PS3 Controller Using SPC Toolkit

[RogueSparks]

Hey guys,

I use a PS3 controller connected via SPC Toolkit. It worked just fine last night, but now my game just won't read my controller when I start it up, even though it was fine before. I have tried force installing the drivers again, nothing has worked. Any ideas?

Thanks

Does it work properly in other games, and does it appear as an Xbox 360 controller in Windows? There's an item in Windows' Control Panel to 'set up a USB Game Controller' you can see what devices it sees as being plugged in or enabled, and test which button/stick inputs it's reading. DS3 controllers are still working fine for me, and I haven't seen a driver update come up that would break them.

I use SCPToolkit for playing with my PS3 controller tto, but my issue seems slightly different.

The game starts and detects the controller as a Xbox controller, but the joysticks and the directional pad doesn't work properly. Moving R or the directional pad does nothing, and moving L only lets me move Velvet, but not the selection (even in the in-game menu).

Tried to reinstall drivers and even to configure a controller from Big Picture Mode on Steam but nothing works.

Don't use steam controller setups if you're using an x-input wrapper already. It will only cause a conflict.

Look for the "scpmonitor" app and see if they controller is showing up in that. If you're on windows 7, you'll also need the fixed 360 controller drivers from the 360 accessories software on microsoft's site (not needed for 8.1/10)

Apparently Berseria handles emulated Xinput very badly. If your tool allows you to rather use the controller in Dinput mode and map it into the game - the game has VERY good official support for Dinput type controllers - Only thing that will not probably work is rumble.

Not with a ps3 pad. Unlike the ds4 (which is picked up as d-input without a wrapper) the ds3 pad has no support whatsoever in games.

I've used scpserver and ds4windows and my ds4's been picked up fine.

Just chacked it and it shows me "Pad One: DS3 [MAC address] - Usb 0000xxxx Charged". I think

Just checked it and it shows me "Pad One: DS3 [MAC address] - Usb 0000xxxx Charged" and I'm on W10, so it should work perfectly as it does in my other games on steam.

I tried to connect and configure an old pc controller i have and now it works so I suppose the issue is related to xinput method. I don't really know much about this all but now it works.

Anyways, thanks for helping!

Just finished Zesteria and am ready to start Berseria with my pals. Has anyone been able to play it using PS3 controllers? Or is it just not posible? I really don't want to purchase 4 more controllers just for this one game.

To be honest, it was so much of a hassle that I just gave up. I didn't even finish the game I was so frustrated with it. I got my PS3 controller to read, but then it would just randomly uninstall the drivers and stop reading the controller mid-game.

Playing Berseria just fine with my DS3 using scarlet crush's xinput wrapper, never had problems using my PS3 controller for any game...

Playing on a ds3 using scptoolkit. Have had no problems at all with it.

Thanks for the input. I haven't had any problems using my PS3 controllers with any other games, so I guess I'll give it a try and hope for the best.
