Venom-X4 PS5 support note
For Venom-X4 user to play SOME of the PS5 games on the new Playstation 5 console, Tuact released the firmware
V6.0.2 BETA. With the new Venom-X4 firmware V6.0.2, you would need a 3rd party PS4 controller attached.
This is because the PS5 console encrypts the USB data stream, none of the DualShock4 and DualSense5 controller
can be used for licensing where both SONY original controller can be used on Venom-X4 to play PS5 games although
the DS4 controller still can be used for PS4 games on PS5.
The 3rd party PS4 controller solution allows user to be able to play SOME PS5 game but NOT all the PS5 games.
The 3rd party PS4 compatible controller is attached to Venom-X4 for licensing the USB port and get around the
license restriction.
Important:
Due to some of the PS5 games ONLY accept the DualSense controller to play, the 3rd party controller solution described
above will NOT work with all the PS5 games, there is no way around to get it resolved. Thus, before you buying the following
controller, user have to check the game to make sure the game you like to play MUST accept 3rd party PS4 compatible
controller.
If the game won't accept the 3rd party controller but supports the native mouse/keyboard, you may take the advantage of
the Venom-X4's PC mode where you still can play with the Venom-X4 wand and mouse, then you DO NOT need any of the
3rd party controller listed below.
Supported 3rd party controller supported by the firmware V6.0.2 :
1. Hori PAD4 for PS4 :
2. Hori PAD4 Plus controller for PS4:
3. Hori Fight Commander for PS4:
4. Hori Mini gamepad for PS4: Recommended (cheaper option)
5. Hori ONYX Plus Wireless: Recommend for Headset supporting
Note: The Hori ONYX have two models, the model without Plus doesn't have wired data capability, it can't be used with Venom X4 on PS5.
Make sure to get the "Plus" version.
6. NACON Wired Compact for PS4: Supports headset
The Venom-X4 with 3rd party PS4 controller would work on PS4 mode, you should chose PS4 platform and PS4 game profile
when configuring with the Setup software and Android App.
