Yakuza Kiwami 2 PS4 button prompts for Xinput controllers

[Timo654]

UPDATE: Just use the pinned method, which works for more games than just Yakuza Kiwami 2. If you really want to use this method, you need to download the loose files and import them to ui.par using PARC Archive Importer.

This mod replaces the XBOX button prompts with PS4 ones.

It's made for the release version. It should also work with all future updates, but if it doesn't, I'll try to keep it updated.

1. Download the mod at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XaKmWTPLWqTvwwqs2DA9Nfhcy9a-8nFV

I've also included versions with No Letterbox Bars and with Black Letterbox bars.

2. Run the installer.

3. Browse to the installation path of Yakuza Kiwami 2 (default path is Steam/steamapps/common/Yakuza Kiwami 2)

4. Press the start button and wait. Wait a little until it finishes.

And that's it. Now you should have PS4 button prompts in game.

If you find any issues, please let me know in the comments.

Here is a funny story.

I just recently started playing this game; I'm using a DS4.

Since I've started playing not once did I look at the controller config for this game up until recently.

Yesterday, I decided to change the light intensity on my DS4, and likely I mucked around with a few other settings when I was there.

Started the game after this, and was totally jarred by being prompted with XBox controller buttons. I was going crazy because I wasn't sure if it was always the case that there are only XBox button prompts, or if before I started playing with these settings there actually were native DS4 button prompts and something has changed.

It turns out my memory was correct and that there were DS4 button prompts earlier (no modding done at all).

Here's what I did to get the native DS4 button prompts back (absolutely NO modding required):

BIG PICTURE>CONTROLLER SETTINGS> DISABLE PLAYSTATION CONFIGURATION SUPPORT

I'm using the official DS4 dongle but this might also help those using Bluetooth. When I mucked around with the DS4 light intensity I probably enabled the PS config support setting without realising.

thx for the mod worked like a charm even doe i use a ds4 controller i needed to do this, but all in all this guide is pretty bad written for everyone who has problems you have to download the PARC Archive Importer open it click on Open Archive then search for ui.par in your kiwami 2 folder and then click open files and import all the files in the folder you downloaded after that press inject and press save and overwrite the old file :D

You don't need to mod if your trying to get the PS4 buttons to show. See my previous post.

Are you using a DS4 with just bluetooth? Let us know how you're trying to connect.

In my case I'm using the official dongle, so perhaps the solution I mentioned won't work if your just using the DS4 and bluetooth.

If you've just tried the DS4 and bluetooth with no luck have you also tried testing using a USB cable?

What's interesting is that the person who recommended I try the instructions above was actually only using the DS4 and Bluetooth I believe (no DS4 dongle).

One other thing you can try (assuming you're using Windows) is go to Control Panel>Devices and Printers>Dual Shock 4. Right Click on this and select "Game Controller Settings" then select Dualshock 4, click Properties button, then on the Settings tab click "reset to default". That's help me when I've had issues with other games.

Ok, good luck. No you don't, Big Picture mode is only needed in this case to adjust controller settings.

when i only plug the ps4 controller it does not work, only if i used a ds4 tool which reads it as an xbox controller, is it because i turned off the configuration support?

I see. If I recall correctly the DS4Windows tool needs to be completely disabled (perhaps uninstalled) for the buttons to show. I believe it emulates an Xbox360 controller so this will cause Yakuza K2 to default to XB360 button layout. It probably also interferes with the Steam BPM controller settings.

Give that a try and see what happens. You shouldn't need the DS4Windows tool at all.

See if you can connect the controller using the instructions at the bottom of this thread.
