For the past few hours I've attempted to get my PS3 controller to work with the PS2 Emulator PCSX2. Unfortunately I've had no luck getting it to work, and am wondering if I could gain some assistance/help in something that I might be doing wrong, or an error of some kind (Procedure/Installation/etc.). I will now walk through the steps that I have done a few different times, always ending in the PS3 controller not being recognized by PCSX2. I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but my PS3 controller is the Sixaxis kind, not the DualShock 3. I believe I am following the steps correctly that are listed on the XInput Wrapper thread (http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wr...Controller), but I could be making a mistake. I have also tried following the basically the same instructions found on this post (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=59385385) (The "Getting your PS3 controller to run on windows in 2 minutes w/o motionjoy reply), but to no avail. I am running Windows 8.1 x64. I am not attempting to connect the PS3 controller via bluetooth, just wired through USB. Steps I've done:
1. Download Xbox 360 drivers for Windows 7 x64 (There is no Windows 8/Windows 8.1 drivers download, is this my problem?) (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/...or-windows)
2. Run the Xbox 360 driver installation exe in compatibility mode for Windows 7
3. Plug in my PS3 Sixaxis controller via USB cord into PC
4. Download XInput Wrapper v. 1.2.0.160 and XInput Wrapper Update v. 1.2.2.175
5. Extract files from XInput Wrapper v. 1.2.0.260 in \ScpServer\bin to C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\PS3
6. Extract files from XInput Wrapper v. 1.2.2.175 in \ScpServer\bin to C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\PS3, overwriting some old versions of some files
7. Run ScpDriver.exe, grant Administrator rights, click install, do not check Force Install
8. ScpDriver.exe reports Successful Install with Install Summary: Bus Device
Bus Driver
DS3 USB Driver
9. Exit ScpDriver.exe
10. Run PCSX2
11. Navigate to Config - Controllers - Plugin Settings.. (For LilyPad)
12. Attempt to assign buttons, via pressing buttons on PS3 controller, nothing.
After the failed attempt, I've rebooted and reinstalled different things, and even attempted to start fresh and see if I could get it working on my Windows 7 x64 laptop, which it would not work either. Is it because the controller is a Sixaxis and not a DualShock 3 controller? Or does it maybe have something to due with the Xbox 360 drivers only being for Windows 7 (No Windows 8 download, and it still didn't work on my Windows 7 x64 laptop)? Maybe I'm missing something or making a stupid mistake. I'm hoping I can get this to work soon (or eventually ), as I've never really played PS2 games on my PC and do look forward to doing so. Also after installation Better DS3 would not detect my controller, but maybe that's because it is a Sixaxis and not a DualShock 3. Hoping someone has some tips/solutions for me. I am ready to uninstall everything and redo it fresh but I'm not going to yet because someone said somewhere in the official XInput Wrapper thread that the uninstallation order (XInput, Xbox 360 Drivers) was important. I don't know if they're wrong, but I've probably already screwed that up as I've reinstalled the stuff and uninstalled it a few times already. Finally thanks for reading.
