DS3 Motion Coltrol on Linux

[AzimuthFE]

The latest post on the blog says that Dualshock 3 users on Linux can pass motion controls to the emulator. I have evdev installed on my machine I just need to know how to pass through motion data (using Debian Stretch with xorg)?

It's still currently less than desirable to configure as evdev splits the DS3's into three separate devices.

This PR https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/8473 will make it better.

This is my configuration for a DS4. A DS3 should probably be the same.

You'll need to right click the mapping buttons to manually select the various axes.

This allowed me to set up lateral movement but I don't have entries for Gyro axes (only Accel X, Y ,Z). Any ideas? Thanks for your help

Edit: I should mention that the only way I got motion controls to show up at all was to follow these instructions: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1088925/...3s-gyro-ac
So I have a rule in /etc/udev/rules.d like this:

Code:

SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="*Motion Sensors", TAG+="uaccess"

I don't know if that's related but just in case.

Apparently DS3s do not have a 3 axis gyroscope. They only provide "yaw" rotation and I'm not sure if the Linux driver even exposes it.

Ah, that's a shame (though it does explain why PS3 motion control sucked so hard). Guess I'll be getting a DS4 at some point, then. Thanks anyway, though
