How to use ps3 controller on dolphin emulator mac

No analog stick motion is detected, nothing. When I click a given button to map it and press the button, nothing happen. The controller is detected by Dolphin and listed as 'Input/0/PLAYSTATION®3Contro.' (it trails off, can't read the full listing). I've checked the official guide here, looked up several YouTube tutorials, and searched in several threads (e.g., 1, 2), as well as tried my luck at using the controller as an emulated Wiimote as recommended here, to no avail. My system specs are: a 21.5' iMac circa late 2013. The battery, I believe, is dead as the LED lights no-longer light up, nor will the controller be detected via Macintosh's Bluetooth setup. I say 'make use of' because the controller does work on my system in other games (used with both OpenEmu's Genesis emulator and Soma). Latter info provided only for context, I don't want to play with my keyboard and mouse. Dualshock 3) controller, USB Apple keyboard, Dynex mouse.

Only problem is that I don't have a Gamecube controller and the emulator won't allow me to make use of either my PS3 (model#CECHZC2U a.k.a. Visionary!Īnyhow, I've just installed Dolphin today. Not just because it's an emulator, but a dynamic emulator that allows graphical improvements over the original games.

Thanks to all devs, bug-reporters, alpha/beta testers, documentation writers, and all else who've worked to made Dolphin a reality.
