Alternatives

XInput Wrapper SCP is an open-source driver which allows for the DS3 to natively work on Microsoft Windows. There are two versions currently available:

  • XInput Wrapper
  • Bluetooth (Beta)

XInput Wrapper is currently the recommended version to use.

Instructions for Use

Included in the download for the XInput Wrapper are three folders - System, Win32, Win64. In the System folder is a .exe file, run it. Then, if the program you are going to use a DS3 with is 32-bit, take the XInput1_3.dll from the Win32 folder and place it in the program folder, in the same folder as the .exe for the program usually. For Steam games, this is usually in C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\. If the program is 64-bit, use the dll from the Win64 folder. If you use PCSX-Reloaded or PCSX2, you can also use the LilyPad plugin in the Win32 folder as your controller plugin.
