Welcome to Version 3 Beta Testing

Ahoy there! 👋 If you can read this you're most probably part of the DsHidMini Version 3 Beta crew, welcome!

Please read this article thoroughly before continuing to use the software or asking questions about it.

Participation rules

The dev team is small, like, really small, so we have no time for any BS. If you want to help us find and fix bugs, some rules are inevitable or the ride won't be any fun.

  • Participating in a Beta implies you are somewhat comfortable with advanced Windows/PC usage and able to solve problems on your own. Do not use the Beta releases if you just want to get gaming ASAP, use the stable version 2 releases instead!
  • Before asking questions about what new features are available or which bugs were fixed check both the open and closed issues and PRs on GitHub first! We know reading is annoying but so is repeating answering the same questions over and over again to us.

Make sure to have the new ControlApp tool

Version 3 uses a completely different configuration system so the old DSHMC.exe can not be used with version 3.

  • You can download the latest build of the new control app from here
  • You don't need to have the ControlApp open for DsHidMini to work. Only use it to monitor and configure DsHidMini controllers, so keep it in a convenient location for easy access
    • ControlApp requires the .NET Desktop Runtime 8 to be able to run. To check whether you already have it, simply try opening the ControlApp — It will either open normally or prompt you to install .NET Desktop Runtime 8

Important facts

  • The mandatory redirect to this page will NOT be removed until a stable public release becomes available.
  • The documentation in this site for Version 3 is still being built.
  • Manually check for updates regularly while the auto-update infrastructure is still being built:

👉 You can follow development progress and chats about the solution on our Discord. I leave finding it as an exercise to the user 😉
