Now run motioninjoy and connect a PS3 Sixaxis or Dualshock 3 controller to the PC using a USB cable.
#Pcsx2 dualshock 3 .dll#
dll which you must unpack into PLUGINS folder inside PCSX2 folder, and the other is key bindings configuration file, which you should place into INIS folder.
#Pcsx2 dualshock 3 archive#
Download it, the archive will have two files. Apart from PCSX2 emulator and motioninjoy, you will also require a modified pad plugin for the emulator. So the program doesn’t even work without active internet connection, keep that in mind. The very essence of its existence is to show Google Adsense adds to as much viewers as possible, to financially support the developer. It’s worth mentioning that even though the utility is free, it was not created to bring you the joy of PC gaming.

This is an utility from China, which, in awkward way, but does implement PC support for Dualshock 3 controller. However, a wired XBOX360 controller gets detected as a Windows game controller no problem, and you can use this controller in PC games. A wireless XBOX 360 gamepad can not be detected as a USB device at all. The funny thing is when you plug this controller to the console for charging, it indeed uses USB for power, but the data connection remains wireless. Beside the standard USB connection soldered in a non-standard way, they also used a proprietary protocol for wireless connection, which is claimed to have less latency. Microsoft went to even higher lengths in their proprietress. However, this doesn’t really prevent China from making shitload of compatible gamepads for the PS3. Sony may have done this in fear of loosing the aftermarket for its own device, which it is somewhat proved by removing third party USB game controller support from later versions of PS3 firmware.

A really think manufacturers should be prosecuted for using proprietary interfaces and connections. Same with wireless connection – while using standard bluetooth technology, the gamepad is not visible for standard bluetooth device. For some unknown reason, Sony, while using standard USB connection, did not make the gamepad a standard wired game controller. But there were problems while connecting PS3 Dualshock 3 gamepad to my PC. However, out of the 3 games only one runs somewhat smoothly, but I guess that’s hardware limitation on my laptop. The emulator itself caused zero issues, since you can get a ready to play package with all the necessary BIOSes and all that. Thankfully, out of all the vast PS2 library I really wanna play 3 titles only. Being sick and tired of waiting when my PS3 firmware will finally get PS2 backward compatibility, I decided to try out the PS2 emulator for my computer.
