This tool allows you to use your PS4 controller on your PC as a Xinput device. Much easier to use than X360ce as it only needs to run in the background. The beta version supports rumble only through USB and no BT support. BT support works in the older version posted in the link in the thread. You can also download another tool to use the touchpad as a mouse if you may.

They need to get the shyt working on MotioninJoy

if you arent trying to spend too much more then replace that processor (its not that good, its already outdated), spend an extra 100 and get him

and you can find a similiar priced motherboard thatll work with that processor

itll increase the performance of that PC you posted by a lot... right now the computer you listed would struggle to run Battlefield 4 on medium settings without frame dips. The processor is bottle necking the rest of the computer.

If it cant run a game that came out already at medium settings, then itll struggle to run games coming up in the next few years on low-medium as well (and kind of defeats the purpose since you are getting him it now). Spend the extra $100, itll be worth it, and then later if he needs to make it more powerful the processor will be the leasto f his concerns he can just upgrade the RAM and video card. 4 GB of RAM is also pushing it today, but thats something he can add himself later as well.

Spend the extra $100 tho bruh

i c/s this 100%.
the i5 3570k is a great cpu, the AMD you posted is not a good choice.

Whatever y'all do.... don't listen let this bamma here and let him build you a pc.... it will be trash and overpriced.
A clown.... you still trolling people with your trash PC builds

This is easier than motionjoy. You just literally install a driver that comes with that file and then you run the program and that's that. It works as a 360 controller. It's in beta form but it works fine whereas Motionjoy you had to always do an extra step or two to get the controller drivers loaded.

Man, I'm really really perplexed at Crysis refusing to boot. It's been months and this shyt doesn't work. I don't know what changed but no matter WHAT I try, the shyt just crashes at boot. This is a fresh install, no mods no nothing and no dice. I looked all over the steam forums and tried every fix and none of them worked. Wtf?? I really feel like I wasted my money.

Edit: It works!! wtf?? I literally verified game cache and redid the 64 bit fix and the shyt started up. Now my save file though
And now I want mods. I hate PC gaming.

I dont know if its because of shadow play or because I was trying to record battlefield 4 but sometimes it would make my game play choppy (not every time though)

I wonder if because my GPU only has 2 GB of memory

I noticed some choppiness too. I think it probably works best if you don't have it recording to the same hdd you're playing the game on. hopefully it'll get better as they optimize it
