First and foremost, game uses SDL2 library for controllers. What does this mean in practice? Well, it means you can use any common controllers which can connect to USB and use them with the game without any issues, not just Xbox controllers! This includes Dualshock 4, OUYA controller, older logitech controllers without XInput support like rumblepad 2 and many others. Only downside is lack of vibration, but at least controllers will work without any extra hasshle!

But no matter wheter you use your controller directly or with XInput wrappers, game will always show you Xbox 360 buttons regardless instead of changing them according to used controller. However as the game was also released for Playstation 4 as well as Vita, graphics for buttons were left in game files on PC, meaning they are already with the game!

So all we need to do is replace the 360 graphic file with the playstation one and we're good! :)

Sadly you might've noticed before this that games files are basically inside single .wad container making things bit harder and it doesn't seem to read any files outside of that particular wad file.

• Download and run the latest Hotline Miami WAD Explorer.[github.com]
  
• Open <path-to-game>\content\blob_data_desktop.wad.
  
• From list, search for buttonsps4.anb and extract it.
• Right above it on list should be buttons.anb. Highlight it and replace it with extracted buttonsps4.anb.
  
• Save the file and you should have .patchwad file.
  
• From top file menu, select merge patch option to open merge window.
  
• Select original *.wad and saved *.patchwad files and select merge. It's good idea to backup when prompted to avoid the pain of redownloading whole file.

And that's pretty much it! Open the game and you should have dualshock buttons.
If you prefer, it's also possible to use buttonspsv.anb for grayscale buttons instead of colored ones. buttonsx1.anb will sadly crash the game.
