How to make a PS3 controller work on your PC? - Neonie - 01-21-2010

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks to Pig Mask I now have all the Touhou games and I'd really like to use a controller and since the PS3 controller is USB based anyway I thought it would be perfect.

Anyone know how to get it to work?

I think you just have to plug it in? I got a cheap 360 3rd party one and it works fine just plugging it in.

It doesn't work when I just plug it in. I tried JoytoKey but it was to no avail. I think theres a program that unlocks it or something  ???

You can use a PS2 controller if you have a PS2 to USB converter device.

thank you, now i may be able to play a touhou game since I could never remap the buttons and my left arrow key is broken  :-X

Try playing one of those games without moving left, it is impossible and frustrating.

Fuck that, Touhou games are near impossible even when you CAN move left.

Oh well, I would not know as I sevearely lack experience in the art of moving left.

Re: How to make a PS3 controller work on your PC? - Wyrmidon - 02-13-2010

neonie's link didn't work for me. I think its because of vista.

this did though.


Re: How to make a PS3 controller work on your PC? - Neonie - 03-01-2010

Ya my link is an XP-tested only driver. I just kind of assumed no one in their right mind would ever use Vista.
