PSController
Version 1.5.3
Shows PlayStation button icons (✕ ○ □ △, L1/R1/L2/R2, L3/R3) instead of Xbox ones.
The full icon set:
Only you need it.
Install
Use the installer, or install MelonLoader (x64, 0.7.x) into the game folder, run the game once, then copy PSControllerRuntime.dll from this patch's release into the game's Mods folder.
Controller setup
Use DS4Windows so your PS4/PS5 controller is read reliably:
- Set the output to Xbox 360. Don't use DualShock 4 output: L1 registers as LT and rebinding saves the wrong buttons. The PS icons come from this patch either way.
- Turn on Hide DS4 Controller (HidHide) so the game only sees the virtual pad.
- Tip: in DS4Windows Auto Profiles, load your Xbox profile automatically when MIMESIS.exe runs.
- After switching, use Reset keys in the game's controls menu, since old binds may be wrong.
| Your button | Icon shown |
|---|---|
| ✕ ○ □ △ | ✕ ○ □ △ |
| L1 / R1 | L1 / R1 |
| L2 / R2 | L2 / R2 |
| L3 / R3 (stick clicks) | L3 / R3 |
Options
Patches > PSController on the main menu: turn it on/off.
Troubleshooting
Player.log has a [PSController] Gamepads:... line showing which pad the game uses. To log every button press, create an empty PSController-debug.txt in the Mods folder; delete it when done.
Uninstall
Use the installer's Uninstall selected, or delete PSControllerRuntime.dll from the game's Mods folder. Installed with Gale or r2modman? Remove or disable it there instead.
Build
dotnet build -c Release in Runtime.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
