Support for Mac about dualshock HOT 7 CLOSED

main.cc requires Windows.h. It would need to be modified to handle other platforms.

Currently, building via node-gyp build on macOS fails with errors, e.g.:

../main.cc:18:26: error: unknown type name 'DWORD'
char *eCode(string name, DWORD hr) {
                         ^
../main.cc:19:2: error: unknown type name 'LPSTR'
        LPSTR buf = nullptr; size_t size = FormatMessageA(FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM...
        ^
...

@danimesq If I pick up a DualSense controller in the future I would love to add support for them and the new features I've heard cool stuff about, but I don't currently have one to test with, nor a PS5 which are still being scalped to hell and back at the moment.

That said I haven't abandoned the project I just didn't have any issues with it for my own purposes so I've been lazy, lol. If someone would open a pull request with fixes that would be excellent, otherwise I can look into this next time I have some time.

My modified node-hid lib is probably out of date by now anyhow.

@Pecacheu I'm not sure if you receive notifications for new issues. Please let me know, if there is any way I can support.

Sorry I never see these things... Github is a bit sparratic on notifying me, IDK why.

Anyway, the SBC is needed for audio and on some controllers rumble / LED. They seem to behave slightly differently so it depends on the revision I think. But yeah, they're usually better behaved with the SBC data.

But I remember it working on my Mac, I don't know why the SBC lib wont compile. Maybe I was using a different one at the time.

Oh, it's probably because of HidD_Set_Output_Report. The modified version of node-hid I'm using has a second argument to hid.write, which uses HidD_Set_Output_Report to write the Bluetooth data instead of the normal WriteFile approach. From my understanding, it uses a special message type, which the DS4 is looking for.

The MacOS HID library probably has a similar function, but I don't know what that is. The node-hid fork I used only implemented the change on the windows version.

Any progress on this? Would be appreciated, allot! 👍 I'm stuck at 3.1.1

Its not a problem on GitHub's side; simply, @Pecacheu have abandonned this project.

This package still have a lot of potential, such as getting support to the DualSense gamepad.
