@Zenwolf: awesome! Glad to hear it. I was honestly worried for ya for a minute there. But again its an issue that's happened to me frequently. It always seems to be the most obvious fixes. The ones that make you go "meh, nothing else worked, but why not?" Lol. Congrats.
@Scarlet: regarding zenwolf's issue: honestly I think its some sort of bug in the ds3 controllers themselves. I can't quite figure out what causes it, but it seems to occur most often while attempting to pair a controller with a device, and disconnecting/reconnecting via USB. The issue he has mentioned has occurred for me with multiple controllers, drivers, OS's, etc. I've had it occur while trying to pair with various drivers on windows, while pairing on OSX on my Mac, and my PS3 as well (much more rare on ps3 though, which makes me think it may be a pairing bug or something) whatever it is it causes the controller to become unresponsive and if it weren't for the reset button, most would think there controller went dead, just as zenwolf. I know I did as well the first once or twice it occurred to me.
@nedo: can you specify if this sort of issue occurs in other emulators/games? Have you tried restarting your PC? Maybe it needs to reset analog inputs? The input plugin in dolphin might need its deadzones adjusted (if you are referring specifically to analog controls), also, if the ds3 controller is wore out, the analog controls may have become loose from wear n tear. If so, it could be the cause for "jumpy" controls, unfortunately. Hence why I ask to narrow if its a problem specific in dolphin. good luck
