Description

I'm on windows and i use the 0.9.13 version.

My ps4 controller doesn't work anymore (just 1/2 hours ago it was fine) i obviously checked it, and the controller works fine, both on the pc and on my ps4.
I wonder why it stopped working randomly and if anyone know how to fix this issue.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the controller failure on Windows with DeSmuME 0.9.13, then inspect the emulator's controller configuration and input handling. Compare behavior with the same PS4 controller outside the emulator. Done means identifying the cause and restoring controller input, with the fix verified on the reported setup.
