What works
The logon procedure works.
The games are fully playable.
What does not
As the DualShock4 / DualSense Touchpad is mapped in the Linux kernel driver as a simple mouse (pointer + buttons), the application cannot map it to the touchpad functionalities (which is the replacement of the Start button for several PS4 and PS5 games).
Workarounds
The version of library vcrun2013 provided via winetricks does not work. The working version has been downloaded from internet repositories such as the following:
https://www.dll-files.com/msvc...
Version: 12.0.40664.0
Architecture: 32
Hence, the application has been run with the DLL override:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=msvcr120=n wine psnowlauncher.exe
What was not tested
All the application component have been successfully tested.

I tested it with a DualSense. When opening the Game Controllers applet in the Wine Control Panel, the controller is displayed as a Connected xinput device and named "Wireless Controller". In this way, it would work exactly as a Xbox controller, with 10 buttons mapped and no support of the touchpad. Would it be possible to make it look exactly as the PS application is expecting (with touchpad buttons too)?
