HHD for HTPC and Possible LACT Integration?

Seems like there were some updates to HHD to support external controllers based on latest GitHub changes.

I tried enabling HHD previously on a deck-Nvidia image and it worked but involved starting a service via the terminal. Is that still the process or is there another way to setup HHD for deck images on a PC?

Does external controller support still emulate an Xbox or Dualsense controller?

Currently I have an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller connected via 2.4GHz dongle. With this dongle the extra bumper buttons and gyro information is not passed onto steam and those buttons can’t be remapped and gyro can’t be used, I believe these are available when connected via Bluetooth. The gyro information is definitely still being sent to the PC with the dongle cause I can see it when looking
At the controller section under KDE. With the external controller support does HHD pass this through or is it only possible if it emulates a dualsense?

And also probably a future thing but it would be useful to have LACT integrated into HHD (especially since it supports AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs now it seems). Would allow for changes to GPU OC / under volt profiles while in game mode more easily.
