It seems that some non-xinput controllers do not work concurrently with Retrobat and MAME64 at the same time (like PS4 wireless controllers I am testing)

(the wired non-xinput controllers do not have this issue, it all works fine).

 

but I switched back to the other emulator (runs via Retroarch,  Libretro/MAME) and everything works fine with both wired and PS4 wireless controllers.

I am using now RetroArch/Libretro MAME as emulator and works well. 

 

but for the MAME64 emulator, by using DS4Windows then via Retrobat the wireless PS4 controllers work in MAME64  (configured as X360 / XINPUT controllers), but the HidePS4 does not work yet. 

See more details here:  https://retrobat.forumgaming.fr/t1924-retrobat-mame64-ti99-ti-99-4a-bluetooth-wireless-controllers-not-working-in-mame64?nid=1#11639

(note: by using USB Wired controllers I do not have the issue with MAME64)

 

 

I still need to sort out if the profiling works?

>> MAME64 emulator is compatible natively with XInput controllers.

>> When using another type of controllers (or to simply use a specific mapping for a game), it is possible to perform a dedicated mapping within the emulator.
