Moonlight support[*]).

[*] - Moonlight support can be found in the schmaldeo DS4Windows fork. This option can be found in Settings > Device Options > Virtual Controller Support.

Installation

The server has to be installed on the PS Vita and the client on the PC.

Requirements for Windows: ViGEmBus

User guide

$ VitaOxiPad-x64.exe --help
Usage: VitaOxiPad-x64.exe <ip> [-p <port>] [-c <config>] [--polling-interval <polling-interval>] [-d]

Create a virtual controller and fetch its data from a Vita over the network.

Positional Arguments:
  ip                IP address of the Vita to connect to

Options:
  -p, --port        port to connect to (default: 5000)
  -c, --config      buttons and touchpads config (default: standart)
  --polling-interval
                    polling interval in microseconds (minimum = 4000)
  -d, --debug       enable debug mode
  -v, --version     show version information
  --help            display usage information

Configurations

There are currently 4 DualShock 4 configurations emulations that can be selected at client startup:

Configurations name	PS Vita L1\R1	PS Vita front digitizer	PS Vita rear digitizer
`standart`	L1\R1	L3\R3	L2\R2
`alt_triggers`	L2\R2	L3\R3	L1\R1
`rear_touchpad`	L1\R1	upper area - L2\R2, lower area - L3\R3	DualShock 4 digitizer
`front_touchpad`	L1\R1	DualShock 4 digitizer	upper area - L2\R2, lower area - L3\R3

To better understand the emulation behavior, you can run 3D Controller Overlay after connecting your PS Vita.
