For windows 10 and 11, download and install the successor of SCP Toolkit, which is DsHidMini (https://docs.nefarius.at/projects/DsHidMini/How-to-Install/) instead.

@Thomas, sadly through this method no, there are some limitations with it on the driver side, ig you want to map all inputs without any issues I would suggest an input mapper, there are various open source options that for your use case will work great

Hi, just installed it for a PS1 controller and it works like a charm.
I tried to play GTA V and it recognizes almost all buttons.
Is there a way to map some of them?
