DualShock model identifier software

[xorloser]

DS4Id is a little tool to help identify a DualShock 4 controller model without having to take it apart. You just run the software on your Windows PC, connect the DS4 to the PC with a USB cable and click on the Identify button.

This will help choose a suitable DS4 device for use with various controller mods.

I would like to make a list of all possible combinations of hardware and software versions, so if you run this on a controller and the info doesn't match an existing entry in the list below, please add it in a reply post and I will update the list. I will also update the tool to correctly identify the board type (ie JDM-0XX) based on the hardware version.

Ok where have you and this program been all my life

[popahly]

I would like to thank you for this wonderful work..

This takes me to ask you a question. Where are the analog points on the motherboard to make bridges for the damaged base points.

[MCorgano]

Someone made a software tool, so you decided to reply asking about a hardware question?

Not saying they don't know the answer, but that's kind of hijacking a thread. If you have a question about test points or where traces go, make a new thread. The PCB scans thread might already have the info you need as well.

The download link does not work for me

The link is fine. Try another browser or right click and save link as and/or turn off whatever spam/virus blocker you have running.

This tool would have come to so much use for me had I seen this post one year ago xd

One thing to note for future users: when DS4Windows is running, the tool identifies any controller as a JDM-001. I suppose that's the board being emulated in their software. You have to close DS4Windows or any other similar software before running this tool. After closing DS4Windows it correctly identified a JDM-055 I tried it with.

So presumably CLONE-8301 is a knock-off?  I have an old PS4 controller that is reporting as that.  If it is a knock-off, it is a VERY good one.  The motherboard doesn't look quite like any pictures I can find in the internet, but it looks and feels like a genuine controller (I've used it for many, MANY hours).  I also have a genuine 2nd gencontroller (purchased from Target) and they feel and play very similar. It even has (what claims to be) a Sony battery inside - inside the plastic case, not a bare lipo like I see elsewhere.

But the main board looks a little strange.  The main chip is not a BGA, but has pins on all 4 sides.  And the soldering job on the power connector and potentiometers is kinda garbage:

I DID run into trouble getting it to pair to a particular firmware version on an 8bitdo adapter for the Switch.

With this software it identifies as
