DualShock 4 Controller with HyperSpin Issues

[Mister Squirrel]

Hey guys I have my HyperSpin and HTPC about 75% setup and other than a few more systems and tweaks I am really only missing the final piece to this puzzle....the controller.

I want to use a DualShock 4 since it's one of my favorite controllers and the included touch-pad is vital for me when launching some games, like the ones where you need a mouse to initiate (I'm looking at you Uplay!)

I use DS4Windows and I have the DS4 connected properly when wired and also through bluetooth wirelessly. All of my emulators are configured perfectly to use it, my XBMC plays nice with it, and Steam works like a charm... BUT not HyperSpin. For the life of me I can't understand why It wont detect/work properly with HyperSpin's front-end menus. I've looked through as many posts as I could find and all I see are different situations where people are attempting control set-ups for arcade/mame/everything else, except I'm only using this for consoles and a controller and I don't think the same solutions apply for me. I tried turning off joysticks in HyperHQ like one person suggested but I can't configure anything through HyperLaunch HQ. The buttons to assign things like up, down, or even start and exit won't even detect my keypresses. Also, I know some people say to use Xpadder, and I have the program, but I have never used it and don't really know how what-so-ever. I'm not even sure how to go about that as it doesn't seem right...... a key mapper for a controller that is key-mapped to imitate another controller through windows?????

Sorry that this post is so long but I wanted to be as informative as possible AND on that note I should mention that when I first got the controller I didn't have bluetooth yet so I had the controller wired ONLY. I somehow got the controller to work through just playing around randomly with settings (not the right or ideal way, I know) but it seems like ever since I set it up wirelessy I started having issues and HyperSpin just stopped detecting it or it detects but a directional key press just sends the wheel spinning endlessly! I don't even know how to go back to whatever I did right because I set all the settings back to default in a desperate attempt to start over :/
