## What it is
A Windows driver and XInput wrapper that lets Sony DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 controllers work with Windows games and applications. The project is explicitly unmaintained since 2016, with DsHidMini recommended as the modern replacement.

## Use cases
- use a dualshock 4 controller on windows pc games
- connect ps3 controller via bluetooth to windows
- make dualshock controller appear as xbox 360 gamepad
- play steam games with a playstation controller on windows 7

## When to choose
- you are stuck on an old Windows version (7/8) where modern alternatives don't work
- you need the legacy Scarlet.Crush driver stack for compatibility with old setups

## When to avoid
- you run Windows 10 or newer - use DsHidMini instead
- you expect bug fixes, support, or new features
- you find it hosted anywhere other than the official GitHub releases
