I have a suggestion that might allow PS3 and PS4 controllers to work together.
So I was fooling around, and I found that both sets of drivers seem to work fine at the same time, although the PS3 pad had to be wired since it would take over the bluetooth driver. Both controllers seemed to work, but when I moved a trigger or analog stick, it would basically oscillate back and fourth between the value that I moved to, and the resting value. So it seems to be taking both sets of inputs at the same time.
So the obvious solution would be to somehow exclude certain xinput slots in the DS4 driver. So if you have two PS3 controllers connected, they would take up slots 1 and 2. If you wanted to use two PS4 controllers as well, somehow telling your driver to exclude slots 1 and 2 with check boxes or something, should allow this to work.
I only have one of each controller, so I cant try this, but if you have 2 PS4, and 1 PS3 controller, you should be able to test if this works. Using the PS3 controller taking slot 1, and two PS4 controllers taking slot 1 and 2. If the 2nd PS4 controller works properly, and the PS3 controller works but has the oscillating I mentioned, that should mean that this will work.
Please try to get this working. I'd love to play local co-op games, and I don't really want to spend money on a second PS4 pad until there's a sale of some sort, which hasn't really happened yet.
