HOWTO: Official PS4 Remote Play with FULL DS4 controller emulation.
Post Body

This Guide no longer works. I recommend you use qoo02255's guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/c43cul/updated_guide_2019_for_gpd_win_win_2_playing_ps4s/

Hey guys, This is something I have been trying to figure out for a while, and now that I have it working, I thought I would share with everyone. My GPD Win is running the windows that came installed on it, with a little tweaking. This guide will allow you to have your GPD Win gamepad Emulate a Sony DualShock 4 controller. doing this will allow you to run the PS4 Remote Play windows app and stream PS4 games from you PS4 to your GPD Win.

First and most importantly, all of this is possible because of the AMAZING work of NefariusMaximus. so if you enjoy this, PLEASE go over to his site https://vigem.org/ and click the donate button.

the new ViGEm installer is all done through PowerShell (Don't let it scare you, it's not that bad).

  1. Open up a Powershell window with elevated privileges by right clicking on powershell and selecting run as administrator (elevated privileges is needed to install the Joystick emulation driver)

  2. First we need to register where powershell needs to download the ViGEm from, so copy and past the following line in to powershell and run it:

    Register-PSRepository -Name nuget.vigem.org -SourceLocation https://nuget.vigem.org/ -InstallationPolicy Trusted

    This command might ask for confirmation to update NuGet, please confirm to do so:

  3. Now we install the Software to your system from the repository (run the following)

    Install-Module ViGEmManagementModule -Repository nuget.vigem.org

  4. Install the Driver from the Software (run one line at a time)

    Install-ViGEmBusDeviceDriver

    Add-ViGEmBusDevice

    Install-ViGEmBusDeviceDriver

  5. Run Get-ViGEmBusDevice to confirm the driver has been installed, it should look something like:

    DevicePath : \?\ROOT#SYSTEM#0004#{96E42B22-F5E9-42F8-B043-ED0F932F014F}

    InstanceId : ROOT\SYSTEM\0004

    DeviceName : Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus

    DriverVersion : 1.14.1.0

  6. Now we need the VDX tool from ViGEm so that we can turn on Emulation of a DualShock4. You can download the VDX_x64.exe from https://downloads.vigem.org/stable/latest/windows/x86_64/VDX_x86_x64_latest.zip https://downloads.vigem.org/other/paraly/ (Thank you paraIy for this custom VDX app)

  7. Now we have to install the Remote play app... and IMHO, this is the hardest part. the Remote Play app can't be installed directly on the GPD Win due to the installer needing 1024x768 resolution display. so, you have 2 options:

    A. Plug in an HDMI monitor with a 1080p resolution, Download the Remote Play app from https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/ and install it directly on the GPD Win (Thanks commiecozy).

    B. On a different Windows computer, Download the Remote Play app from https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/ and install it on this 2nd computer and pay attention to where it installs (it should be something like C:\Program Files(x86)\Sony\Remote Play). then Copy over all the files to the same location on your GPD Win.

  8. Run the VDX_64.exe app. Using the touch screen, select DualShock 4 in the top pull down menu, and then click "connect" with your finger.

  9. Run the PS4 RemotePlay app, and run through the setup process.

  10. Enjoy playing PS4 on your GPD Win

Best I can tell, there is no way to emulate the touchpad at this time. also, to use the PS button, Tap the screen, and then double tap the PS button on the screen.

Thanks to paraIy working with NefariusMaximus (https://www.reddit.com/r/gpdwin/comments/7rsic9/ps4_remote_play_with_working_touch_and_ps_button/) We now have Touch and PS button Emulation. the Select/Back button Emulates pressing the Touchpad, and the Xbox button emulates the PS button.

if you ever need to uninstall the ViGEm driver, run the following: Get-ViGEmBusDevice | Remove-ViGEmBusDevice

Hope this helps someone who has been trying to get this working like me.
