DS4 controller switches from XInput pad 0 to 1 when reconnecting

[Lord of Beans]

This happens to every game I play. The controller is connected (wired) and it disconnects and reconnects, and when it reconnects the controller switches from Xinput pad 0 to Xinput pad 1. This issue as far as I know can't be fixed and I tried connecting a second controller which didn't work either. I'm playing MGS3 and I REALLY don't want to go through the Ocelot bossfight again.

when I test xinput 0 it only shows question marks instead of the values and xinput 1 shows the values of the controller (as seen in the attached pic).

Edit: The only way to solve it is to restart the emulator

DS4 isn't xinput by default.
are you using a wrapper ? or some other DS4 drivers ?

The thing is when I go to its settings the controller inputs for both Xinput pad 0 and DX Controller (XBOX 360 for windows) and when it reconnects sinput changes from pad 0 to pad 1 and I guess it doesnt receive from  DX Controller.

This just gave me an idea, what if I disabled xinput and just used direct input?

you can't connect a DS4 controller to windows alone.
you must install something. either a wrapper, either 3rd party drivers, or maybe something else.
what did you use ?

I use DS4 Windows, it connects your DS4 controller and windows identifies it as an xbox 360 controller.
