i want to update the firmware on my dualsense controller and installed the necessary app on a vm. it opens but when i plug in the controller the app seems to crash. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting but it keeps crashing. does anyone have any potential fixes?


I’m not familiar with this app, but have you tried running it under Linux with WINE instead of in a Windows VM?
Wine does not have system level USB access.
No firmware updates or low-level communication will work.
That’s why no-one is running the official razer, corsair, logitech etc. mouse/keyboard whatever programs on linux.
it tried doing that at first but it requires .net 8 to even run and to be honest im not familiar enough with wine to be able to install multiple programs to the same wine prefix
Winetricks is your friend and makes that stupid easy. Gui program that let’s you just click to install common things like .net or vc++
