[TheodoreBears]

Im new to dolphin and ive been trying to see if i can use my ps3 controller with the newest version of Dolphin not sure which one but its whatever is the newest one, im trying to use my controller as a well a "Gamecube" controller, or even a xbox controller which is less of a hassle? And if so how and what do i need to get this is started to do it, i cant find any answers anywhere i go, i read Motionjoy? works..but i have no clue how to set up any of this if someone could tell me a step by step or lead me in the right direction that would be great!

If your controller is recognized by your computer, Dolphin will probably notice it as well.

Any suitable input device Dolphin detects can be selected and configured by clicking the GCPad icon.

Well the problem is it doesnt, is says in the corner its register and ready to use, but when i go to the GCPad icon and click the drop down menu it gives me two ps3 options on is DInput/0/PLAYSTATION®3 Controller and the other is SDL/0/PLAYSTATION®3 Controller
but when i try to set up the inputs such as up and down i get no response, is there any way you or someone could give me a full detailed run down on how to set this up

You are supposed to select a gamecube button then press the corresponding button on your controller.

Is that what you are trying?

Hmmm well i dont see any gamecube option just those two and a keyboard option im using the newest version well its say Dolphin 3.0-201-dirty whatever that means..
So basically i have to figure out the button configuration for a gamecube controller on a ps3 or will this http://www.motioninjoy.com/ work because i have it just not sure if thats what i need or not, or would my best bet be to attempt to find a GC controller somewhere and rig it to a usb?

Good, good.

If you click the GCPad icon and select one of the two PS3 options, you should see a list of buttons that would be found on a Gamecube controller along with some clickable icons. Clicking on one will give you a few seconds to push the button on your controller that you want Dolphin to treat as a Gamecube's button.

I'm sorry, I don't use a PS3 controller so I wouldn't know.

I use a 360 Controller on my PC, and I didn't have any trouble setting it up.
