No rumble motors - Dolphin 5.0, Windows 7 x64, PS4 DualShock

Hello!

I recently fixed my desktop computer (running Windows 7 x64), and my old controller worked with rumble (it was an off-brand usb controller, wired, that broke). Since then, I've purchased a PS4 DualShock controller, and connected it to my PC via Bluetooth, using a combo of XBox 360 drivers and DS4Windows. Now, I know that the rumble does in fact work, as I have been playing other games on Steam where the rumble has activated with no issues.

However, when trying to configure the rumble motor in Dolphin, there aren't even any motors listed. I'm not very good with technical stuff, but the controller is listed as DInput/0/Wireless Controller. There's another thing on the dropdown menu, XInput/0/Gamepad, where there ARE motors listed, but that doesn't activate my controller.
All the other controls work, I can play things with no problems, just no rumble. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Attached is a screenshot of my configuration, and also a screenshot showing how no motors are listed for my controller.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks! <3

When using wrappers like DS4Windows, rumbles will be accessible only through XInput. So, select XInput/0/Gamepad on device list and set up your bindings again, that should fix it...

Hm. I tried that, and even though it is listed, my controller doesn't respond to it. When I try to set my controls, nothing happens. It's like it is listing a device that doesn't exist.

Wait! Never mind. I closed the program and reopened it, and now it is working. That was weird.
