Do you perhaps have a third party pad

>>9044978
Not retro, not your personal tech support, fuck off

>>9044980
Nope it's a definitely Sony (or a really good fake)

>>9044981
eat a dick asshole

>>9044978
Depending on the OS, don't you have to install the X360 controller driver as that's what the DS3 gets emulated as? I'm using a DS3 on PC and whenever I plug it in Windows thinks a X360 controller just got plugged in.

>>9044978
Tested on WinXP Mode VHD booted in VMware Player

Install prerequisites:
DirectX 9.0 - directx_Jun2010_redist.exe
MS Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable - vc2013redist_x86.exe
.NET Framework 4.0 - dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe

Run ScpDriver.exe, (un)check Force Install depending on the OS, then install

Install MS Xbox 360 Accessories (contains XBOX 360 For Windows driver) - Xbox360_32Eng.exe

Attach DS3 to a VM, calibrate in Control Panel

By the way DS3 has official PC drivers in PS Now
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Now

Too bad that the current installer doesn't support Windows 7 (let alone XP) and the older versions are nowhere to be found. Might be worth a try if you have a newer botnet.

>>9044978
Try DsHidMini PS3

>>9045274
This. SCP is outdated crap.

You can use below. It's on the pcgamingwiki in a mega link. Works on win7
>Wireless Controller Driver - 'DUALSHOCK 3'-3.0.0.0

SCP is not recommended cause input lag, bad coding, and a bunch of other shit. Also hard to uninstall.

You can then run the game in Steam for XInput compatibility.

Also this is seemingly the most trustworthy link for the SDK driver, cause official links are dead.

I made it work, played Cuphead with it, but it's been a long time I can't remember anything.
Also anyone else have troubles with DS3? Mine doesn't work anymore, it charges the battery and all but when I turn it on, all buttons get pressed randomly so I can't do anything with it.

>Also anyone else have troubles with DS3?
Mine works fine. It just loses connection because the wired port is a piece of shit, so I have to use a rubber to avoid it going loose.

i used scp toolkit with a ds3 thru usb for bout 2yrs, and it works just fine, when u install it select force install driver, select ds3 controller and make sure its selected in the device list, the first time i installed it i had other usb shit plugged in, and my wireless mouse/kb was selected instead of the controller,

there were a few times when the ds3 wouldnt connect, if unplugging it and plugging back in doesnt fix it u may have to restart ur pc, if that doesnt fix it reinstall the driver.

when its working it works great, only reason i stopped using it was because my ds3 had drift on the left stick that was pissing me off , so i got a wired 360 pad.

There's noticeable input lag with SCP because it's a clusterfuck. It has to translate to XInput on the fly. Hogs an USB slot once installed, and isn't even a driver, it works as a windows service.
>there were a few times when the ds3 wouldnt connect, if unplugging it and plugging back in doesnt fix it u may have to restart ur pc
Yup, I remember this. This is because SCP is poorly coded. Just use the SDK driver. The only drawback is if the wired slot loses connection the game will have to be restarted. Kinda significant, I don't see a better option on Win7.

im using the DS3 with SCP right now. its been so long i forgot how i actually got it to work, but i do know that my PC recognizes it as an Xbox 360 controller.

my problem is trying to get the rumble effect to work in epsxe. i dont think it works the way it should..

Look up ViGem and Xoutput, way easier and more elegant than SCP by miles

DsHidMini is the way nowadays. Follow the guide properly and you'll even get pressure-sensitive buttons over Bluetooth in PCSX2.

That's win10 only but that site has some good evidence why SCP toolkit has a fuckton of clutter around it

https://vigem.org/projects/ScpToolkit/ScpToolkit-Removal-Guide/

There's like 20 steps to removing all the drivers and freeing up the bluetooth dongle slot

>>9047573
>That's win10 only
Fair point, I should've noted that. But yeah ScpToolkit was always horrible even when it was all we had.

>>9044978
It sucks to get it to work but it's the only way to emulate pressure sensitive buttons for PS2 games with lilypad.

>>9048148
>lilypad
Time to move on from the ancient plugin builds. PCSX2 just added native pressure modifiers for pads

are you people retarded or something?
plug controller, install the toolkit, run the driver installation (desktop icon), select ps3 drivers, check if ps3 controller is detected by expanding the ps3 controller collum, click install, done, close and play
I bet you retards also hate retroarch "too complicated"

Why do the DS3 and a PC have so much trouble talking to one another anyway? Sony faggotry or MS faggotry? Which company is being the dick in this situation?

>>9048196
It's Sony in this case.

>>9048196
Just that sony never provided proper drivers is all

A good option if you have a Windows other than 10. DsHidMini otherwise is the clear choice as the PCGW page says

>>9048178
from what i remember SCP is no longer supported so i had to find the download link off of some random reply chain on Steam. that or it was because i dont use Win10, i forget which. Windows also doesnt recognize my ps3 controller, dont know why yours would. right now my computer sees it as an Xbox controller - dont remember how/why i did it that way either

>>9048204
>>9048216
How typical. This smells like the bullshit Sony pulled in connecting the PS Vita/TV to a PC. Retardedly complex compared to how the PSP was.
>boohoo we don't want people ripping our games!
Didn't matter in the end because the Vita got fucked by proprietary shit making it bomb vs. the PSP, the PSTV isn't even a decent emulation device.

It's payware, but reWASD has excellent PS3 controller support.

>>9048782
Nothing wrong with payware if it does the job

>>9044978
Bump for the method to get it working in GNU/Linux. Please be gentle, I originated from a DOS background, so I'm not too knowledgeable on how to work Linux, but I had to refuse to go onto Win10.

>>9049065
>Please be gentle
Alright. Dual boot Windows 10.

>>9044978
dualshock 3 is dogshit just get a ps2 or ps5 controller, or any xbox controller
also try DS4windows if you haven't already

>>9050351
>ps2
Not a bad option if you're fine with wires. Raphnet adapter for PC is great.
>ps5
No pressure sensitivity.

>>9048148
Does the DS3 even have pressure sensitivity

>>9048178
>retroarch "too complicated"
yes

>>9051183
Yes

>>9050360
Wires mean no need to worry about batteries blowing up.

>>9050351
PS3 controllers for my Vita TV and PS1 and PSP games. Those controllers will last for hours and work without a battery when wired.

This thread prompted me to dust off my DS3 and try it out on a few games (new and old) and man I had forgotten how sensitive the sticks are. One thing though is using the Dpad again is stirring some memories playing PS1 games (yeah I know the feel isn't quite the same as a PS1 controller but it is close enough) so a session of crash bandicoot is in order. For once /vr/ has been helpful.
