Dualsense Xinput emulation
Any way to emulate my PS5 Controller as Xbox controller to use in heroic games launcher to play old games that don't have native support for it? I tried adding shortcut to steam already but it seems Arkham Asylum dont like that even though I applied a community layout on it :/ , I'm using CachyOS & installed Heroic Launcher thru it's own "gaming package" they provided which include steam Lutris etc etc, I like Heroic cuz I found it very easy to setup.

As long as you're running it from within Steam, Steam Input should work. It frequently doesn't, however, which is why I personally stick to xinput compatible controllers and avoid these kinds of headaches
Oh, wait, I think I know what might be up: Have you replaced the stock launcher with one that lets you skip it or told Heroic or Steam to launch the main game binary as a custom executable, bypassing the launcher entirely?
IME, Steam Input typically only attaches to the first program you launch, ignoring anything that gets chain loaded afterward. I'm pretty sure that's why I could never get it to work with my Epic version of Fallen Order (which launches both Epic and the EA App before you even get to FO itself), but my GOG version of NMS, which I set up to launch directly from the exe, worked fine when I tried it with a DS4.
