Hello, I've got PS Move controlers and PS4 Camera that I want to get to work on Linux (I'm using Nobara that is based on Fedora).

I've tried installing the psmoveapi through my package manager and I've tried building it separately, but I always get the same error message when I try using it:

··psmove camera-firmware
[INFO ps4_camera_firmware.cpp:  235] Found OV580 in Boot Mode at 004:003: PS5 camera
[FATAL ps4_camera_firmware.cpp:  145] Verify fp != nullptr failed: Could not open firmware file '/home/marcoll
e/.psmoveapi/camera-firmware-ps5.bin'

and

·psmove camera-firmware --force-ps4
[INFO ps4_camera_firmware.cpp:  235] Found OV580 in Boot Mode at 004:003: PS4 camera using homemade adapter (-
-force-ps4)
[FATAL ps4_camera_firmware.cpp:  145] Verify fp != nullptr failed: Could not open firmware file '/home/marcoll
e/.psmoveapi/camera-firmware-ps4.bin'

and with sudo

··sudo psmove camera-firmware
[sudo] password for marcolle:  
[INFO ps4_camera_firmware.cpp:  235] Found OV580 in Boot Mode at 004:003: PS5 camera
[FATAL ps4_camera_firmware.cpp:  145] Verify fp != nullptr failed: Could not open firmware file '/etc/psmoveap
i/camera-firmware-ps5.bin'

I did not found anyone with a similar problem here or in github issues. My controllers works fine and were recognized before installing psmoveapi, but I needed the camera to work and the only option I've found was through psmoveapi and I can't procceed with this message.

Anyone can help me, please.
