Orbital PS4 Emulator Gets DualShock 4 Support, Latest Demo by AlexAltea

Last year we saw a PlayStation 4 Virtualization and Experiments in PS4 Emulation demonstration of the Orbital PS4 Emulator, and recently developer @AlexAltea shared on Twitter the latest video demo from his YouTube Channel featuring DualShock 4 Controller support!

From the video's description, to quote: Experiments in PS4 emulation.

Current status: After last update, we have implemented the Aeolia XHCI device (USB 3.0) to get past the "Connect DualShock" message by connecting an actual gamepad to the PS4 VM via host passthrough.

There were many issues in our way there and we have fixed those with the invaluable help of jarves. As a future goal, we also want to implement a virtual USB device for the DualShock 4 (as opposed to using an actual physical device).

In addition, this video will give an overview of the current status of Orbital and give details on another ongoing effort: orbital-ng, our future replacement for orbital-qemu.
