my ps4 controller is not being detected just in ppsspp in a really weird way...

If your gamepads are xinput, they should be detected normally, but I'd recommend against using wrappers.

If your gamepads are using dinput you have to select whichever you want to use as default gamepad in windows controller options. I suspect that's your case althrough I'd rather use Xbox one/series controllers nowadays since third party ones include combo buttons, rollers and other options plus full compatibility with anything released for or ported to windows.
