DSMotion released – Motion controls for your PSTV with your DS3/DS4

Aurora

I'm a girl that's liked technology from day 1. Mostly interested in the PSVita/PSP scene but I've always modded my stuff when it's possible, that is :) Contact me via DM at @KawaiiAuroraA on Twitter if you have any questions/concerns about my articles or if you have any article requests.

    Good to see the community expanding the playable library on the PSTV – it’s getting the love that Sony never seemed to bother with.

        I can finally beat this game. There was one part that I couldn’t get past no matter how much I tried to game the physics.

    if the vita/TV community can do this supports.. why can’t SONY did?.. or they just abandoned the device -.-

    • nightwishfan1 says:

      They pretty much did as you said. Abandoned the device. As for why they didn’t add this support……They claimed difficulty in adding most vita functions to a device that doesn’t have all of the vita hardware. Although those are completely capable of being worked around as hackers are showing.

      The only thing I can’t wait for is when most plugins are optimized for retail games as well as dumps. It’s do-able. Just depends on the work ethic of the plugin developer.

    amazing just how much the community has to do to fix what sony just pushed aside, I have pirated every sony made and published game on vita that I want cus *** them they do not deserve money on a platform they abandoned and left for dead,

    I love the vita community, keen to see what comes in the future.

    This is great.
    But, isn’t more convenient to make the Vita do this all? What I mean is that if connecting a DS3/DS4 is doable, why hasn’t been doable with the Vita itself? It has Bluetooth connection too. And many PSTV users also have a Vita.
    I would buy a PSTV if the Vita was able to be used as input for it. That’ll be great.

    • G4nz says:

      For Sony Vita is nothing more than a PS4 Addon, and PSTV is nothing more than a TV streaming box. They just don’t care about anything else

      • Demian says:

        I wasn’t talking about that lame brand owner. But, about those great plugin devs out there. They can do things that lame brand owner can’t and/or don’t want/care to do as they only think on their income.

    Does this work on the normal PsVita 1000? , my giroscope is not working sooooo maybe here is some hope for me

    • OperationNT says:

      A limitation I put on my github wasn’t reported on this article:
      “It doesn’t work well on classic PS Vita with “ds4vita”: for an unknown reason, motion control samples seems to be too much spaced over time.”
      So you can try, you will get “some” results…

    • neoman4426 says:

      There are plugins for connecting certain Bluetooth controllers on the handheld Vitas, try one of those out in conjunction with this, worst case scenario it doesn’t work, you’ve wasted a few minutes of your time, and can put in a feature request. Best case, it just works

    This is incredible. Thank you so much!!

    Exciting times! Things are moving forward quickly!

    Pan has been hacked

  11. bullet force says:

    Sony didn’t want PSTV owners to play all Vita games they owned so they didn’t bother doing workarounds for certain PSVita-only features
