The legendary Steam Summer Sale is coming soon. Prepare yourself by setting up your favorite PS3 controller as a PC gamepad by following these quick and easy steps!
Yup, really old. The only thing people need to fix is to switch the shoulder buttons. I played Fallout New Vegas and some other games with MotionJoy years ago.
Don't be mean, mate. You know there are ppl who aren't everyday experimenting like you and me. Maybe this could give them a hint or hopefully just do the job for them.
It may not be news to you... But it is to me, I had a feeling that its doable, however never thought of investigating the matter lol. Gonna read this article and find out how.
I just plug in my wired xbox controller, no need to config and most games are already mapped for it. That being said, if all you have is a PS3, this is a great guide.
Yep. I've been using it for emulators for years now. I haven't played many PC games with it, though. The only ones I can think of are Skyrim, Arkham Asylum/City, and Lego Batman with my girlfriend.
Have you tried using your ps3 controller for SWTOR? I have the game, but I tried with the mouse and keyboard but have failed miserably. I am not used to playing computer games. I am also hoping that one day they will make this ftp.
Lol - I been using this an Emulating Wii. Its pretty funny playing 2 Player New Super Mario Bros with a xbox 360 and PS3 pad. Ain't no one gonna call me fan boy!
Yeah, but to those who don't have a 360 controller, this is an awesome solution. I could have gone out and bought one, but this saved me around 35 bucks when I discovered I could just use my PS3 controller.
I have to agree with you. It's pretty awesome. Although I'd never use a gamepad over the good old keyboard and mouse unless I was playing a racing game.
Anyways, in Motionjoy/DS3 Tool, you have to set it to "Xbox 360 controller emulator" for the analogue sticks to work. The "Playstation 3" mode, by default, has analogue sticks turned off. Although you can change that, it's better to stick with 360 mode since it has better compatibility with games.
I also suggest you calibrate the analogue sticks and triggers by first enabling the driver, going to Devices and Printers, right click Playstation 3 Controller and click Game Controller Settings.
Here's how: 1) throw away the playstation controller 2) plug in a 360 controller into the USB port. The drivers will be downloaded automatically within a minute or two
so much better to just plug in the 360 controller. its a better controller anyways. But you better not say anything about that on this site or you'll get your bubbles taken away. I commented negatively on the direction of Uncharted 3 once and both my bubbles disappeared. Wasn't even trolling.
to the disagree - you are saying its not true i got my bubbles taken from suggesting uncharted 3 was going too over the top? this site needs more regulations so that fanboys can't have any control over others on here
i don't comment much so i didn't take the time to make a new account.
I disagreed because I don't think the 360 controller is better. The d-pad sucks, and I don't use a controller to play new games, just older games via emulation. In that regard the 360 controller is horrible when used to play older games.
Why would I use an inferior 360 controller when I can use the superior PS3 controller? Dualshock has always been the best and it still is which is why the hardly change it.
Sorry, but in this case I have to disagree. I have a ps3 myself, but I must admit that the xbox 360 controller is much better. ps3 controllers get's broken way too easy as well.
You forgot the most problematic step that takes place between one and two.
1.5) Now go out and waste $30+ bucks on a controller for a console you don't even own because apparently you're too goddamn lazy or stupid to follow a few easy steps to get your dualshock working with your PC.
Try and curb your fanboyism before posting next time. You might actually prevent yourself from looking like an idiot.
Yes, and then one of your joysticks will get stuck slightly in on spot all the time. I love when I put the controller down and my character starts to slowly move to the left. Xbox 360 controllers are terrible quality.
I can definitely see, and in your position, I'd do the same thing. I came strictly from PC gaming, but certain games are just more fun on gamepad....so I bought the 360 controller on amazon since I had no consoles to cannibalize the part from.
The 360 controller "emulation" is more like making games detect the PS3 controller as a 360 controller rather than emulating anything. Which means, if a 360 gamepad works, so would MotionJoy. I've used my PS3 controller in countless games and never ran into any incompatibility problems.
What you said doesn't make any sense!I'm a "serious" PC gamer and own 2 Xbox 360s. I have one in the living room and one sitting next to my PC and connected to a 23" monitor.
In terms of compatibility and ease of use(plug n' play), the best pad for PC is the Xbox 360 controller.
Whether you prefer the 360's controller or the dual shock is completely subjective.
Actually it does work without internet. I figured out how when I had no internet for like 2 months a while back. Had a blast playing Just Cause 2, FIFA, RE5(split screen with my brother) on PC when i had no internet access.
If you guys are still interested in finding out how, then PM me or reply. I can get back to you once I'm home on my computer.
This is how I play my PC games through Steam.
Highly recommend it!!
Oh yeah, Motionjoy... I use this all the time for emulators and PC games. Works like a charm!
i just plug up a 360 controller via usb.. just works automatically.
How to use a USB Xbox 360 gamepad on a PC: Just plug it in.
I tried using this to play Half Life 2, but i could figure out how to use the analog sticks, such a noob i know, but if someone helps me, i wont be
Would a PS3 controller work with StarCraft 2?
Edit: I knew i was gonna get that, i plug my laptop into my awesome tv to play SC2, i then use a wireless mouse (it isnt the greatest)
I cant be bothered to buy a keyboard just to play one game, you dont even need a keyboard to play SC2 its the only game i play on my pc (laptop)
