Would it be possible to change a ps4 controllers firmware so that it will appear to a switch as if its a pro controller?
So that instead of having a bluetooth dongle plugged into switches USB port, you could maybe connect a ps4 controller to your switch through its built in bluetooth.

The processor has been exploited and the code dumped. https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2018/ps4-ds4/

In theory someone could try to figure out how to change it so that the switch recognised it as a pro controller.

Although it's possible there is something in the bluetooth hardware that would make it impossible.

I suspect we'll see a module for atmosphere eventually that just allows you to pair a ds3/4.

Having a ds4 that no longer works with a ps4, would be kinda annoying.

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID
