PS3 Controller with Dolphin

MFZ · 10-20-2010, 07:21 PM #1

I first wanna say amazing job to the developers of this emulator. It really came a long way !

Who uses a PS3 controller with it ? I've been using one with r6281, but not until tonight did I install drivers that allowed rumble functionality. It's awesome.

I've got a genius maxfire blaze 3. Works like a charm.

I like it. It's just a different type of PS3 controller.. are the L2 and R2 triggers analog ?

Analog triggers? That's new for me. What's the difference between them and regular triggers? or do you mean the sticks?

EDIT: Nah, I don't think it has analog triggers. Looks like an advanced function and this controller was not that expensive. Works great with Dolphin though.

It just means that the triggers are pressure sensitive. It's good for certain games. Driving games for example - the gas pedal.

I got a question. After I installed the drivers required for the rumble function of my PS3 controller, Dolphin crashes at odd times - like when I quit out of the GC Pad config screen or stop emulation of a game. I can only assume it's cause of the drivers cause that's all I changed. Anyone else experience this ?

r6281, but I've tried other versions. It did the same thing.

Yeah, probably the drivers. Which Os btw? Make sure they are 100% compatible with your system, specially if you have a 64bit Os.

EDIT: Just saw your sig. Anyway, make sure the drivers are meant for Win7 32bit.

Thanks, I'll look into that..
