PS3 controller wont work on dolphin 2.0

drduren22 · 10-06-2010, 02:15 PM #1

I have downloaded dolphin 2.0 and i am using a PS3 controller to try to play Wind waker, but i have the latest version of directx and have connected the controller correctly and have tried configuring the controls under GCPadplugin and GCPad New, but when i start the game i cant get past the start screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated because i couldnt bring my ps3 to college and have nothing to do.

Google PS3 Motion joy. Follow directions. Install driver. Easy. I use a PS3 controller and everything works fine with me on the latest build.

Dolphin 2.0 is the latest "stable release" version, but it's getting old.
Most Dolphin users use svn builds of Dolphin rather than 2.0.

You can find recent svn build downloads here: http://www.dolphin-emu.org/download.html
There are usually multiple new revisions daily.

Hopefully your ps3 controller will work better with a recent build.

Choose your PS3 controller device in the device list drop-down box.
Click a detect button in the GCPad Configuration dialog, then press a button/move a stick on your ps3 controller.
It should just work in game then.

Sometimes hitting the "Refresh" button by the device list in the config dialog (after having starting the game) helps if it still isn't working. (A bug I occasionally experience. :/)

i only have dinput motioninjoy and sdl motioninjoy, i had it working earlier but now it doesnt and i dont know which setting i had it on

It's probably an issue with motion joy and your gamepad if neither DInput or SDL are working.
Make sure your controller is working in the Windows control panel gamepad status thing.

i was kind of vague before, everything works but the joysticks, i have tried configuring them in dolphin (svn r 6263) and have the corresponding controls with motioninjoy but it still doesnt work.

Show your config of GCPad or Wiimote New, ini file preferably (you can just paste it within "code" [] tags), otherwise a screenshot.
