Ive been using it for years and have had no problem. By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible and you can. I was wondering whats the best Dualshock 3 to PC program out there Im clueless All opinions/experiences are welcomed J.
It took awhile for someone to make a offline version, but you still have to install a driver that was made from that crappy application, but at least no need to connect to their service just to use the PS3 emulation driver, but the offline app can be buggy as may not detect, or need to be reinstall to fix it. DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to get the best experience while using a DualShock 4 on your PC. RPCS3 is a multi-platform open-source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger written in C for Windows Linux and BSD.
The PS3 emulator is yet another innovation on the PlayStation which supports many exciting games. Metal Gear Solid 3, for example, just doesn’t play right without those analog buttons. I used to use PS3 controller years ago, and the one thing I hated was using the only one driver that worked correctly without too much of a huge hassle, has a mandatory internet access to run the dumb emulator controller, which I don't trust it as it has potential attacks, as if someone gain access to that service can send all kind of things, and take data from you like banking info or whatever. If you want to use PS3 controller on PC as DualShock 4 or Xbox One its a matter of three clicks with reWASD. That makes the Dualshock 3 the best choice for playing emulated PS2 games in the PCSX2 emulator. If the games you play do not have controller support, you can assign keyboard and mouse bindings to PS3 controller on PC, and play any game. If you want to use PS3 controller on PC as DualShock 4 or Xbox One, its a matter of three clicks with reWASD. The two controllers are practically similar in every aspect, besides the touch pad which I think is useless, grips that seem to be better redesign on PS4, and redesign triggers, which you know there different, but using them will not be different. reWASD is a powerful joystick remapper, and also a controller emulator software.
PS3 controller was a go to controller if didn't like using the Xbox 360 controller, but when PS4 came out, the PS3 controller quickly got taken over by PS4 controller as it has better support on PC, and easier to work with compare to PS3 controller for driver support on PC.
